Thank you but I think it is confused as the disk is brand new,
part of a set and all of them spew errors when placed in a drive.
They also play flawlessly in a DVD player which is one of those
multimedia types that will play anything from ISO9660 CD's to
DVD's.
I think there is a deliberate protocol violation in the
control data that is there to discourage copying as there are
just too many brand new disks (6 all together) for them all to be
duds. I do agree that damaged disks do normally throw these
errors but it also looks like one is not supposed to mount them
as file systems. In that way, they are exactly like iso9660
disks.
