What sort of DVD ?
Normal file system ?
        If so, I have no comment on speed.
        Exxcept that I think bs=32k is normal ?

If Hollywood specially crippled movies with deliberate bad sectors
or whatever latest tricks theyre up to, maybe thats slowing the drive,
with retries, in which case you might want eg 
        vobcopy -b
