As final note... reading 3 different DVD with mplayer or mencoder I
don't get this issue, but that other one
READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 8 bf 60 0 0 1 0
CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(cd0:ata1:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(cd0:ata1:0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:11,5
(cd0:ata1:0:0:0): L-EC uncorrectable error
(cd0:ata1:0:0:0): Retrying Command (per Sense Data)
within 1 or 2 minutes.
