I take that back.  I can see .vob, .bup, and .ifo files, but I can't read
most of the .vob files.  Under both Linux and MacOSX I can only read
VIDEO_TS.VOB.  All of the others (VTS_[0-9][0-9]_[0-9].VOB) give me an
input/output error.  I tested this in both Linux and MacOSX with
"for i in *; do cat $i > /dev/null; done".

I also tried creating a raw image of the DVD, and on both
OSs I got an input/output error before I had read even a full megabyte.

Thanks for all the effort.

Does anyone maintain a list of "you're screwed" drives that I should check
in the future, and get the MATSHITA/Panisonic UJ-815 listed on to warn
others?
