Looks like you have a RPC 2 drive that means it. These newfangled
drives won't let you read sectors that are protected unless the
region is the one that you set the drive to.
One way to make sure this is the case is to get a DVD that's the
proper region, and see if that plays ok.
If the region on this broken disk is the same as the one on your
drive, something else is wrong.
