+It's normal, you've ripped off and sold an intentionally defective disk.
+The only way to play these DVDs is to circumvent the bad blocs of the disk
+by using DVDnav instead of mpdvdkit2.
+You can do so by replacing dvd:// by dvdnav:// on the command line.
+DVDnav is so far mutually exclusive with mpdvdkit2, so make you you pass
+<option>--disable-mpdvdkit</option> to configure script.
