More info: 
I had found that the read errors that HAD happened for me exactly as you 
describe were caused by the dvd not being fully/correctly mounted...
Hence,  from a shell     for me 'dev/cdrom0'  is correct, yours may be 
'/dev/cdrom1' or   '/dev/dvd' .... dont ask me to explain that one.

'eject /dev/cdrom0'        will open the dvd draw.
'eject -t /dev/cdrom0'     will load and mount the dvd.

when the prompt returns to allow you to type the next command,
then the dvd is mounted fully.... the time it takes to mount the dvd can 
vary ......
then it is safe to type    'vobcopy -m'

I could be wrong of course , but by following this rule I have had a 
100% success rate..... done many dvd for my personal use in the last 6 
months.
