I think the publishers owe me a new disc:
$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso
dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error
4507496+0 records in
4507496+0 records out
2307837952 bytes (2.3 GB) copied, 614.439 seconds, 3.8 MB/s

I/O errors are quite common when the last sector is smaller than the
block size. Use "blockdev --getbsz /dev/dvd" to get the blocksize of
the DVD, then add a "bs=<block size>" option to the dd command, of
course without the <>.
