I have had very good success with dd -> .iso and then playing with xine. And it has worked with every disk except one odd problem.
The disk "Escape from New York" fast forwards at almost every scene change for no reason. (you don't know how bummed I was that this happens) I can slow it down to regular speed after it does this, but who wants to watch a movie like that. Don't know if it is copy protection related. Also, I use to have a old teac cd-rom that would read disks that others would not. It was magic so I believe that hardware could a solution.
