Hmm... tried a different media player, mplayer or [g]xine maybe? That's
the only other thing I can think of right now from an Ubuntu perspective.

The other thing angle might be to look at the hardware - I've certainly
had DVD and CD drives go marginal on me - i.e. able to read but not to
write, or able to read and write this media, but then after a certain
period suddenly unable to do so while other media works.
