I just got my hands on a Toshiba DVD drive (model 1212 I believe) and experience no problems. This indicates that the drive is storing the disc length and failing to reset it for DVD's. I cannot find anyone else with this same drive under Linux, so I ask anyone who has an Acer DVP1040A or Pioneer 114 DVD-ROM drive to see if you get similar results to what I receive on my system. If so, I'd appreciate some help patching the cdrom driver to work around this problem (it works fine in windows). BTW here's the code that I've been using to read the drive, but it gets the job done:

This also allows one to test for the problem without applying the UDF or CDROM patches. You may need to be root to run the program. After compiling with gcc charcount.c -o charcount you can run it on any file (for my tests I used charcount /dev/cdrom). Please CC my e-mail address when replying.
