lsdvd bails out with an error, if there there is an error reading a title from DVD, even if a different title was explicit selected using the -t switch. I'll attach a simple patch that makes lsdvd ignore read errors in DVD titles that won't be used for output anyway.

Are you passing -t on a title that doesn't exist, or what?
I'll try better: lsdvd always reads the infos for all titles (even if only a single title was selected with "-t") and bails out if there is an error. Now, if for example title 5 is unreadable but you're interested in title 1, you should be able to get the info by using "-t 1", but that doesn't work, as lsdvd errors out before even starting the output because it can't read title 5. To solve this my patch makes lsdvd ignore read errors in titles it wouldn't display anyway.
