Actually, I get this on my laptop as well. Some drives (esp. Matshita/Panasonic
ones apparently) return garbage/garbled data when no region has been set but
the disc has a region mask.

It's fairly easy to check for on linux if you have the fd of the open device,
but I don't think dvdread gives us that either.

Here's the output from Thoggen:

 :: DVD DISC INSERTED: FOO BAR
 :: Current Region Code settings:
 ::   RPC Scheme                           : RPC-II
 ::   Type                                 : NO REGION CODE SET YET
 ::   Vendor resets left                   : 4
 ::   User controlled changes left         : 5
 ::   Region_mask=0xFF
 ::   Drive will play discs from region(s) : NONE, you must set a region first
 :: DVDDiscID (/dev/scd0) failed.

** (thoggen:9219): WARNING **: DVDDiscID (/dev/scd0) failed.
