I've had similar experiences with DaVinci Code and Casino Royal.
The error is:

Outputting to /big/MOVIE/CASINO/CASINO_ROYALE1-1.vob

  16MB of 6834MB written (0 %)

  acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x05 
  acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x05 


My work around so that I can watch the movie I rented is to skip
over the problem area (probably intensional by Hollywood)

    vobcopy -b 50m

Try adjusting the offset-size to your needs.
