DVD Playback stutters after a while and ultimately stops.

Hello. I am an Arch user and when I play DVDs in VLC, all goes well for about 40 minutes to an hour when my playback starts stuttering until it gets so bad VLC stops.

The output of my dmesg:

I am assuming this is not permanent damage, as I usually get a wholly different sort of errors for a failing drive.

Any ideas?

Hi, as a workaround, I'd suggest booting Arch with the legacyide option. I couldn't install Ubuntu because of this error, and Gentoo works like charm when not using the PATA drivers that use the SCSI stack.
