Cannot Play DVD - Unknown filesystem?

Question

I have a DVD that was created on a some DVD recorder/player box. I am trying to grab the files off of it so I can do video editing of the footage.

My problem is I cannot read the DVD. It is detected as a blank disk on Windows and OS X. Linux won't find the disk to mount it. The DVD plays perfectly fine on a standalone DVD player (Toshiba was the one I tried).

Since I can't mount the disk with Ubuntu, I am guessing there is filesystem on the disk which cannot be read. Are there some packages out there I can install to give me a shot at reading this filesystem and ripping off the data?

EDIT: After running vlc /dev/sr0 dmesg shows the following

Based on this my guess is to dd it into a .iso or .img file. Not sure if that will help the I/O errors though.

Why not do a Google search for "dvd ripper ubuntu?" https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/acidrip/ — TheWanderer, Oct 04 '15 at 15:27
The packages needed depends on the disc, but the ones you need should be installed by default anyway. Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of dmesg that appears when you put the disc in? (So (with the disc out), run dmesg and note lastest output, put the disc in and wait for it to spin up, run dmesg again and copy the new output) — Wilf, Oct 04 '15 at 15:28
@Zacharee1 - there are a few questions I think with such answers, example https://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately - though https://askubuntu.com/questions/15827/recovering-files-from-a-corrupt-cd-dvd/15839#15839 is a possible dupe — Wilf, Oct 04 '15 at 15:31
@Wilf dmesg and /var/log/syslog doesn't have any new messages in it when I put the DVD in the drive. I hear the drive spin up real quick and that is it. — mightymouse3062, Oct 04 '15 at 16:03
Dunno then... you could try vlc /dev/sr0 (or /dev/dvd whatever it is using - vlc will need to be installed) as that can work with some weird DVDs - you may want to make sure things like libdvdcss are installed (see here) — Wilf, Oct 04 '15 at 16:06
I just made sure the package was installed and VLC didn't work. The error was libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. — mightymouse3062, Oct 04 '15 at 16:17
Try running sudo apt install libdvdcss2 libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 libdvdcss-dev in a terminal — , May 15 '16 at 01:19
