Yep, DVD drive can't read the disc for whatever reason.

FWIW, I've had horrible luck with DVD players in my computers reading
DVDs. Probably less than half the DVDs I try to watch or RIP can be
read fully. Yet, the same DVD in my PS2 plays just fine. I've gone
through 3 different DVD players with varying levels of success, but
still don't have a good one.

It would be nice if the internal player didn't give up so easily when
encountering errors and instead skipped a couple sectors when an error
is enountered and attempted to continue playing, instead.
