I've also seen this with Underworld Evolution, but Xine wouldn't play it
either, and I was unable to rip an iso of it as well.  A friend of mine said
the only way he could get his copy to play was to rip it with DVD Shrink.  I've
read that  it was because Sony was using some newfangled copy protection on it.
 I can't remember where I read that, but you can google around for it.
