Can you tell whether I have a hardware or software problem with a DVD-ROM drive?

Trying to copy the content of a DVD on a Asrock ION 330 running Maverick, i.e. with:
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=dvdcopy
...I get errors in /var/log/messages:

I'd tell it is a hardware problem, but it happens with various DVDs and on a second PC, also running Maverick... Both the PCs previously ran Lucid, same problems.
