I'm not sure, but from my experience, I think it may have been a manufacturing issue.  2 of the copies I bought had ripping/read errors at different points - With the first copy I bought, I was able to successfully rip the theatrical version but the extended version failed near the end; in the 2nd copy I bought, the theatrical version failed to rip at some point.  But with the 3rd copy, my computer was able to rip both successfully.  So I doubt it's an issue with the ripping tools, or even my optical drive (which has been able to rip many discs successfully).
