Failed to Read Sectors Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error

So, I am having trouble creating an image file from a disc. I have used imgburn for many many years without a problem. I only use it to back up and make image files of personal things I make, install Cds etc.. I have also used it to make image files of some math software and I have been doing these for about 7 years now because as everybody knows, everything loads up quicker from the image file.  Anyways, I tried to perform this same process from the same company that I have done other discs from but,this time I am getting an error and was just wondering what it could be. None of the other hundreds of discs I have image filed have had any copyright protection on them (that I know of) so I am wondering if maybe thats the issue? Attached is my log.

So, the disc is brand new and yes it is clean. I have tried it on 3 different DVD drives and yes, all of them give me the same error. It is not a DVD I have tried to burn in the past. I'm not really trying to burn it as I am keeping the DVD its just I want to load it from the the computer using a virtual drive so i am trying to make an image file from the disc.

Ok, so it's a pressed (silver) disc then, not a 'burnt' one?

It could be a form of copy protection, yes.

The name of the file the problem sector belongs to certainly has a random looking name, but maybe that's normal for that disc? You could just keep ignoring the error (click 'continue') and let it fill the bad sector with zeros.
