Or, with use of a specific return code:
die() {
  RT=3D$1
  shift
  echo "$@"
  exit $RT
}

and call it either with the error code of the previous
program:
> vobcopy -m || die $? "vobcopy failed"
or your own return code
> vobcopy -m || die 58 "vobcopy failed"

Just a point a detail, if it can be useful...
