I have not installed dvdisaster, but I'd be really surprised if it
won't check dvd's. The ebuild description is "Tool for creating error
correction data (ecc) for optical media (DVD, CD, BD)" so if it really
balks at a dvd, I'd file a bug.
Also - what is your criteria for finding an error? Could you just read
the entire disk or copy to /dev/null and just look for any read
errors? (I'm not sure if I'd try cp or dd or some variant on dd.)
