Possible problem mounting Video DVD

I am hoping this is the right place for some advice on an issue I have
with one type of Video DVD created on my Panasonic DVD Recorder. If this
is not the right place, I apologise and would appreciate being directed
to the correct team.

I have been having problems with Video DVDs created on my Panasonic DVD
recorder which records terrestrial TV. They will not mount as browsable
by a normal user on my Fedora 20 64bit system. All other Video DVDs from
my Sony and LG recorders mount as browsable as they should. I can browse
the directory structure OK with these failing DVDs only if I login as root.

The same problem happens on two different PCs so it is unlikely to be a
hardware problem.

I can play these Video DVDs without any problem in Dragon Player, VLC or
Kaffeine as a normal user on both PCs but any attempt to open them to
rip the video in say K3B fails.

If I boot the PCs into Windows XP then I can browse the file structure
as a normal user without any problem and on XP Pinnacle Studio can
import the video with no problem at all.

The DVDs in question show the following error messages when placed in
the drive:-

Is this a potential bug in the mount command?
