DVD-R playback stops at 27 minutes ?

[LorenAmelang]

Using VLC Version: 3.0.8-1 on Antergos / Arch Linux. Playing factory DVDs it plays all the way through. Playing my Sony DVD Recorder discs, each movie stops at exactly the same place every time - usually somewhere in the 27th minute, but different seconds for different movies. I have Messages Verbosity set to 2, and get lots of errors if I insert a bad disc, but when these movies stop there are no errors. The DVD menu disappears and I'm back at the main screen, like before I selected the disc to play.

The strange thing is that the Windows 10 64-bit version of VLC plays the same movies perfectly! Windows shows the 27 minute marks somewhere in the middle of a chapter, not at a boundary...

The discs look like this:

$ isoinfo dev=/dev/sr0 -l
