This I did not know !
So on DVD and BD, a logical 2K sector may be unreadable, but another 2K 
sector in that same ECC (physical) block may still be readable ?
So if block x is unreadable, blocks x-1 and x+1 may very well still be 
readable ?
That actually completely shakes my understanding of reading physical vs 
logical blocks.
