I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. Perhaps my clarification wasn't as clear as I thought?

What this means is that it's possible to scan a DVD in a consumer drive, e.g. in a LiteOn drive, and have the scans show PIE <= 280 and PIF <= 4 which is within ECMA specifications, and that same disc could still be unreadable in some other drives that don't read as well as the scanning drive or react negatively to some property of the disc that the scanning drive doesn't have any problem with.

If that isn't the question you wanted me to answer, you will have to rephrase your question.
