If you mount it with "mount -t iso9660 ..." then you should probably try
it without the -t option or with "-t auto".

Does this happen with only one or a few DVDs or with every DVD?

I. too, had this problem with only one of my DVDs. Reading it and
creating a new iso with dvdisaster helped. dvdisaster could read the
DVD without an error and the new iso could also be mounted without a
problem.
