Version Descriptor Set Terminators must be set to 1, not 0
Makeps3iso currently creates ISO images with VDST==0, which is invalid. It has to be set to 1.
The python library pycdlib has a workaround for this issue: https://github.com/clalancette/pycdlib/issues/99 but this should also be fixed in makeps3iso since other tools might also do this check to validate the ISO and break.
I totally missed this issue. I'll take a look and see if I can update the VDST value.
Edit: also I'd check if PS3 backup managers work correctly if the ISOs have VDST=1 before doing any changes. Because in the end, the main goal is to use these ISOs on the PS3, and if managers expect the value to be zero, then it would be a headache.
I'm not sure, but it seems that the value is actually set to 1 here?

I don't know the internal structure of DVDs well enough to tell if that is the VDST that pycdlib complained about or if it is a different field. Pycdlib has a workaround that solves the issues for me so I am fine if you just want to close this issue. (and if no one else has ever reported an issue with this, it can't be all that many people that were affected in the first place.) Since a workaround exists it might not be worth the effort to dig into this any deeper.
