The DVDR froze trying to play a recording, so I shut it down, pulled the HD out, and made an image of it thus:
ddrescue -d /dev/sdc dvdrfile.img dvdrfile.logfile
Rescued size while running was 10MB less than total size.
You probably misread the output ;) If you watch progress, you'll see ipos/opos starts at the start of the defect(s), tries to read, and then skips what was already read. If you have e.g. some "special" DVDs with (simulated) defects at the start, then ddrescue tries at the start, skips ahead, reads the rest of the disk, retries at the start, and ipos/opos might end up at 20MB when done. When 6678MB of 6679MB were read successfully. BTDT.
Average rate was 49894kB/s. Errsize: 67072B. Errors: 81. Rescued: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's what counts 320072MB. ipos/opos 314588MB. Runtime: 106min.

Should I try again using -r12 or more, or with other options? Or with dc3dd, or something else? Should I try again after dropping its temperature in the refrigerator or freezer? Is more improvement pointless to hope for?
You can try... But as the disk has flagged 131 sectors as bad (but pending to be mapped out as defect -> Reallocated), I doubt you'll get more off that disk. You're missing 65.5kB. You decide.
