Bad sectors

[serlod]

The original DVD has bad sectors. I want to copy it anyway. How get around the problem?

[setarip]

Rip it with DVD Decrypter...

And what? I tried to do so. With 20 retries for each error it took more than 15 hours for 555 errors. Then I just stopped the process.
May be I've made something wrong and there is another way to solve the problem?

Change the DVD Decrypter settings to ignore errors ("0 retries", if I remember correctly). If you're luvky, the ripped version may be acceptable.

Have you tried cleaning the DVD?

Have you tried running a DVD/CD cleaning disc on your DVD player/burner? Maxell makes one that retails for approximately $10US...

Thanks a lot. Yes, i cleaned the DVD but there is just a rather big scratch on the surface.
Really thanks for advice to change settings. I' m an idiot

I went to Settings to bookmark Device and tried to change the number of Fast error skip. It didn't affect the process at all. I still have 20 retries per error.
Cleaning disk didn't help also.
What do I need to do now?

Tools>>Settings>>General

Change "Software read error retries" to 1

Put a checkmark next to "Ignore read errors"

FYI -- I see it under Tools-Settings- /I/O.

Early on I backed up some DVD onto crap Princo discs that generate various studdering, even locking up problems. I'm going to try this and see if it ignores the read errors and copies what it can off the bad media.

Thanks a lot. It's in I/O and it works
Thanks to Setarip for idea

That's what I get for posting in the morning hours - Sorry for the minor innacuracy.



"Thanks to Setarip for idea"

My pleasure ;>}


Most importantly, however - Was the resultant rip acceptable, or too problematic due to the skipped sectors?

[windtrader]

I tried the setting and it cut right through the skipper. Have not had a chance to review the exact skip points and see any jumps. I was expecting the read error count to register but I guess if you have it set to ignore then it IGNORES.

This is my salvation to crap discs I have and will encounter in the future. Thansk again!
