I have a source DVD (DVD-9) with about half a dozen bad sectors. The disc is brand new with absoutely no scratches or smudges. I've tried both Bad Copy Pro and DVD X Repair, and neither were able to read these sectors. When playing the disc on a stand-alone player, there is a short (about half a second) freeze in the video, but it continues fine after that.
I copied the entire disc to my HD with Bad copy pro, which replaced the unreadable data (I believe it's about 25k worth) with filler. I tried to transcode the video down to fit on a DVD-R with DVD Shrink, but it hung up on the filler data. CloneDVD did the same.
I'm open to any suggestions for backing up this disc. I haven't been able to find a program that will repair an MPEG2 video stream like divfix does for divx video. If there is such a program out there, please let me know. Also, if there is a different piece of transcoding software that would ignore an error like this, That would be good too. I really need to keep the menus and extras in the backup, so any method for burning this has to take that into account. This is an imported DVD, and not easily replaceable.
I know it's a lot to ask, but if there is a way to do this, I'm sure somebody here will know. Thanks.
