So I have to wonder about these PIEs and PIFs I see in a DVD quality test such as Nero Speed. Just what am I seeing when I test a disk? Are those PIEs fully correctable? What happens to when playing a disk that has sustained spikes of over 280 PIE or sustained spikes of PIFs over 4? Is data interpolated? Or is there a momentary glitch?
I have a disk with a high PIE score. I don't feel like going though the encoding process again. I know it's supposed to be OK.... that we might find problems when a disk has sustained spikes of over 280 PIE or sustained spikes of PIFs over 4. So can I assume all the data is being perfectly reconstructed?
That leads me to my next question: Can a copy of a disk ever be made that will have LESS errors than the original? Or are the errors cumulative?
Or does it matter how it's being copied... say if it goes though Shrink... the errors are corrected but that might not happen if it were copied as a data disk?
