Nero Recode Error

[Rob67]

Same problem here

I am also getting the original "Read" error with Recode. This only started happening since I did a clean install of my system. I did a clean XP install with Nero 7 Ultra. Have the latest version and now I can't recode a disc. Frustrating. I have tried two different ones so far.

Recently I have been having problems using Nero Recode. I get the following error messege as soon as Recode starts to encode....

failed to read from the file %s.

The above error message i believe to be because the disc you are trying to backup is scratched or damaged in some way i tryed to back up my original of tombstone which is quite an old film the other day and the disc is a bit on the scratched side i got the same error message as above while trying to use recode on the disc so i tried the same disc with shrink now shrink gave an error message as well after giving it another couple of goes with shrink it got to the part of the film that was a problem and spent a goo3 or 4 mins trying to get past the damaged bit on the disc and eventually got passed it so i was able to back it up

After a few more tests, I have to agree with your analysis. I tried a brand new Spaceballs SE disk and it worked perfectly throught the rip phases. The problems I have been having were with some older films that did, indeed have some scratches. I found it odd because I could play them fine in the same drive. Food for thought with those having this problem. Try a brand new disk.
