Copy of a copy

I bought a backup copy of CoD4 that plays around 50% then gets "the disc is dirty or damaged" error. In reality it is most likely a bad burn or cheap disc. I haven't got the original ISO but want to make another copy of CoD4. Is it worth me ripping the faulty CoD4 back onto my PC then burning it again? Or will the same error occur? I ask this as back in the ps2 days I would frequently buy games that would conk out or not work at all, but if I copied the faulty one onto my PC then burned it slowly it would work 100%. Has anyone ever done this and if so what are the results?

Should be fine as long as the original image and burn was good. Run the disc itself through ABGX to check it out. If it checks out, rip the disc to ISO and run that again through ABGX. If it works, great...now burn it to a decent DVDR. You could check it through ABGX yet again if you really want to be safe.

as it is already a copy can I simply put the disc in my PC and rip an image to the hard drive using ImgBurn? or do I have to follow the same procedures as ripping a retail copy.

Yep, your logic is solid. ImgBurn is fine for copying a copy.

All of my post are merely of an academic nature and should not be taken as fact or intent, but rather an exercise in the hypothetical.

How do I run the disc through ABGX? My PC recognises it but I can't drag the disc icon into the filename path in ABGX. When I open the game files it has Audio TS and Video TS files. What needs to go through ABGX?

Sorted it, I just went ahead and made an image of the game then ran the image through ABGX. It noticed that something wasn't right and sorted it out, burned it fine in Imgburn and now the game doesn't crash so looks to have sorted it. Must go through my collection and re-burn all of the other faulty copies I foolishly spent money on. Thanks for the advice people!
