When emphasis is put on doing the read scan, it should be obvious it's something needed to quickly diagnose the problem. It's not as though it's something difficult to do. Must be noob thinking, "only do what I want to".

I realize that transcoders can "balk" when the read rate slows down, which some copyright protection and some poor quality (damaged?) discs can cause. Getting the files on the HD where they can be read smoothly by the recording software makes the process move along more smoothly. There's no disagreement that DVD Decrypter is good for ripping files to the HD. It's sort of a matter of preference how it's used sometimes. As I mentioned, I use AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter most of the time, I need as well as like using HD files. Ever try to encode a DVD with RB/CCE from an optical drive using AnyDVD? Think almost forever on that one.
I've just never needed to use DVD Decrypter in the copy process of already processed files, such as those on a DVD backup. If I feel the need for retrieving files from a difficult disc, then there's always the rescue software which is superior to DVD Decrypter for that purpose. As far as discs with errors, I've had occasion when AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter wouldn't read them. The read errors would stop the read process. Even setting to ignore errors, the program would still stall out on a large block of errors. In some cases the data is no longer there, in which case nothing is going to read it. Some rescue software can bypass the damage and get all the available data. I opt for a new copy when things like that happen.
