I think someone needs to keep the info straight. I have a skip doctor and know what it's used for. Plus you admit you have bad ones. Jerking us around helps nothing.
Did you run ScanDisc? If so, what were the results? If not, what are you waiting for? It will either confirm or eliminate the DVDs as the problem. If the surface is bad enough to run "on the bad ones", they're definitely a possibility for causing the cyclic redundancy error. With AnyDVD running and DVD Decrypter reading and running the log, does the read speed drop to 0 and the log start showing read errors?
You may have missed one of my questions - do the discs hang up at about the same place each time? Consistently hanging up at the same place is a dead give away it's the disc.
These are legit factory copies and not bootlegs right? Not looking to bust you - just wondering because even pressed bootlegs can be problematic.

I'd go over and run the Read Test in Nero's CD-DVD Speed ScanDisc utility, but I don't think xian2006 could afford my house call charge. Just the bill for food and drink would break most folks. I can't afford myself. LOL I agree with you, it's looking like a bad disc.

It's only a partial scan, but a lined up batch of bad sectors is enough to show the problem. A full scan with a bunch of bad sectors can take a long time. If the scan stalls, you can imagine what it's doing to Shrink or any other recording software. That is a scratched disc. A factory DVD with a bad press will do the same, except there is no visible damage.
slab,
If it fails using DVDFAB Dec. then the DVD is a bad mastering press and you will have to exchange it for another. You can try cleaning it real well and if that still does not help then exchange it for another

This disc is mint as can be.
trying latest dvdfab now and it is slow as can be. don't think it is going to make it.
As Car.Mike pointed out, it sounds like a flawed press. If you have the software to do a read scan like the one above, it will point out bad sectors which cause the problem. DVDInfoPro, a freeware program, has the utiility to do the scan. I suggest anyone who is going to be doing backups learn to do the scans. Odds are at one time or another a flawed press will be encountered. The disc looks perfect, but the inner dye layer has tiny imperfections (bad sectors) in the pressed (readable) surface.
That can happen. A new disc will play in a player but won't record. That's why I suggest doing the scan, to see if there are bad sectors that will prevent recording. The players are a lot more forgiving than the recording software.
