Hi guys, I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find something that dealt with my question exactly, if there is a thread out there and I missed it, if someone could point me to it, that'd be great.

I just got myself a Plextor PX-716AL(Preview Drive) and was Going through my sisters DVD collection(She's at college, and I lost more than a few DVD's when I was in college), and making copies for her to take instead of all those dvd cases and stuff.

I noticed that next to the errors label in DVD Decrypter, that there's a number in parantheses that list the amount of retries. I've had a few disks where there were numerous retiries, but zero errors.

Is Having a high number of retries a bad thing, or is it just there to scare me?

It isn't there to scare you. Retries are Decrypter's way of trying to keep a concise data stream. The most likely reason for the read retries is that the discs are in some way damaged forcing Decrypter to "blink", so to speak, and to repeat the attempt to resolve the informaion it seeks because it was not recorded in the manner the programmer (long live Lightning UK!) wanted. Additionally, some of the newer discs have a encryption which includes "dummy" information which causes Decrypter to re-read the data stream until it reaches the end of the dummy sectors. For this reason it is a good idea to go into the settings and set Read Retries to 2 or 3, or even zero.
