About 30% of the DVDs I get know all error off with cyclical redundancy errors. I understand this is because the media is scratched....and it IS for the most part but I get still get these to play in my DVD player.
Why will they play in the DVD player but be so sensitive in the burner. Is encoding and burning a more delicate process? For my DVDs to not play they have to be REALLY scratched up.
Quite a bit of difference decyphering CRC errors between the 2.
Crc errors usually are because of defects. Scratches,dirty,and even bad presses.I've seen brand new discs that were bad presses.You can try cleaning them with toothpaste or maybe get a disc cleaner like the SkipDr.
Newer encryptions will give crc errors if using dvd shrink by its lonesome.
The dvd reading drive must be able to read all the data on a disc,in order to rip it. When it starts ripping and hits a bad sector,it'll keep cycling to try to get through that sector.After a certain amount of time,it'll give the crc error and process is stopped.
Players are more forgiving when it comes to bad sectors on discs.
Originals: You may be able to drop them off at a local video rental store that has a commercial buffer,if the following don't help:
There's more aggessive rippers that may be able to get through those damaged discs. ImgBurn and Dvd Decrypter. If encrypted,Imgburn will need another background ripper to pull off the encryption.Dvd decrypter can't pull off some of the newer encryption but is a lot more aggressive after a couple settings have been changed: Rip with brute force and Ignore all read errors need to be ticked in the settings. There's probably some other ways around it as well.
If they're backup copies: The usual damaged/dirty disc is the norm. Also,backups from low quality burners can yield crc errors despite using the highest quality of media. HP,cough-cough-LOL!

It is a valid question for this forum since scratched or dirty DVD's can be copied incorporating DVD Shrink with other programs. I have copied cracked discs with ripit4me - then either fixVTS - or VOB Blanker (or both) and then DVD Shrink and Nero 7. Also lately I have been ripping with Ripit4me - then DVD Decrypter - and I mean the old one from LightningUK - in the iso mode and burning with DVD Decrypter. I get some stuff at pawn shops that are in terrible shape - and old pre-2005. kishtar might be doing the same thing - just not enough information. Except most DVD's I get from rental are normally in pretty good shape. Benefit of the doubt goes to stuff he owns the DVD's could be from almost any source - ioffer, ebay >> you name it.
Encoding and burning Are/IS much more delicate.
