Hi,
From my recent experience i have compiled this Guide to help you with backingup DVDs that were badily pressed at the time of manufacturing.
HOW TO TELL IF A DISC IS A BADILY PRESSED DISC:
-There are no Major scratches on a disc. But...
-The disc has lots of "Cyclic redundency errors" when you try to rip to Hard Drive.
-More than 1 sector of error in a chain.
-Basically: A good physical Disc but a lot of errors.
-Still playable on standalone DVD Player.
WHen you see these signs, you probabaly have gotten a Badily Pressed Disc. And exchangeing it will probabaily not solve teh issue as millions of DVDs of the same title are pressed with the same faulty Die.
WHAT TO DO:
Ok so what the hell do you do with these discs?
Tools: DVD Decryptor and any burning software.
1. Open DVD Decryptor
2. Click TOOTL>SETINGS>I/O Tab> and under options, set "software read retires" to 0 and check the "ignore read error" check box. OR select retries to 1 or 2 times and do not check the "ignore read error" check box. IMPORTANT NOTE: Doing this will increase Copying time dramatically.Click Ok
3. Load the faulty DVD and Click the DVDtoHDD Icon.
4. Chances are only a slight spot of certian .VOBs were badily pressed so when you get to a .VOB and the read speed goes to 0.00KB with the remaining time as UNKNOWN, and that you receive error messages for example:"W 12:26:11 Failed to read Sector 1207824 - No Seek Complete" Here you know you are in the badily pressed zone.
5. If after 20+ sectors and still errroring, click the red stop button and click skip file, but deleted the .VOB that has the errors.
6. Go through and finsished ripping all of the good .VOBs. Close DVD Decryptor.
7. OPen DVD Decryptor again. and with the same disc in the drive hit the DVDtoHDD button to start.
8. Click NOtoALL when it propts you to replace.
9. This time, when it runs into the badily pressed .VOBs just let it error out untill it mnake it through the badily presses sectors. NOTES THIS MAY TAKE UP TO 20+hrs depending on how much is badily pressed.
10. When it's all done, using your burning software to burn.
Now you have burned a 1 to 1 copy of an errored disc with it's errors and all.
NOTE: the guide above is the brute fore way of attacking and burning discs which were baily pressed. This proccess my damage you DVD drive depending on the hrs it takes. But chances are slight that it will.
Good Luck,
j
