"Failed to read Sector xxxxxx - CIRC Unrecovered Error" - that's what DVDDecryptor 3.1.1.0 says.
Can we recover such error? What means CIRC?

If you hit 'Retry' enough times, yes, it is possible.

BTW, found this on a website somewhere:

CIRC (Cross Interleaved Read-Solomon Code) adds two dimensional parity information, to correct errors, and also interleaves the data on the disc to protect from burst errors. CIRC corrects error bursts up to 3,500 bits (2.4 mm in length) and compensates for error bursts up to 12,000 bits (8.5 mm) such as caused by minor scratches. CD-ROM discs generally have extra error protection.

I hit the retry about 50 times, it still produces the CIRC Unrecovered Error, if I skip it, what kind of problem would it cause?

Would the problem be un-noticeable, if is only a few skips through out the whole ripping process? What if they are consecutive skips?
