Make a copy of a bad cd?

KevinD · 12th February 2004, 11:51

Hi!

I have burned a bunch of movies on some Prodeye CDs and now when I want to make some copies of them, it wont make an image or read it in DVDshrink.

An error appears.

The movies work fine in the DVD-player.

Do you have a solution for my problem?

Thanks.

I have the same thing happen when I try to recopy a burned DVD-R to my hard drive. I usually use a DVD reader drive to rip DVDs, but when I try to rip or copy one of my burned ones, it errors out at some time. I usually do not have trouble if I try to read it from the drive I burned it on though. Strange, because the burned DVDs play fine from the reader or the burner.

Are you having the same problem, or are you also having trouble reading from your burner?

My guess at your problem would be:-

The original burn was done either as an "overburn", or the Blank CD was slightly to small or dammaged right at the end. This has resulted in the very end of your Mpeg being trashed. As Mpegs play from the front without loading the entire file, you can watch it fine. But try and copy it and you get problems.

When this happens to me,(rarely, but often enough to have worked out a strategy) I use a piece of software called "Unstoppable Coppier"
or more fully titled
"Roadkils Unstoppable Copier version 1.41" (I dont have a URL for it, but a search should turn it up.)

This will copy the file even if damaged, it will just add 00's where data is missing. You can then re-incode / trim the video and your away.

Also I have noted in the past that Nero can copy CD's with this type of problem, it will give an error message and report a failure, but 9 times out of 10 you find the CD is usable.

Pyscrow:

Thanks a lot, but damn, it takes some time. Hobe its the time worth

Now it has standed at file 17 for one hour and it has only recovered 26% of it.

KevinD · 14th February 2004, 17:40

Hm...now it is over 24 hours that I started to recover file 17, and it has only recovered 33%.

I think I will stop the process. Its a bit too long time

Pyscrow · 14th February 2004, 21:20

24 hours, you have a lot more patience than I!

Sounds like it must be pretty badly trashed- even if you recovered it, probably most of it must be corrupted.
