My friend in Canada made a home video and authored it to dvd and made me an ISO image out of it. He sent me it via FTP as 1 file and I think some CRC errors came with it because 39 min into it, it freezes. I've tried 3 different software dvd players, and 2 hardware dvd players. Some freeze up a few seconds before, some after. Could an error in the image itself cause this? If there are errors in the dvd, are there any free software tools that can scan through and correct it? I have no problem with ripping it back to my hard drive, and running some app on it that can fix it.

Have you tried extracting the files by using either ISOBuster or mounting with DaemonTools - so that you can possibly determine exactly where the trouble is?

It all started when I tried to watch the video by initially mounting the image via Daemon Tools and using MPC. Then I tried ZoomPlayer Pro using the NVidia PureVideo Decoder, then I tried using WinDVD Pro, then I tried a Sony and an APEX dvd player. They all failed at different times, but they were all very close in terms of where they stopped at. I think I'll rip the dvd to my hard drive, make a .d2v file for it, and load a script into Vdub and see if I can seek/scroll through the part where it stops playing.
