I'm At A Loss...someone Help

[tomace3914]

Ok, I have been copying dvds for a while now, and have never run into a problem until today. I have 50 or so burned dvds that all work perfect in most any set top player. Recently someone asked for a copy of a few of my dvds. I told them I would and proceeded to copy my burned dvds. However, no matter which of my burned dvds I try to rip, the ripper stalls and is unable to rip the entire movie to my hard drive. I know that there is nothing wrong with the my burned dvds because they work fine in any dvd player, I just don't know why the rippers can't handle them. Perhaps it is because I am trying to make a copy of a copy. Any answers or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to reinstall your ripper? What exactly is the error? Is the program hanging, aborting? Need a little more info.

The program is hanging at the same point everytime. IT says that there is a read error , but it happens with every burned dvd I have that I try to rip tp my hard drive. I think it is because my ripped dvds are not encrypted like the store bought ones I copied them from. But even when I try simply copying and pasting the files on the dvd, it hangs at a certain point.

I have a picture of the error I am getting if that helps; put your email up and I can send it to you if you would like.

Just paste the error details here.
On most OS's, when the I/O Error box comes up, you can press CTRL+C to copy its contents to the clipboard. Then all you have to do is paste them into your next post.

Here is the I/O Error.


I/O Error!
Device: [1:0:0] QSI DVD/CDRW SBW-081 NH02 (D:)

No Seek Complete means your drive cant focus on the requested sector.
This is typical of the cheaper media. Are you reading it in your burner or a normal dvdrom? Try both!

Being able to play the disc in a standalone means nothing. They are built to read rental dvds...and we all know how scratched up they can get! pc drives are built for accuracy, hence the reason its erroring out. Where that standalone just sees the error and goes 'oh well, nevermind!', the pc drive say 'OMG! An error! I cant possibly go on!'.

I've tried it in both my dvd burner and dvdrom; and I have the same problem. I understand a way to fix this in the future is to buy better media, but is there anyway for me to get the discs that are shwoing errors on my computer.

[tomace3914]

Also, I understand that cheap media is most likely the problem. But if that is the case, why am I able to play the DVDs at the problem areas using Power DVD? It is only when I try and rip them or copy them to my hard drive that the computer stalls.

Its probably not reading that section of the disc.
Try the various 'modes' of DVD Decrypter. One of them might work!
If you rip in file mode, see how many files you can get and work around the error prone region. Keep hitting retry too, eventually it may work.
