First "Farewell My Concubine"
Then "Bordertown" Disk 1
Now "Abba: Super Troupers"
I've been fighting like a tornado for more than a week. I have tried *everything* that has been suggested in all of these threads, and followed the instructions precisely, and then tried every variant I could imagine. I cannot back up these disks.
In cynthia's PSL tutorial - - -

- - - I see these two types of error messages:
W 06:02:09 Failed to read Sector 256329 - CIRC Unrecovered Error
W 19:55:47 Failed to read Sector 257117 - No Seek Complete
Mine have always been this:
W 23:27:11 Failed to read Sector 3689801 - Logical Block Address out of Range
I always get "Logical Block Address out of Range" instead of "CIRC Unrecovered Error" or "No Seek Complete". I have never gotten either of those two. But in the PSL tutorial, nowhere do I see "Logical Block Address out of Range" mentioned.
All of these disks play perfectly in external DVD players but will not play or rip in either of my PC drives. Both drives are Lite-On brand, and both came with this machine new a couple months ago.
The thing about Abba is, the error doesn't happen until well into the closing credits. What's the point? At least with FMC and Bordertown, the errors ruined the feature. Here it can be ignored, except for the abrupt end to the credits. This makes me think it may not be copy protection but rather just a read error, a weak drive. It's always near the very end of the very last vob cell, always on a double layer disk. When the head gets closest to the outer rim? Who knows, but it feels that way.
Anybody got any advice?
