trying to back up a dog grooming video for my wife. according to dvd shrink this dvd is copyguard free. I used shrink to produce an iso image and to edit out the 5 or 6 other languages on the disk, and I'm using the dvd decrypter burning engine to burn it. my nec 3520a dvd burner went belly up and I had to return it, so I bought this lite-on burner to take it's place until they sent me another new nec under warrenty. haven't had a problem with backing up any of my dvd music videos with this lite on. 1st time I've seen this error message. the burn was ok until about 10 minutes into the burn when the transfer rate went to zero and this error message popped up.
copied from the link in my sig <1>Why am I getting I/O or CRC errors while ripping my original DVD I/O Errors are NOT bugs!!!! (well, not 99.99999% of the time anyway) An I/O Error is a way of displaying a problem your drive had with the disc or your system config (mainly a disc problem though). Unrecovered read errors, Seek errors, Servo errors, Focusing errors, ECC errors, CIRC Unrecovered errors etc. are all your drives way of saying "I don't like this disc". Clean the disc, update your drives firmware (http://www.rpc1.org), try it in another drive, and get another copy.
I bought a carton of 25 of these hp dvd +r's when I bought the the lite-on. burned about 6 straight with no problems so I went back and purchased another 25 while they were on sale, and the rest of the 1st carton burned ok. this was the 1st disk in the 2nd 25. the 2nd disk was also bad. the 3rd disk burned ok but only at 1.3x and it took forever. I'm guessing that the disks from the 1st carton and 2nd carton were probably from different manufacturers. I probably should just make sure the disks are TYs from now on, no matter what the sale price on this generic crap pretending to be brand name, is. thx.
