i used to be able to copy dvds easily. now i can't. this error keeps coming up: i/o error, interpretation: check condition, unrecoverable read error. far out why is this happening? how else can i easily copy dvds (copyright protected ones)?
Hi, I personally use ANYDVD from slysoft, with 321 xcopy. The AnyDVD has help copy every copy protected I've seen. I'm sure this will work with your favorite DVD copying software. Good Luck. P.S. Have you tried reinstalling your dvd decrypter? _X_X_X_X_X_[small]J_Holmes It's Amazing The Difference A Day Makes.. My website: http://www.geocities.com/fatherfogerty/[/small]
That means your drive cant read the disc. Try cleaning them, reading in another drive or getting another copy of the disc.
angelo3, Read errors could mean, as LIGHT_UK stated, dirty discs or it could be the new copy protection they are now using on DVD's. There seems to be a growing trend to prevent DVD backup by using unreadable sectors or hard copy read errors. There are however ways to circumvent this method. One is to use a slower read, even at 1x, if your DVD-ROM drive won't do it, try using your burner to read it. Another way is there are settings in decrypter to make your rip more aggressive if it won't work with default settings. here are a few as posted by my good buddy Pete: DVD Decrypter(free, if you don't have it) can handle even the toughest of encryptions - Don't ever give up on DVD Decrypter, try the following little "adjustments" - Step 1. In DVD Decrypter, go to "Tools", "Settings", and then whatever you're using either the File Mode tab OR the ISO Read Mode tab and "tick" "Remove PUO's" - try either the IFO, BUP, PUO's OR the VOB PUO's Step 2. In DVD Decrypter, go to "Tools", "Settings", General tab, on the bottom left it will say "Removal Method" choose "Aggressive". Step 3. in DVD Decrypter, go to "Tools", "Settings" then choose the CSS tab, under CSS Cracking Method, mark the spot that says "Brute Force -> I/O Exchange". Finally AnyDvd, as j_holmes suggested, has a new setting called "copy protection based on unreadable sectors", check this box when encountering such errors. AnyDvd has a free 21 day trial, then it costs 39.00/. It is well worth the price as it runs in the background completely on automatic with nothing to operate. It also works for burning on the fly without writing to the HD 1st.. Use any or all or a combination of these means will usually get around the problem, good luck.....:>). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _X_X_X_X_X_[small][bold]GO VOLS![/bold].Dell Media4600,XP,Pentium 4 @2.80GHz/800Mz,1024MB,280HDw/8MB,17"flat panel,AIO-A920,8xDVD-ROM,integrated5.1 audio,HPdc4000,PlextorPX-708UF,LiteOn832S-DL[/small]
