lol - u should. I love the 3 valleys because there are so may different runs in it. There are some pretty tricky runs in Courcheval (spelt wrong probably) and some great off piste skiing too. Last time i was there i went off piste and ended up in the middle of a forest with snow up to my shoulders deep. I struggled for 4 hours to get to any kind of a slope so that i could attempt to make my way down it LOL. I suppose i only have a pair of carvers (Crossmax 10's) so i made it more difficult on myself. I really cant wait to go again. My dads a lucky bugger. Flew on Concorde yesterday from New York to London in only 3 hours. He said it was amazing. Cost a fortune though because it was one of the last flights before htey are retired. Its an awful shame that :-( St Barthélémy is very nice i hear. I really wawnt to go to the maldives or the Seychelles. My girlfriend and i will honeymoon there if we ever get maried :-D
I just tried ripping and burning a DVD-9 for the first time and have had dismal failure - first I tried DVD Decrypter and it failed with an "I/O error - unrecovered read error". Then I tried SmartRipper and it bombed out with "Can't read block nnnnnn. Unlock again now and retry." (what does that mean?). Finally I gave DVD Shrink a go - 1st time it failed during the Analysing stage with "Data error - cyclic redundancy check.", then I tried a different DVD and it got through the Analysing but crashed during Encoding with "Programming error exception - reason is unknown." The movies I was trying to back up were LOTR 1 & 2. Thanks for any help.
what is your hardware? like burner product, could be just a bad disk, dirty, burner might need a clean, scratch. New a little more info.
Re my msg 21 Oct and the reply from revsitup: I'm using a brand new Pioneer A06/106 - DVD Decrypter works fine on non-copy protected DVD-5's but it's the DVD-9's where I'm having all the probs.
