I am trying to back up a dvd that it is a little too late for. There is about a two minute section of the movie that will not play. When viewing the original it is easy enough to skip to the next scene and then rewind to after the error. I tried using DvdShrink and it gets the cyclic redundancy error at that part. I tried using DvdDecrytper with the same result, I even tried again with the I/O setting of ignore read errors, but it just tried over and over again to read it. After all of this I tried toothpaste, yes I was desperate. It seemed to take some of the medium range deep scratches down to only being superficial looking. But still... that one scene gets the error. I wouldn't mind re-authoring and clipping the scene out at all, but in order to do that Shrink needs a full read or so it would seem. I have given up on fixing the scratch, I would just like to circumvent it, any ideas on the best ways to do this? ---Minty Hands Pete
theres a tool or repair kit called "DVDDR cd & dvd repair device" you can get it anyware for $30 bucks. Theres also home remedies but I don't know them. [bold]WHERES SCUBAPETE, he knows!![/bold] Or try this site http://solidlabs.com/dvd/badcdrepairpro/
I tried the trial thing on the link and it had an error reading the file (isn't that the point? haha)
geestar20 There was nothing wrong with your advice, I use DVDDR and I've successfully repaired numerous discs. One can't guarantee that it will fix a gouge but I've repaired some severly scratced DVDs with it. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
