I'm trying to copy a disc right now...but for some reason the DVD has bad sectors on it that the program can't read (the disc is completely pristine), and it keeps freezing at about 50%. It stutters during playback in my DVD player as well.
I've had DVD Decrypter working on it for about 23 hours now, it's up to 51% with 5671 read errors.

 

23 hours

 

yea exactly, especially when you play it on a TV. I even converted a screener to a dvd and it looks really nice on the TV...

for a DVD, it takes me around 50 minutes for a already burnt one, more like 20 minutes.

 

That's because it'll try to read the bad sector, then retry it, then it will move on to the next one. It's had to do this for 5743 sectors so far. It was previously set to retry each read error 20 times before ignoring it...now that would've taken forever.

 

Finally finished decrypting! :awais:

took ~27 minutes for the whole DVD shrink process.

 

w00t, yea i did dvd decrypter and there was no point in using that program other than burning.

 

what's good for ripping a dvd to cd?

too cheap for a dvd burner yet

 

No.

 

you can buy the exact same burner as I have for 62 bucks at newegg right now.

Man... encoding video files to DVD sure as fawk takes a long time, though. Took over an hour to encode 4 episodes of FLCL from avi to dvd format.

 

Flcl?
