I tried yet ANOTHER drive and it finally worked. Thanks guys!

I upgraded the firmware, here's the disc info: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A 1-04 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,297,888 Size: 4,706,074,624 bytes Time: 510:40:38 (MM:SS:FF) TOC Information: Session 1...

I guess so, how do I check? I installed AnyDVD and tried again, but I got the same seek errors. Here's what DVDInfoPro gives me when I do an error scan:

Hi guys, I've recently ordered 2 Karate instructional DVDs, they came in great condition (DVDs were sealed). I wanted to make sure that they stay that way, so I decided to back them up. I've never backuped up DVDs before, so maybe this might be a n00b question that had been answered before. I'm getting Read errors at around 66% on both DVDs when I try to create an image file with ImgBurn, but the DVDs play just fine in my media player. Am I doing something wrong, or are these DVDs screwed and I should get a replacement? I've tried it on two different computers with two drives, here are the errors: Thanks!
