is there any particular external dvd drive that you know of that I can get that is very quick when it comes to bad sectors? e.g. that could rip a dvd full of bad sectors, within an hour? (by determining very quickly that a sector is bad and very quickly moving to the next one) Like 500+ bad sectors a second, rather than 1 bad sector second?

imgburn handles bad sectors, it can log an error and continue, but it is slow with bad sectors, if it takes 1 second on a bad sector and there are loads of bad sectors then it could take ages.
