Could you recommend a specific reliable DVD Drive to test it? I am willing to buy one, so I may save some more discs.

I am also convinced that it is a fault of the DVD drive. It can't be, that ALL my DVD9 are bad directly after the layer break. On the other side more than 50% of the DVD5 are OK. Unfortunately I can't test the discs on a standalone player right now. I may test them on another PC, if I find one with a DVD drive nowadays

Thanks for the reply. I updated the firmware, that didn't affect anything. My DVDs are mainly Intenso by the way. Are they the same as Ricoh? I came to the conclusion, that my DVDs are corrupted. It has been 10 years, since I burned them. Some DVD5 are also bad. I tried Recuva (doesn't support DL for some reason) to recover some of them. The problem is, that the movie is playable up to a certain point. So that doesn't help much. Are there better programs that do a better job or should I forget those DVDs that cannot be read or copied?

Hello, I am new here but I am an experienced user. I recently wanted to copy some movies from DVDs back to my HD. Following problem: all my dual-layer DVDs stop at about 46-50% during the copy process. That means there is the problem with the 2nd layer. After checking the device properties with imgburn (all DL-discs are enabled) I still can't get pass the 50%. You can find as attachment my error message and the log file. Any workaround for this? Is the dvd drive the problem? ImgBurn.log
