File skipping during media read

[MCbx]

First, thanks for this software! It's the only one which makes good image files with my cheap DVD drive (commercial ones don't inform me about read errors - just giving damaged files without warning!).

I'm using ImgBurn to create ISO images from my collection of computer magazine CDs. Some of them are from 1994, so they aren't in good condition.

Sometimes, during image creation, I'm getting message about bad sectors (totally irrecoverable - even with retries) - normal thing on these old CDs. If all methods of recovery (cleaning, polishing, etc) fail, I'm looking for the same file (name, size, date, function) on the Internet. If I find it, I must skip all bad sectors (and after it replace file in ISO), which takes much, much time - sometimes even a few hours for a CD.

Suggested option should use the data, which, I think, is collected to get name of file in which read error has occurred (as I read somewhere in Forum it's done during parsing FS). It should skip reading of all sectors associated to file in which read error occurred, replacing them by zeros or something like that. The "skip file" button may be displayed in bad sector warning window. But enabling of this button should be put quite deep in Options, because some unaware users may create bad ISO files.

One more time thanks for this program!

 

P.S. Sorry for my English.
