imgburn is a bit slow with bad sectors like 1 sec per bad sector

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.

Is there any way to spend less time to determine that a sector is bad?

 

TIA

Play around with the hardware read error retries option. The time taken to report a read error is down to the hardware, not ImgBurn.

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?

Sorry, I have no experience of such things.
