ralphza Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 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.W 05:04:17 Failed to Read Sector 214581 - Reason: Unrecovered Read ErrorW 05:04:17 Sector 214581 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOBW 05:04:26 Failed to Read Sector 214582 - Reason: Unrecovered Read ErrorW 05:04:26 Sector 214582 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOBW 05:04:34 Failed to Read Sector 214583 - Reason: Unrecovered Read ErrorW 05:04:35 Sector 214583 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOBW 05:04:43 Failed to Read Sector 214584 - Reason: Unrecovered Read ErrorW 05:04:44 Sector 214584 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOBW 05:04:52 Failed to Read Sector 214585 - Reason: Unrecovered Read ErrorW 05:04:52 Sector 214585 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB Is there any way to spend less time to determine that a sector is bad?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Play around with the hardware read error retries option. The time taken to report a read error is down to the hardware, not ImgBurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphza Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 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?
