Disc Read Error

[ozzyrulez420]

Today I was trying to watch a burnt movie (I did not burn it) when it decided to quit. wondering if it was a problem with the disc or my drive I decided to verify the disc in ImgBurn. At approximately 30% I receive a "No Seek Complete" error.

From there I searched for the error on the forums and found people receiving the same error, but only when burning. I tried the disc in my laptop and it worked wonderfully. My question is what causes this error when reading a disc?

I 13:20:12 ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0 started!

I 13:20:12 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

My question is what causes this error when reading a disc?

 

E 13:25:08 Failed to Read Sector 720944 - Reason: No Seek Complete

E 13:25:08 Sector 720944 maps to File: \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_2.VOB

 

basically the drive your using cannot read the disc, which is why some drives will verify and others wont

OR

the disc is dirty and the drive cannot read the disc, but another drive may be able to read it without problem. compare it to people who need reading glasses and those who dont

 

Its all about how good the paticular drive is at reading the type of disc. by type i mean the quality of the ink/dye on the disc
