DTKK errors.

gNatalie claims she's never seen "The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky
Kid" so I dug it out the other day and it's rooted!
It won't play on any of our DVD players so I left it run on DVDdecrypter and
it's currently 19 hours and 30% through with 9340 read-errors.
Disc looks perfect but it's obviously fucked-a-mundo....... what a rip.

 

thats awful.

Thanks for the tips folks but the disc hasn't got a scratch or a mark on it!
(It's a store-bought DVD too, not a pirate)

I reckon this might be the mythical disc-rot!

 

might be the reader.

 

A few questions.
You cannot see any physical scratches on the disc? Hold it up to light
at an angle around 20 degrees to the plane of the disc.

Strangely enough, the cheapest DVD players are the best at playing
crap DVDs, so don't put it in your best DVD drive.

Tried doing a data dump then reburning the MPEG back to DVD?

OK; no spots or scratches but a sort-of "cloud"-line through one side.

I've tried it in the cheap and the fairly cheap so far. I m ight have to
take it to work to find a "good".

29000 errors and 48hours before I gave up at 6% through the 2nd VOB file.

 

I've tried 4 so far. (2 computer and two set-top)

 

In a previous incarnation, when I worked for a very large Japanese computer
manufacturer, they would warrant their optical disks for 10 years maximum.
After that, it was copy the whole shebang again.

....and these were hideously expensive systems, not cheap crappy consumer
stuff.

Ain't nuffink lasts forever.

 

OK - well looking further down, 29000 errors could come from one line
of the spin with ease.

I reckon she's fucked mate . . .

Time for Piratebay

I was thinking more along the lines of "time to write to the
manufacturer...."

 

It's in the original case. (Hopscotch Entertainment)

 

Ta mate. Pale Ale. See ya on Saturday?

Kev

 

Damn, do I have to? Oh OK . . .

Kev

 

Oh goodie. Disc delamination.

I've had that happen to too many store bought DVDs lately. They go that
way after a couple of years. So much for building up a library.

 

You should probably put those HDD platters back into the case before the
dust gets to them!


BTH

 

1000 / 9gb = 111 DVDs - not a very big library then ?

I converted all mine to Xvid to save space and plonked them all on a
single black box player. Takes a while to convert though- I'm only
2/3rds through.

I just hope the originals don't deteriorate to badly

JL

 

Err - no. I didn't make copies, assuming that the originals would last.

Mirrored hard drives, eh? Sounds like a plan.

 

I have made many copies of DVD9 movies without having to decrypt them and
get rid of the protection data
I can either put them onto a DVD9 disc or a DVD5, doesn't matter which

 

So did I!
