DVDFab v9.0.5.5 Error Reading Discs?
[QUOTE=glenns;145322]The M model of this drive is a overseas version.Pioneer has no firmware on their internet sight for the M model.The sight you used i also always use and never had a Rar file yet.I do have to ask if you downloaded the correct file should be the 4th one down says General before the model number.[/QUOTE]
That's really odd since I bought the 207M from Amazon and it came in a regular box not a white box OEM drive. I did download the correct file and as Gummigutta had suggested I used WinRar to extract the files rather than the self extractor and I did get the same files that he indicated that he got when he extracted them. However when I ran the BR207.exe it said something like "No drives detected" so it must not be the correct firmware for this drive. There was some talk about the 207M drive here: http://club.myce.com/f87/applying-proper-1-30-firmware-update-bdr-207m-330636/ and how different 207 models may use a different kernal and that there's no 1.30 update for this particular model which as I've discovered has firmware 1.21. There was a post by someone here http://club.myce.com/f61/post-new-firmware-tool-announcements-here-blu-ray-hd-dvd-drives-only-223975/index11.html giving a link to a supposed 1.30 firmware for the 207M but it goes to some bogus commercial download site and when you put in the captcha my anti-virus goes crazy warning that it's malicious so no help there.
If this is a fab problem many others would be complaining.If you use the iso inspector program as Cbr-929 told you and you still have read errors i would say its a defective disk or scratched disk it seems its happening at the start of the main movie.Because you have 3 different drives and used 3 copy's of the same disk this leads me to ask if your using store brought disks as not many people have 3 copy's of a blu ray around.Anyway if you keep returning the bad disk for a new disk and it keeps happening it appears like a bad run of disks if this is a store brought disk (3 copy's).
Doe's the disk play ok?
As CBR929 suggested, I didn't have a software Blu-Ray player hence I use Fab to remove the protection so I can play them with a regular media player or stream them to my TV (or convert them to watch on my iPad) but I downloaded and installed the trial of the DVDFab Media Player and the disc will actually start to play but somewhere around 11% the player stops and becomes unresponsive and I can't skip over that section to a later chapter as the player again becomes unresponsive. I tried starting the movie and pausing and then running VSO Inspector and this was the results up until I canceled it:

This is only the second "Scent Of A Woman" disc that I tried, it was "The Incredibles" that I gave up after four discs in a row on all three drives had read errors. (I spent more on postage sending the discs back than I did on the disc itself) There have been several posts in the forums here about people having assorted problems with Disney /Pixar movies but they were several years ago and it was mentioned that some people had these disc read issues while other people posted that they could copy without a problem.
LogMeIn is a service like GotoMyPC and it lets me access my computers from remote locations via a web browser. I generally am on top of driver updates and keep my chipset and graphics drivers fairly up to date. I'm not discounting a dirty lens but I've done other Blu-Ray copy's this week and didn't have an issue with other discs. My house is no more clean or dirty and dusty than anyone elses but I'll try a lens cleaner and see what happens.
It's going to take me some time to send this disc back and get a replacement or I'll just try and buy another new one from eBay and see what happens.
