Never heard of this failure, here is the iso log report.

This error would indicate a hardware problem with your drive.

Also, I suppose you have been told before that your MATSHITA drive is just that?

[Ozzie]

No need to insult my drive! It has been the not reliable drive I have ever owned, plus one of the easiest to get updates for via the Sony web site.

Now back to this error, I just backed up Avatar with no issue, but this one I can,t even do from an iso file. Same error message is what I get no matter what.

Sorry to be bearer of bad news but that drive is known to have problems for a longtime now and there have been many post about this drive in another forum

[Ozzie]

Maybe so, but if you could only see the number of succesful back ups this wonderful drive has provided you might change your mind.

Only other thing I can suggest for older movies is to turn off Pathplayer.
