Read Error Copying "The Maxx" Disc 2

[tillig]

I recently picked up "The Maxx" from Amazon, a two-disc set. I had no problem in backing up the first disc, but the second disc either causes HD Decrypter to hang (UI becomes unresponsive and stops refreshing) or, if I can get past that, tons of read errors pop up.

I tried both enabling and disabling PathPlayer. When PathPlayer was enabled, the UI would hang during the initial analysis phase, before I could even start the copy process. When PathPlayer was disabled, I could get past the initial analysis but about 30% into the copy read errors would pop up and eventually I got "Task_1 failed! Error=102()"

On the Amazon page it says "This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media... This disc is expected to play back in DVD Video "play only" devices, and may not play in other DVD devices, including recorders and PC drives." I don't know if HD Decrypter can get around those sorts of issues or not, but I think that's the majority of my problem.

I've tried in two different computers, both with the same result.

Your getting a read error for the DVD. That means it a bad disc and not able to copy. Does it play with no problems? I ask because the amount of errors you say that pop up would mean the disc is defictive and will not play properly if watched on DVD Player.

You also said theya re made on Demand using DVD-r discs. That means that they keep one original DVD and make copies to sell so check the playing side of your DVD and see if it is purple. If it purple then it a copy and not original pressed DVD as originals are silver on the playing side

It plays fine in a standard, non-computer DVD player, so the disc isn't defective. Works great in my PS3 too.

You are right in that the disc is purple, and, thus, a copy. Can HD Decrypter not handle those sorts of discs? I haven't ever encountered them before so I've never run into this issue.

If this is one of the studio "classic" releases, they are on DVDRs. Lots of people have had playability problems with them. The volume name ("DVDVIDEO") is unusual.

//EDIT// This is from the amazon page:

This disc is expected to play back in DVD Video "play only" devices, and may not play in other DVD devices, including recorders and PC drives.

I think they will need to see an actual copy of this to fix it, but you should let it analyze and then click on the Send Info files button on the info page. Include a link to this thread in the comments area at the bottom.
