i can do better then that i can show you, i figured out a few things here i will show people a screenshot of DVD 1 failing while sending it to the pc after awhile will be from the 1-29-09 Nassau Show what kills me is the dvd plays fine all day long no errors when you try to rip it to the pc it failed i had to repair the bad sectors only DVD 1 was affected DVD 2 had no errors more info soon..

look at the screenshot below the only time usually you will ever see the bad sectors on a dvd is when you are ripping it to the pc, i can tell you this much usually MOST people do a direct disc to disc copy if they are in a hurry for trades.

i will tell you this never ever ever do a disc to disc copy because if the dvd or dvd's did have bad sectors you personally will never know until you go to rip it to the pc and it fails, if you do a disc to disc copy then what you have done is give someone else a uncopyable coaster therefore alot of negative things will happen. hence you will most likely be called a person who rips people off or the other person you just traded with will ask you to resend.

so ALWAYS rip the dvd to the pc before you make it into a dvd for a trade or any other reason. also EVERYONE should check each dvd and make sure it is playable these are VERY important criteria alot of people do not do because they are in a hurry to do trades all the time something to think about now for the screenshot see below.

I have never in my life done a disc to disc copy, exactly for the reasons you mention.
I copy the DVD files to my HDD using DVD Decrypter, and burn them to a blank DVD with Nero (dvd-video files mode).

Cooter, you didn't understand what I was asking. I know about those CRC errors, and I know they can happen, and I know what they mean.

What I wanted to know is if DVD Decrypter ignores those errors and inserts its own dummy sectors when it, while copying the DVD to my HDD, comes across any unreadable sections of the DVD.
