CRC Error

[Guest]

Folks:



I am trying to copy a large (1 Gig) file from a DVD to my hard drive.

First I tried Windows Explorer. About 90% into the copying process up
jumps an error message:

<< Cannot copy filename.VOB: Data Error (Cyclic
Redundancy Check) >>


Next I tried XCOPY /V /C and ran into the same problem: File Creation
Error -
Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)


* Can someone throw some light on this issue


PS I have cleaned the DVD thoroughly. No dust or dirt, etc.
Also, I can play this file using Real Player




Thanks,
Jo.

First thing to try is changing the ribbon cable on the optical drive.

This will also depend on the DVD you are trying to copy. Some DVD
manufacturers are now intentionally putting a "corrupted" (that's where the
CRC, cyclic redundancy check, error comes from) file on the DVD to prevent
copying. I have only run into a couple of these so far and it prevents
normal DVD copy or ripping software from working on the disks. These disks
are not mainstream products but specialty products that I have purchased.

Hi Jo!
I copy alot of movies and at times I get the crc error, I see that you
have cleaned the disc that helps quite often, I also found this to work
(sometimes),clean the disc with warm water and a liquid soap but rise it in
"cold water" crc errors are cause by
corrupted files or a very small crack in the disc with doesn't interfer with
normal playback the cold water will constrict the crack, hopefully until
your copy program reads past the problem.
Good Luck!
