Hi,
I have this weird problem on one PC here used for DVD authoring:
We burn DVDs from folders containing our prepared DVD titles, stored on
USB2.0 hard drives. Now, for no apparent reason, the burn process errors out
(Error reading file: I/O error) at random. The USB2.0 drives work
fine at another similar PC in the workplace. The burn process errors occur
randomly for source folders on on-board drives too!
Transfering files to/from any USB unit we have sometimes comes up with the
same error at random.
We tried ripping our own DVDs back to the hard drive - the rip process
itself came up with CRC errors. The discs can, again, be ripped without
error on any other PC. And the discs play perfectly on regular DVD players.
Sometimes this PC cannot read DVDs created by itself - CRC errors. But they
play fine (PowerDVD) on the PC as well as on any regular DVD player. The
errors follow no pattern that can be discerned. The USB2.0 units here work
fine on any other PC for the same files!
This one is baffling in its randomness. The error only happens with DVDs. We
tried using other burning software - the inhouse authoring and burning
software is Sony DVD Architect. Roxio and Nero give the same errors, but for
completely different source files!
I shall be grateful for any pointers on where to look. The problem seems,
for now, to be associated only with DVD files and the burning process.
This PC has two DVD drive's - one a DVD-ROM and the other a DVD+R Writer.
The error in ripping our own DVD occurs on either drive, both being less
than six months old.
The I/O error occurs if we try to simply copy a (large) VOB file directly
from the DVD to the hard drive. Sometimes the process ends with a CRC error.
The error never occurs twice at the same position in copying any file on
either device.
For me, this only adds to my complete befuddlement.
Thanks a lot in anticipation.

PS: The PC has been thoroughly checked for spyware and worms and viruses -
Norton, MS Anti-Spyware, AdAware, Spybot. SFC /Scannow was completed also.
So was CHKDSK and Norton. Nothing detected at all. This PC is completely
up-to-date with all updates installed.
PPS: This is being reposted at the suggestion of a responder whoo said I
might get a better response if the heading were reworded. Thanks. This
repost includes the addenda.
