Someone had asked me this but since I don't work with CD/DVD all that much. Any suggestions guys?

Thanks for any input!

Hi,

Yes, but what is the use of getting the movie off the DVD? Why not burning it again?

Pepe:

I am not sure what kind of data was recorded. The word "video" was mentioned. But let's just say that data was recorded improperly to the DVD and there's not copy anywhere else. Is there a way to read this info?

Try CD/DVD Diagnostic (Infinadyne, previously Arrowkey). I used it successfully in the past to recover data from CD-R's.

This is what i have done:

I took a DVD of size at least the damaged,
disassembled the DVD drive,
put the good one in the tray, closed it, waited until it stopped,
then took it out WITHOUT opening the tray
put the damaged one in
and made an image of it.
The problem was that the disc was written in such a way that there were sectors greater than ~197000 containing all zeroes due to some error during writing. But at least I was able to read them, cause normally every program showed only this ~197000 sectors capacity.

You can spin down an IDE or SCSI CD drive by using SHIFT+F4 in MHDD.

Hi, Dmitry,

Yes, but it is far better to read in Windows (I use XP) where MHDD will not work, am I right? So I wait one minute and it stops automaticaly

Oh, yeah
Btw, then you can use Nero drive speed to change 1 minute to 5-10 seconds.

Thanks for all the great tips guys!
Much is appreciated.
