[Resolved] Any DVD Ripper Error File IO 3 VTS05_1.VOB 2232879104 532480

[teq]

Hi,

(I checked the sticky note how to post issues, so I hope I got it right...)

I am currently ripping my DVD collection with AnyDVD 6.5.6.2 for future use with my SageTV HD Theater. In general this works well, however a few DVD are causing problems (i.e., AnyDVD stops the rip process with an error message).

As an example, Clockwork Orange (in an edition from German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung) gives me the following error message (see attached screenshot):

File IO 3 VTS05_1.VOB 3 2232879104 532480


I have also attached the zip archive with the AnyDVD logfile as noted in the instructions.

The interesting part is that - in an act of desperation - I downloaded a trial copy of DVDFab 6. And to my surprise it was able to rip the disk - it took an eternity to do so and DVDFab complained about some read errors, but in the end the rip was successful. (Note: The DVD is in perfectly fine condition and plays without any problem in Windows Media Player or on a standalone DVD player.)

What does the AnyDVD error message mean? Any suggestions how to solve this?

Thanks,
teq

You could think about a firmware upgrade.

AI scan forced, heuristic scan detected no protection!

Press the 'default' button on AnyDVD and try again.

Thank you for your immediate reply. I checked, but I don't seem to be able to find an update for my model (TS-H653ATI01).

Disc and/or drive is dirty/bad.

That's an OEM Samsung drive, with firmware version T101. Contact your computer vendor (which is your official source for firmware updates) to see if a firmware update is available.

fab can skip over read errors, and in such an instance, your backup is missing material (imperfect backup), even if it's an incredibly small amount of material.

File IO3 is a read error typically indicating a defective disc.


So as James says . . .

These are your options:

A. The original disc is bad even if it plays fine. Exchange it.

B. The disc is dirty. Clean it.

C. Your drive is slowly dying. Try a different drive.

D. The cable on the back of your drive is bad. Exchange it.

Thanks a lot for your replies. OK - so I'll try again using a different DVD drive (I still have two external drives somewhere around the house). BTW, is there any brand of DVD drives that you recommend that delivers the best results?

Regarding option A., that's almost like a copy protection, right? Plays well in Media Player/on external DVD players, but won't copy... :doh:

Thanks,

Solved!

Wow - what a difference a quality drive can make. My external Freecom drive was able to read these DVDs without a hitch. 8)

Sorry for having bothered you with this. I should have tried it myself before posting. But I wasn't aware that there's such a difference between drives, and I had tried my two internal drives before (and both had failed).

Thanks again,

That error pointed you in the right direction and as a drive ages the ability to read non-perfect discs decreases. This is a curving failure, to mean it slowly creeps up on you and as Windows retries more often you may notice "reads" are taking longer and some will fail altogether.

See this for some user input regarding hardware:

No. Simply because a disc plays fine doesn't mean it is fine. Many discs can play fine but can still be defective: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=11981

Either your the drive you used originally is dying--or it's a poor reader of borderline defective discs. I'm glad you resolved your issue.
