[Terje_P]

Anyone know about any known good optical drives that are able skip bad sectors fast? Mine dont appear to be.

When it hits a bad sector, it stalls at 0.1x when dumping VOB Protect CDs with Alcohol 52%.

Even with the fast error skip option enabled.

Other sub-question: keep using a cdrom player to dump discs without fast error skipping can lead to premature destruction of drive motor?

One of the reviews I found for that one complained about burning issues.

a review from a dimwit that uses nero on shady media , i never had a issue ... never use nero , its given to anything since Liteon gets money from it aka paid advert ... Nero was good when they wanted to bring AVC to home media (H264 Mp4) before anyone else ...and push the DVD\HD DVD\BD burning\viewing of movies ... but now ,meh

So now you will check the video footage again ... Ebau108 from Liteon like any other external burner is a External Plastic Enclosure Case with a Laptop Burner Inside ... its made for burn speeds of 8x max (for perfect burns you write in 4x speed anyways CD\DVD), you can go above but them you have to use the rubber STICKY FEET on a STEADY TABLE SURFACE (not on a SLIPPERY PC CASE) ...or place on top this drive something heavy since the drive will vibrate and move (ALL EXTERNAL DRIVES HAVE THIS thats why they are in something heavy) ... if you ask what about the reading speeds , they never vibrated the drive ... only in some cases if the disc had heavy scratches

and if they drive will vibrate and move of course the burn will fail

other then that you can also get Liteon iHAS524B thats the burner that can only and only do perfect clones of XBOX360 games when you had to Overburn DVD9 ... you can never go wrong with a Liteon Burner they dump all with a ease and burn all CP with ease ...

Do you know if the Liteon IHAS122-14 have fast error skip?

The only Liteon model I could find locally aside from that USB optical drive, dont want to feed ebay scalpers..

if you want to go cheap LG drives can also error-skip but they are crappy cheap and don't last for long ... Liteon burners are ok http://www.liteonodd.com/en/dvd-interna ... as124.html they called it Smart-X

dunno about this model , but there where some issues with some previous Ihas ... not in the dumping\burning department for consoles like Wii\Xbox360 but well ehm ... but those drives could be loud like WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR since they can custom re-write itself to get 1:1 burns\dumps .. and sometimes ... they go JET PLANE x90 LOUD for 3min ... sometimes

Got the drive I ordered now.

I have now enabled the bad sector scanning feauture in alcohol 120% and set it to factor 100 which is the default.
It may still not support fast error skip as I though it would do, but at least it dont take half a day now.

That is a good enough solution for now, probably should have bought the one Hfric suggested. A safedisc protected game I had got copied without any issues though.
