I have a Sony DVD burner for my computer that is not working properly. It still burns CD's and DVD's and reads CD's but it won't read burnt DVD's. It will occasionally read commercially produced DVD's. When I try to burn a DVD it comes up with a ton of read errors on the verification but when I play in my DVD player, such as a movie, or in a seperate computers DVD player it works just fine. Thanks

here is my question so i can help you.. are you trying to copy a DVD... well not illegally.. but like copy another DVD... the reason for receiving errors maybe because of the encryption of the master copy... the best thing is to find a decryptor.. so you can copy them as a dvd format.. its not the DVD that has the problem... your just in need of more software... try to find a software called DVD shrink... i used it when we made a school movie production back in highschool... just so i could make copies.. because i accidentally encrypted the master copy..

goodluck.. hope it helps..

I can copy DVD's, such as movies, but I still get the same errors during the verification process but it plays fine in my home DVD player. I have this problem even if I am doing my own home movies to a DVD or data to a DVD but not when I copy it to a CD. Might just be the burner goin bad but I have not even had it a year. Thought I would try to get a second opinion. You are right though, DVD Shrink is a good piece of software but you ought to try 1Click DVD, it shrinks and burns in one process. Thanks for your post.

1Click is the software I use, but you know it only controls the content you choose to copy, don't you? You still need separate software to decrypt the original. I use DVD43 for that. There's also DVDFab Decrypter. It's free, it's self-contained, and unlike DVD Shrink, it's still in development.;)

Did you say you're also getting read errors when you copy homemade movies? If that's the case, you should try a drive cleaner. If it still has read errors during the verification process, then the lens is probably out of whack.

Thanks for the post and the cleaning suggestion, I will give it a try. I also know what you mean about the decryptor and yes DVD43 is good or Any DVD plus there are a ton of freeware and shareware options if you go to Cnet.
