| Re: [PLUG] Ripping a scratched DVD |
You may find that dd will bomb out on the scratches. I have recovered a few disks that had scratches, including ones with intentionally manufactured defects, with ddrescue. ddrescue will do the same thing as dd, but optionally pad unreadable sectors with zeros on the first pass, and then go back to attempt a re-read. I have had great success recovering a few failing hard drives with it. ddrescue -n -b 2048 /dev/sr0 disk.iso disk.log Cheers.
