4 out of 5 Burned Sony Data DVD's contains CRC error ?!?

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

This night I was trying to backup my source code, emails, websites and
information to a DVD.

This time I wanted to make 100% sure that every bit was verified and tested.

Out of 5 DVD's WinRar reported 4 DVD's as bad/corrupted/crc32 errors !

Only one DVD came through 100% perfect as far as I can tell... another DVD
came very close 99.999999% perfect... but still an unexplained and
undetected bit error somewhere... only the DVD copieing program detected
it... I want to be 100% sure so this second one doesn't count.

That's a failure rate of 80% !

I tried the following:

1. Burning at 4 MByte/Sec.
2. Burning at 12 MByte/Sec.
3. Burning at 16 MByte/Sec.
4. Blowing the drive clean a little bit.
5. Lowering the fans on the PC case... this seemed to help a little bit or
maybe it was a fluck of luck... this DVD was 100% ok ?!?
6. Listening on the table to see if under neighbours or cars/trucks driving
by where making noise.

I noticed the IBM/Hitachi Harddisk do make quite some noise/vibrations on
the wooden table.
7. Disconnected internet.

Maybe harddisk/filesystem a little bit fragmented... by the buffers seemed
to remain full... the read buffer in nero remained above 90% full...

The dvd burner (benq) did seem to drop to 23% at occasions.

One dvd had a little bit of crease and had the most errors. (Wrote with
waterpen on it before burning the rest after).

All other dvd's came clean out of the sony cakebox.

I feel lucky and blessed that I at least got one good DVD out of this
experiment and necessary backup.

Let this posting be a warning message to those programmers and other people
out there thinking about using DVD's as backup mediums !

Always verify the DVD... but that's not enough !

One DVD still came through "verified" by the DVD writing program... however
WinRar still reported corruption.

Another explanation could be that some of my RAM chips might be
corrupted/defect... however shouldn't I have noticed that by now ?!?

I also tried extracting the originals on the harddisk... and no bit errors
or crc's error happen there which more or less proves that it's probably not
a memory error... since it would probably use the same ammount of memory and
such.

I am just hoping that one copy remains good fingers crossed... I also had
another copy... at least the rar's where good.. but maybe some of the
software like executables for extraction might be nuked.

(I also have dual layer verbatims on my closest shelfes... didn't try those
yet... since backup data was about 2.7 GB... so saving those for some other
time ... these were 4 GB Sony DVD's which I used...)

What's your experience with burning DVD's... anybody out there experiencing
high failure rates ?!?

Maybe with sony dvd's or benq dvd drives ?

(This is 2006 technology )

Bye,
Skybuck.

Anyway... what I would need for good backup purposes on DVD's is something
better than WinRar.

I need some sort of compression tool, which does do compression... but which
also adds redundancy...

So that it can at least recover from single bit errors ?!? (Maybe even
multiple bit errors ?!?)

Just detecting bit errors like WinRar does is not really enough... since bit
errors seems to happen more often than not.

Does such a "compression/redundancy tool" already exist ?!?

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Hmm interesting I came across this website which claims WinRar can add error
correcting codes to archives...

http://hubpages.com/hub/Interesting-aspects-about-Win-Rar-software

As far as I know the wizard doesn't show it... during compression
decisions...

So apperently this is a tool/feature that can be applied to archives after
they are created...

And indeed WinRar does have a "command" called: "protect archive from
damage".

I am going to try this feature out and see how it works out...

And then I am gonna try one last burn and see if it can actually recover
from bit errors !

Later I might "study" the bad burns to see what kind of bit errors
occured... or maybe not since my time is valuable too you know... me don't
have much time to **** around like this !

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

This could be a nice feature... since the ammount of compressed data is only
2.7 GB and DVD has room for 4.7 GB...

Though I also believe more data on DVD is more potential for problems...
especially outer rings...

There are multiple rar's which need to be "protected from damage"... so some
rars might move more closer to outer rings which makes it a bit more risky
but ok... maybe the recovery data can recover from that... it's worth a
try...

I do which this tool was a bit more flexible... so that I could protect all
files... not just rar's...

I shall put the remaining files in a rar as well so that they can be
protected as well..

I also wish this tool had some kind of calculator for all files... to
calculate the percentage...

Or even better just specify the "free space" on dvd...

But ok... it doesn't have that and for now it's guess work...

So far my calculation seems to be around 71% of extra records could be
added... assuming Sony didn't lie and 4.7 GB actually means 4.7 GB

For now I will go with 70% to be on the same side... The default seems to be
1%... so 70% seems to be much more !

Almost double !

So here goes... to be continued... I fear this is gonna be an allocation
problem... like oh shit... it didn't fit ?!

I guess most important files should go first... then other files might
receive a little bit less or so to make it fit after all Unless it gets
to bad

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Hmm one last thing... I can't compress WinRar351.exe ofcourse... it needs to
remain the way it is... but the rest could do !

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Hmm that's kinda stupid...

The redundancy information seems to be limited to only 10% ?!?

That does make it a no brainer to try it out... but I wonder if it's gonna
work at all...

But might as well spent another sony dvd on it... since I got plenty of
those things...

Kinda interesting to see if it's gonna work or not...

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Ok,

Another bad toaster for the closet.

Conclusions:

1. DVD technology might be nice for audio, but is bad for data.
2. WinRar repair feature sux.

At least with these multiple bad toastest it's possible to still recover
some data...

Each DVD has certain files which work... which didn't work on others and
vice versa...

So with a bit of luck all might be recovered...

But for me this won't do... It's pretty crazy having to collect multiple
dvd's just to be able to restore
something successfull... just testing what's working and what's not working
costs a shit load of time !

So not gonna do that... for now I will have to rely on good faith and hoping
that some files are ok...

I think so since I already spent a shit load of time on testing it out with
WinRar's "test" feature which indicates crc32 failures on some files and
some not.

Kinda sux... I kinda regret buying 500 of these dvd's in the past... since
they so bad... or my drive bad... or the technology bad... who knows

At least I can give them away for free... as audio dvd's when somebody has
audio dvd's... but I know of nobody that has audio dvd's lol

Or it can keep trying and getting a good burn...

Maybe the verbatin disks will give better results but I doubt it...

I shall have to find another backup strategy in the future or maybe near
future...

Backing up everything to backup harddisks seems best to me...

Bye,
Skybuck.

So many bad burns warrants a further investigation...

On the label on the sony cake... it says:

www.dvdrwservices.com

Which takes me to this compatibility list via the faq:

http://www.dvdrw.com/why/compatoverview.htm

Surprise Surprise ! The BenQ drive is not on the list ?!

Quite remarkable ?!

I feel a conspiracy theory coming on... or another explanation or even a
third explanation so there are now three possibilities:

Possibilities:

1. BenQ drive is utter crap.
2. Anybody know on compatibility list gets intensively fucked by some secret
code or procedure or whatever.
3. Sold media is crap or only suitable for their drives... which is pretty
much the same as step 2.

This kinda sux.

One last thing I could try is go over to my mother's place which has a cheap
HP computer... which also has a DVD drive... I don't know which one yet...
but maybe it's on the compatibility list... and then see if it does any
better burning...

This would require sending my stuff over via the internet... fortunately I
have my own protected file transfer tool... with a bit of help of remote
desktopping it should be able to do that and pull it off !

Then I can try a burn there... !

If that fails then I am gonna say **** it !

Last time I buy BenQ that's for sure... and last time I buy anything that's
not on some fucking compatibility list ?!

Be it cd, dvd, flash/ssd or whatever ?!

Bye,
Skybuck.

Typo corrected, not that it matters much but ok:

2. Anybody not on compatibility list gets intensively fucked by some secret
code or procedure or whatever.

Actually since I had one good burn... I could simply take that DVD over
there and read it and such...

Add some file hashing info via e-mail just in case to tell if it read good
and it should be fine...

Then I can test if it can motherfucking read it... and then I can try and
re-burn it... to get some more duplicates !

One for the "safe/fault" and one for me !

Bye,
Skybuck =D

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Another company fucking skybuck up the ass:

I hate these motherfucking son of bitches !

This should be disallowed:

BenQ drives appear to be Philips drives !

I would have never bought it if I knew it had any Philips components in it
?!

Philips = Always bad for computers at least.

But maybe cd and dvd technology is bad in general...

But still... this should be outlawed !

Selling under different names ! BAH !

Failure log 2:

I hope those ain't activation keys... if so then **** nero you stupid dumb
son of bitches ! HAHA !
(Maybe nero don't work so well with BenQ drives who knows ?! Maybe I
should give BenQ burning software a try or so ? hmmm...)

Actually "Nero Software" came with the BenQ drive... So I am already using
it...

Only other software for "dvd drives" that came with my PC/Drive(?) is WinDVD
suite...

Not sure if it's usuably for making Data DVD's... Hmm...

I'll give it a try.

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Also I wonder if Windows XP Pro x64 can simply burn stuff to DVD's... maybe
that will work...

I think windows media player might be able to do it... it seems to have some
burning capabilities or maybe that was a special program on somebody's
computer system

For now I am gonna try WinDVD Creator 2... installed... bitched a bit about
64 bit... but seemed to install...

Needs a reboot... rebooting now...

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Well that was pretty confusing... Apperently WinDVD Creator 2 is part of a
WinDVD suite...

which is again called Intervideo launcher/whatever...

It's a "suite of 4 programs"

PhotoAlumb 1.0
DvdCopy 2.5
WinDVD Creator 2
Disc Master 2.5

The auto launcher didn't pop because I have it disabled... it says WinDVD
suite so I thought WinDVDCreator2 must be it... I thought wrong...

This time after reboot I decided to install the launcher as well and the
other 3 programs as well.. it looks handy...

I think Disc Master 2.5 is actually the thing I needed.

Again it requires a reboot...

Something interesting happened though... I think it fucked with my logon and
logoff scripts...

Those settings are probably gone... which means my file disk images weren't
be mounted properly...

So apperently these setup programs use logon scripts ?!? Me not sure yet...
not much of problem... just extra work for me... but could be problem if I
die and somebody else uses my computer they won't know how to fix it !
Unless I switch back to using batchfiles for startup folder.. but then log
off won't work... when user switching... so windows has lot's and lot's of
issues ! but then... windows can also do much much much... probably much
more then ubuntu or any other operating system out there ?! But I might
wrong... but I don't think so... point of the story... so many
possitibilities... so many combinations... sooner or later it's gonna
trigger all kinds of untested unknown or ill known problems !

Rrrrrebooting.. the dreaded reboot.

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

BY THE WAY this software came with my asus motherboard... it says it only
works with asus motherboards !

I feel like I own something special !!! Big fucking whoopie !

Ok time to give it a try !

This could rule out if it's a nero issue or not...

This gonna be interesting... I wonder what it's gui will be like...

Bye,
Skybuck.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Oh by the way.. the logon and logoff script is working again... maybe the
first time it just took a bit of time or something... or maybe it restored
it... I don't know...

Ok time to test "Intervideo WinDVD Suite, Disc Master 2.5 that only works on
Asus motherboards" !

That's a whole mouth of come for you !

Bye,
Skybuck LOL.

 

[CellShocked]

Anyway... what I would need for good backup purposes on DVD's is something
better than WinRar.

I need some sort of compression tool, which does do compression... but which
also adds redundancy...

So that it can at least recover from single bit errors ?!? (Maybe even
multiple bit errors ?!?)

Just detecting bit errors like WinRar does is not really enough... since bit
errors seems to happen more often than not.

Does such a "compression/redundancy tool" already exist ?!?

Bye,
Skybuck.

The tools that are in place are beyond the comprehension of Usenet group
abusing retards like you.

AFTER you find out what posting conventions and protocols are, and AFTER
you start following them, you MIGHT get better answers to your wildly
STUPID question from the perspective of nearly all the groups you have
decided to INVADE with your stupid horseshit.
