does anyone know what cyclic redundancy check means? (i'm trying to copy hi-res images from a dvd.)

Sounds like the DVD might be scratched, or the file corrupted.

Try cleaning off the DVD or something

The nerdy answer...

The lay answer....

A "CRC" error is most often caused by bad media - it could be any of the following:

1. A dirty disc,
2. A scratched disc
3. A poor quality disc (cheap media if it happens during the "Burn" section of your work)
4. A bad disc from the Mfgr.

It can also be from a bad optical component in your drive. At this time I don't believe it's your drive at all.

If you recently purchased this disc new from a store, I would return it as defective if just cleaning and the proper use of DVD Decrypter doesn't get the job done.

hmm I got it from the ad agency I deal with at work so it's possible that it's scratched. Thanks for the info guys!

try copying just one at at a time. one of the files is probably corrupt or named weird. we get that sometimes when we back up laptop hard drives
