errors backing up a dvd using Nero

[manamanah]

hi,
i was wondering if anyone has any information. I have recorded some DVD's of a church event using a Sony Camera to an LG DVD recorder. All the DVD's will play fine on whatever DVD player i choose to use (ROM, Standalone, different manufacturers etc). When i try to back it up using nero (copy DVD), which i do every week at church without issue using the same setup, nero gets to 1% and then fails and says that it has an error reading data.
I thought i would try and fool the DVD by putting it through DVD Shrink, but i just get an error message that says that it can't read drive D:\.
The DVD's that i am using are clean, TDK printable, which we use every week without fail.

this has me completly stumped and i have no idea what to do. I have to do some duplication of this event for sale through the church and at present this is looking grim cause it seems as tho all we can get are the masters

can anyone help me out with some information, maybe a program that i could try....

This happened once before as well with another event (as luck would have it) where 2 of the disks wouldn't play or read in a DVD player, but they are able to be played and read on 1 particular laptop (but we can't burn them (AARRGGHH) )

any ideas???

Thanks

Finalized the disk?

yeah i have.....otherwise it wouldn't play in a standalone dvd player.....

they all play, as mentioned, they just won't read to copy...

What is the exact Nero error? Something like a Cyclic Redundancy error? Or is the DVD not recognized at all?

You might try DVDDecrypter or if that fails, ISOBuster to extract the video. DVDDecrypter can be set to ignore some level of errors. I'm assuming the errors are on the disc, not with your computer drive.

Players can tolerate a bit of errors and keep going. When you are using a computer to make an exact copy, any errors can cause problems. If all else fails, play the video back on a standalone DVD player and record it again to different media. There will be some quality loss, but you should be able to finish the project.

the error message that i am getting is that it "failed to read data"

i might try plugging another dvd player into the recorder and just re recording the masters....
