how much percent damaged or unreadable would the disc be before being a coaster, i got 99.46% good, 0% damaged .54 unreadable

Any less than 100% = coaster.

But remember, some of this depends on the quality of the drive being used to test.

I use Ahead (Nero) CD/DVD Speed for the first pass. If I get a nice smooth curve, all it well. If I get any deviation, then I use DVD Info Pro to read test.

I normailly get a smooth curve but accassional tiny downward spikes. Nothing that will cause me to redraw the curve. That tells me at least it can be read without any retries which I assume would create bigger spikes in the curve. If I want to go further I den to a data and surface scan. I get all green squares so I assume my picky DVD player will be happy with it.

Pretty much my process.
