What does ignoring read errors result in?

If I choose to "Always Ignore Read Errors?" in DVDDecrypter, what actually ends up happening?

I'm trying to read a disc, but DVDDecrypter keeps running into read errors. What would be the result if I had the program ignore those errors, and then burned the disc anyway?

Would the picture skip, or audio be whacked, or ???

Video is pretty tolerant of errors such as lost frames. As long as there are not a bunch of consecutive lost frames, you may not notice. Maybe a flash or a little jerky action.

Data on the other hand, usually can't tolerate more than a very few or any errors in the stream without trashing the whole file.

In a video with enough errors, yes, the picture could skip or the audio go out of sync. Or the video may just freeze. This is pretty familiar with downloaded video.

I don't know how many bits are in a 4.3 G video, but it must be an incredible amount. Loosing a few here and there isn't so bad.
