The discs are already burnt, taken from a turntable to a hard drive, and from there the gentleman burns the DVDs.

Here's a good burning program (completely free): Imgburn
Download that, install it, and take a look at their forums regarding what brands of media are known good and known bad. Also, check your firmware, see if there have been any updates. |
Imgburn is good, and I have it already. I do believe the issue was a dirty optical drive lens.

Question are the DVD's that your right clicking and copying, are they originals or burns? And can you play the media from your DVDROM?
If you can play the media from your DVDROM but when you 'copy' it to the harddrive and it doesnt work there...you need Disk Copying Software. I use DVDFab.

I believe the discs themselves may be dirty, as was the optical drive. Eventually, I got it all copied seemingly OK.

You would think they would have a solution for that fact by now, even an 'illegal' one; companies probably do it not only because it's cheap but because good media would result in more CD burning, I'm sure; who knows.
Are we all in agreement, however, that compressed air in the disc drive and isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip to clean the optical lens is a good idea, as I have read?
