taking a movie back off a disc

I'm not sure what the trouble is but there are a few movies I have that no matter the speed of the computer can I copy the movie back to the computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Disk did'nt record to begin with cd-rom drive has broke Disk has decayed , you used a sh*t/cheap make of cd ;) You put the cd in upside down :):D Your too impatient, wait!!! :P Every 20/30 seconds you fall down a worm hole and go back in time :D IDE cable is broken/old , replace

It did record cause we can watch it I can take other movies off discs from back then with no problem My cd rom is fine My computer is fine Maybe you need to get a life and not pick on someone who has a problem. that is the whole idea behind this place

I had one disc given to me that the movie couldnt be copied off the cd because some how a CRC error had occured near the end of the cd (actually during the credits) so using virtual dub, I loaded the file from the disc, selected direct stream copy and then only re-saved the actual movie back to my HDD before the point of the CRC error. The film was watchable up to the error from the cd but couldnt be copied directly without the technique i have used. Hope this helps.

I think you took my post the wrong way I was only suggesting problems that I thought could help, I was not trying to offend

Dolly36, sounds like the problem I was getting, have you tried the solution I suggested?
