I have a bunch of disks that will play fine in my laptop and TV, but not in my freebsd system with a new-ish NEC drive. Figured it was the drive, so I got a new pioneer, same issue - scratch somewhere that causes no hiccup on other players makes it tank. I can't even cp or rsync data off them, and these are only minor scratches. Is there anything tunable, or ways to keep rsync or cp going after an error? I get 100MB of the last GB file. Most annoying. I know you usually want cp to fail if there's read errors, but this is one instance where you'd like it to skip and keep going - I assume that's what my dvd player does. These are not commercial disks, so I can't just go out and buy a new one, and I was too stupid to make backups, so I have a vested interest in a workaround. Thanks, Steve
