It should be a standard ISO image file. Do we have any idea what the physical mechanism is in this deterioration? The disc looks perfectly normal with no visible damage at all. I am trying it under the program EAC, which uses a similar retry method. So far after several hours it has "read" less than 1% of the first track, so I am not optimistic. This is in a Plextor drive, which should do retries itself. Also checking my copies of Symphonies 1 and 6 and a Robert Simpson CD. Regards -- Don Cox [log in to unmask]
