Package: dvdbackup Version: 0.1.1-7 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
It would be nice, if dvdbackup would not immediately abort on a read
error (maybe scratches), but instead pads the missing blocks and reads
on. I have attached a patch that does it and it would be nice if it
could be included by default. It adds a new command line swtich -r
which specifies how to handle read errors. -r a means abort (current
behavior). -r b means skip single block. -r m means skip multiple
blocks (as many as were left in the failed read-request, up to 1MB).
The last option is necessary for some drives whose firmware locks up
if one tries to read oen block after the after which are scratched.
Thanks,
Martin
