| Did you verify your discs after burning them? Bad sectors are fairly common, especially with cheap media, so you should ALWAYS verify the data after burning. It sounds a lot like your discs just have bad sectors, in which case there's not much you can do about it — a few files will be unreadable.
However, the bit about "This time it got to 25 songs and had the same error" suggests there might be something more to it. You mean to say that it successfully copied a file it failed on before? In that case, you might be able to save them all with a few repeated attempts.
I think the Finder will not serve you well here, because it always stops every time it encounters an error, as you noticed. You'd be better off using Terminal, I think. In Terminal, type "cp -Ri " (with the trailing space), then drag your disc icon into the window, and then drag the folder you want to copy it to into the window. So the end result should look something like this:
cp -Ri /Volumes/Your_DVD /Volumes/Your_Hard_Disk/Destination_folder
This will copy all the files, and it will NOT stop if it encounters an error reading a file. Rather, it will tell you there was an error with that file and it will continue copying the rest of the folder, leaving the problematic file half-copied in the destination folder. Then you can go back and try to copy the particular files it failed on again and see if that will work.
I've heard that Toast 8 has a more robust method of copying files from hard-to-read discs. I've never tried it myself, but you might want to look into it. |
