rlinsurf Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have copied mixed PC/Mac CDs before for a customer (the CD he had was badly scratched so I had to grind it down to resurface it and I did a copy for him) - it worked fine I just used Disc Copier It's just a data CD I need to make for my family of a Filemaker Pro database I made. But that brings up another subject. If you don't mind, I have a music CD which is literally irreplaceable. It was live music record for a high school play for which I am doing video editing. The CD worked fine the first day, and I stupidly only transferred the first two tracks. They play fine. Then, a few weeks later, I can't get the thing to be recognized at all. It just spits out. I finally got it to be recognized after about twenty tries ion one of my machines. The files are all doing some weird thing sort of like skipping -- or as if their corrupt in some way. I went and got a disc cleaner, one of those units which grinds the scratches out. Worked on it all day, it still doesn't play normally -- even the first tracks which used to. Have you ever heard of anything like this? I wouldn't be so OT -- but this disc is truly precious to everyone involved.

gi7omy Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I've had to work for a long time with some CDs with bad scratches (and my grinder is the manual one and I wound up with very sore wrists cranking that wheel). However, I did discover that after the grinding when you go to the polishing stage, that a drop or two of metal polish did help. No guarantees but it would be worth a try and, as you check the disc, haul off the tracks that can be read to a folder - then try again and se if you can recover the remainder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Disc Copier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
