• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

working on a documentary now and I'm using a PowerMac G5 OS 10.4.11 and using toast 8.
I've been making Blu-ray data-dvd backups of my video files.

Have occasionally (sporadically) had problems with the discs.
Note that the disc burns and verifys as correct.
However, when I try to copy files from disc to desktop/hard drive/or anywhere, files will not copy.

Files will open and play, they are still accessable in this manner. But copying? forget it.

Does anyone know what might even cause this? I'm uncertain why it even happens.
Is there a box that i can check/uncheck to prevent this?
has it happened to anyone else?
thanks for any help you may offer.
