I trying switching from my burner to ROM (both LG), and hard errors only 1s.
But this 1GB vob is only progressing at 100KB/s, way too slow.

It's not a surface defect at all. Radial from the hub, about 5x40mm spoke.
There is a defect between the layers, perhaps made worse by a cleaner.

I have all the files except this bad VOB. The main movie is fine.
