I get the DVD Decrypter Failed to read Sector - Unrecovered Read Error error
message all the time lately. There MUST be a way to tell DVD Decrypter to
skip past all the 'bad sectors' but I don't know it and I'm pretty good at
this too.

I think the sony arccos protection is what is making DVD Decrypter say that
error message. A friend told me his 321 Studios X-copy NEVER gets that Failed
to read Sector error message so maybe that's the way to go!
