I have a bunch of disks that will play fine in my laptop and TV, but

drive, so I got a new pioneer, same issue - scratch somewhere that
causes no hiccup on other players makes it tank.  I can't even cp or
rsync data off them, and these are only minor scratches.  Is there
anything tunable, or ways  to keep rsync or cp going after an error?
I get 100MB of the last GB file.  Most annoying.  I know you usually
want cp to fail if there's read errors, but this is one instance where
you'd like it to skip and keep going - I assume that's what my dvd
player does.  These are not commercial disks, so I can't just go out
and buy a new one, and I was too stupid to make backups, so I have a
vested interest in a workaround.

Thanks,
Steve

It could still be hardware. I had similar symptoms with a recent new laptop. I had the DVD writer replaced under warranty with the same model and the engineer commented that it was a not uncommon problem, usually fixed by swapping the hardware.
