Is there an 'ISOPuzzle' for Blu-ray?

[lostkiwi]

For those that don't know, isopuzzle is a DVD Application that, when reading discs it replaces bad sectors with dummy data.

For the most part it allows you to copy DVD's, even if they have manufacturing problems or scratches.

I was wondering if there was any such thing for Blu-rays, that would run over the top of AnyDVD HD? I.E anydvd would strip off the DRM, and then Isopuzzle would copy the blu-ray to file, replacing bad sectors with dummy data where applicable.

Does anyone know of such software?

Many thanks.

There is no such thing as blu-rays don't use a DRM such as bad sector protection so there is no need to replace such things with dummy data. If you get read errors on a blu-ray (no matter how old/new the disc is), it's pretty much ALWAYS a defective disc (even if brand new).

The OP isn't trying to defeat bad-sector DRM; he's looking for a copy tool that will handle defective BDs the same way ISOPuzzle handles defective DVDs. IMO the question belongs in the High Definition Software forum as the OP is looking for third-party HD software; that's beyond the scope of AnyDVD HD itself.

Yep, spot on. I know with ISOPuzzle that I could get a DVD that would fail to copy with any ripping software (DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink/Any DVD, etc), yet using ISO Puzzle it would succeed, and not only that, when viewing the resulting MP4 file there was no noticeable issues, to the human eye anyway.

Quite simply, instead of falling over at a unreadable sector, it would put in dummy data. If you're only dealing with one or two bad sectors then the output file will be fine.

I've done a bit of searching and it seems that ISO Buster can do this, for bluray - I'll give it a go tonight.

ISOPuzzle does work on Bluray's. I've used it several times on badly scratched BR discs with great success.

Oh, that's excellent news, I'll try it tonight.

I didn't have much success with ISOBuster
