Hello, you have plenty of read errors in your logs. It looks like it could be a bad disc and/or bad drive.

It doesn't look like bad disc. It is bad disc. Exchange it and try again.

If installed (often from Duplex Secure, Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% ), uninstall SPTD, which is the culprit for slow rips.

There are read errors which can be caused by a badly pressed disc, dirty disc, damaged disc, problematic filters, driver conflicts, and a slowly dying DVD drive among other things.

See SamuriHL's Bad Disc Guide:

1. Disable AnyDVD
2. Load ImgBurn and select Read Mode
3. Create ISO image on the hard drive
4. If the ISO image creation was successful, enable AnyDVD and mount the image with Virtual Clone Drive. Try to play it.
5. If the ISO image creation was unsuccessful, you have either a bad disc and/or a bad drive.

thanks for all the info on my issue. the disk was fine after i cleaned it. the problem was the with the region. my samsung bd1500 was confused and would'nt play it with anydvd hd set to automatic. i ripped it again with region set to region A and it now works without a hitch. thanks to the moderators who pointed me in the right direction
