    DVD Data Location On The Disk Itself
    « on: November 29, 2023, 12:30:13 PM »
    When copying a dvd, copying freezes at (for instance) 33%.
    On the data (shiny side) of the disk, where on the disk would 33% be??

    There is more data closer to the outer edge, (bigger circles=more data)

    If one knows where 33% location is on disk, one knows where (approximately) to look for scratches to buff out, rather than buffing the whole disk.

    Quick answer. Buff the whole disc.
    Long answer:

      Was a reply, but does not answer my question.
      Where would 33%, or any % for that matter be?

      I polished the disk (was then OK), but still would like to know.

      Don't imagine you will find an answer that is simple.
      Most DVDs today have copyright material . To control the pirates the format is a tomfoolery secret. Amway. it is beyond the scope of this forum to explain how the DVD us mapped. The 33% may not be a reference to a location.  8)
