I have read all your posts about dirty discs and poor qc issues with interest. I too have been having problems backing up my "NEW" copy of Devil Wears Prada. I was having the same problem in the same place as all the others. I tried various combinations of software and washing the disc. I was about to give up when I decided to try ripping the disc with another drive. I seldom use my NEC 2510A drive anymore since getting my BENQ 1640 drive. I use the BENQ always now to backup my discs. Well guess what, the NEC drive backed up Devil Wears Prada with no problem, not even a stutter in the problem area. I hope someone can explain this to me.
I was using the latest versions of CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD.

Thanks.. hope this helps
