Re: dvd reader with scratched media

If they're generally not too scratched, the Litey should do a good job, and fast.

I use my Litey as my primary ripper, and it's very rare I come across a disc it can't read. The Sammy is my second choice as ripper in case the Litey can't read a disc, but so far the Litey's done well.

Edit: however, I have to add - my neighbour gave me a disc once, that none of my drives installed then could read - an older LiteOn, and BenQ 1650, and an LG E10N. The Samsung was the only one to even register the disc, let alone read it
