Dodgy drive?

[andyb]

Trying to rip a Bluray, tried three times but keeps on failing with the following error:
Error 'Scsi error - HARDWARE ERROR:441E' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM.
Tried the Pledge trick, no luck.
This is with a Pioneer BDR-209D
I've got twin Bluray drives, so I ripped it with a LG UHRNS30 and went through first time.
My logic is that the Pioneer is a sick puppy, anyone confirm or have any other ideas?

I'd tend to agree with you on the Pioneer being on its last legs. Or, it may just need a good cleaning.

Thanks for the reply. To clean it, is it just a blast of compressed air or is it worth buying one if those cleaning discs? I did give the computer a good clean out the other day, so perhaps I blasted some dust into the drive, it's only 6 moths old, so unlikely to be a build up.

Blowing it out is the first step. The cleaning disks aren't all that helpful, compared to a long cotton swab and knowing where to use it.

Ta, I've tried blowing it out and will see what happens, cotton bud knowledge is limited to not putting it into my ear canal. As its only 6 months old I'm pretty sure it should be under guarantee anyways.
