I have couple of old scratched DVDs which I wanted to rescue using ddrescue. The problem is it shows "error splicing file" on copying files manually using PartedMagic or Ubuntu, also ddrescue gets stuck at 0.14% and can't rescue the rest of the DVD, but when I start the laptop to Windows, it will copy all files of the DVD without any errors.
I trust ddrescue more than any Windows tool for the scratched DVD backup job. So I need a solution to get ddrescue to copy contents of DVDs successfully.

As you tested the files copied under Windows and they come up as correct, I suggest respectfully that there is no need to run ddrescue.

Different operating systems access the devices differently, with different drivers, so one may fail where the other one succeeds.
