It means that the movie is corrupt on that cd.
Possibly it was a bad cd or the burner is playing up.

No, there isn't any prob with CD. It seems that U r using LG CD-ROM.
Well for any CD-ROM the best solution for such prob is to use Alcohol 120% to make an image of that CD (select Skip read errors during this process). After that, just mount that image on any Virtual Drive & enjoy......

You can use Nero to create an image, and later use Nero image Drive to load that image.

But Nero doesn't provide any option to skip read errors. Alcohol provides u that option too which is much helpful when copying scratched CDs. IsoBuster & similar s/w r also effective in such cases.

Dude Nero automatically skips read error and create a image of what it can read properly
