Follow-up: I got the new HD installed using the image file created by dd_rhelp. The DVDR's title menu lists all recordings as it listed before, and makes new recordings successfully, but apparently dd_rhelp was more accurate with its 99.99% report than with 100.00%. The recording that the DVDR locked up playing has an 11 second loss/bad spot at the same place.
Yup. So you've saved everything else - good. And that'll now last another 7 years :-
I won't know everything else is good without watching all 100+ hours in real time. :-( 20906 hours powered up equates to only about 2.4 years of constant on.
Was that recording an old one made when the disk was nearly new? If the DVDR couldn't read it, I'm not surprised ddrescue couldn't either. If SMART doesn't report any problems on the drive, it should be safe to format and re-use it - I guess the magnetism on that one block just faded too much over time ...
Had you read the link in the post you replied to you should have noticed the disk would have been far from new when that recording was made, possibly at around 14426 hours or 20 months disk on time. The SD DVDR that the disk is in offers no evidence that it employs Smart technology. Earlier in this thread I showed Smartctl reported 131 pending sectors and reallocated sector count of 0. It's the second of the very same model in identical service here, the two being manufactured less than 90 days apart. I consider the old HD junk at this point, and likely most if not all of that model from that period. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
