Copying files from DVD with errors

  • Thread-topic: Copying files from DVD with errors

I have an appleScript that copies files from a DVD onto a directory on a
local hard drive (once on the local drive, they're renamed and moved into an
archive, so worries about overwriting existing files).

We have hundreds of DVDs to process each with 3 to 4 gigs and hundreds of
files to copy out of thousands on each disc.

I'm scripting the finder, to first get a list of files from each folder to
move, then move them with a single command. If that command errors out (10%
of the time, due to corrupt files) then the script goes through the list and
tries to copy the individual files that didn't successfully copy. When it
gets to one of the ones that just won't copy, it saves its path to a log
file.

This is taking too long on CDs where errors are encountered.

I'm wondering if there's a do shell script command what would speed this up.
That would copy the files it could, and return a list of files it can't
copy.

I'm looking at the cp command, and can see how to do single files, and get
an useable result, but not for multiple files with error reporting.

Any suggestions?
