Note that the last successful read time is over 16 hours. At this point, the numbers in the left column have long since quit incrementing, while the numbers (that are not 0) in the other two colums
are the only ones going up.
I have searched on the internet about this. Some folks talk about theirs going days without ever stopping on its own. Others point out that sometimes you can CTRL-C out and the iso you get will be mostly OK. Mine unfortunately was not. :)
Is there anything I should think about changing on the command line to get better results?

so what is the DVD of? is it something like family movies, or is it something u can download.
if you can just download it off the internet, i recommend that.
is that if 30% of the image is unreadable after the first run you know you can
ut the DVD into the trash and need waste no
more time :-)

I don't do a lot of optical media rescuing with ddrescue, but the idea
is that you have to perform the reads using multiple devices.
Say you have a bunch of defective sectors. Some optical media reader is
capable of reading 33% of them. Another media reader can read 50% of them. And another media reader can read 39% of them. Hopefully if you
run ddrescue with each reader, and put the results together, you can rebuild the whole iso or at least the most of it.
You could run a round of reads using the -n switch, which should speed things up quite a bit. Reduce the number of retries too - there is no point in trying 4 times for the sector in a first run. You will
retrieve less data with each pass, but the thing is that if 30% of the image is unreadable after the first run you know you can put the DVD
into the trash and need waste no more time :-)
so what is the DVD of? is it something like family movies, or is it something u can download.
if you can just download it off the internet, i recommend that.
I might be able to download it, I have not looked. People talk about downloading things but I am not sure where they find them. It is a DVD I bought.
I need to get smarter about those things. :)

get better results trying to address the physical damage. I've been using some
lastic polish that I got off amazon for other things. It works well.
