I am copying over a DVD that I made to my laptop. When ever I get to the last .vob file I get an Error code -36

Anyone know what I can do to fix this? Or even anyone know what the problem is

Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB

System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
 
error -36 is a file system error. http://www.cwu.edu/~lynnl/nvec.html

I wonder if the file is corrupted. Try burning something you know works and see if it burns correctly.

I would also run diagnostics on your hard drive. I'm not familiar with macs but I would imagine there has to be something you can run.

Thanks for the advice mate.

I woke up this morning after having a sleepless night thinking my MB Pro had packed in.

I re-recorded to the DVD from my DVD recorder and copied the file back to my laptop - and it worked.

Really bizarre as I tried twice yesterday.

I am going to test it for the second time in a short while after ive uploaded this DVD to youtube will let you know how i get on
 
-36 is a read/write error; read in most cases.

It just means that your DVD didn't burn properly the first time, so that file couldn't be read. This happens.
 
Awesome!

I would still run some kind of diagnostics on your hard drive :)

Yes I'm over the moon.

Not sure of any diagnostic that I could run are you aware of anything?

Or can someone please guide me in the right direction?
