Error when ripping 2011 ANH BD - bad disc?

I tried to rip ANH in AnyDVD HD to an image file but it crapped out on me at 29%. The write rate dropped from about 8MB/s avg. to as low as 0.02MB/s. Then I got an error saying certain sectors were missing or something to that effect.

Do I have a bad disc?

Also, I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this in. I'm not sure where I should be taking this problem.

EDIT: Here's the log

I'd take it to the AnyDVD HD support forums, but try giving the disc a clean first.

Did you try Any DVD HD with another disc to rule out if its your drive or the software acting up? Sounds like your drive is reading it, so if it reads another disc again fine then option one would be to play it in your BD player and look for any freezing later on in the movie. If it freezes on the player, the disc is bad/has laser rot (very rare though) so a new replacement disc may be in order. I've had a few of those and in a rare case, a rented BD of Toy Story that had major laser rot going on and no player in the world would load it.

Option two would be something to do with copy protection that wasn't stripped all the way, if your drive loads the disc and tries extracting the video stream but there are problems/freezing/errors. Is your disc from the original 2011 trilogy set, or a recent printing from 2014? I noticed a lot of recent (2013-) Fox discs have a different copy protection scheme that a lot of PC drives and media players have trouble with and most DC and RP software cannot get rid of completely, thus causing problems like such programs freezing up when ripping, causing "garbage" pixels appearing in the image of encodes, or in some cases, "making" bad sectors for protection purposes. If this would be the case, I'd try tracking down the disc from the 1st release and try that.
