@Snowshadow The disc was REALLY beat up, the media was flaking, it had dark spots, was scratched to shit and had see through holes in it lol. It was literally stored in a box in my closet, loose, next to t he water heater.

Extracting the readable bits off such discs can take a long while lol

All of this effort to get half a shrek

"...half a shrek" LOL.
It was damaged to the point of no return yet you carefully coaxed the data from it...only to find "half a shrek." That was funny indeed.
At least you extracted a funny story from the experience, eh. lol

@Snowshadow Yes that's the insulting part, like the whole shrek 1 in shitty mpg quality didn't fit on one single 650mb disc, so it was split into two separate files.

This is the second. No idea where the first went, so not only is shrek, but it's also useless shrek 10/10 outcome
