In case anyone from the future stumbles on this. The cheap drive I bought off Amazon was the culprit. It started failing on most every disc at a certain point. Spent extra money for a decent Blu-ray drive and voila. Not only does everything rip much faster, but BTTF3 is also now ripped.

Tried. Same result.

New to backing up my movies.
I have the Back to the Future 30th Anniversary collection. First two movies (and others I've ripped) ripped no problem. Part III fails every time. I'm using a Beelink S13 mini PC with Windows 11. Some Chinese-made (I'm sure junk) external Blu-ray player (I don't own and ...
