Hello, I'm trying to start practicing cold-storage of a few TB, need proper HTL but I've gotten a couple bad batches from amazon. Where else can I buy quality discs?

you can try videohelp.com....they have a section on blanks there

Thanks to MakeMkv I have been able to preserve over $200 invested in these 4 DVD sets that without MakeMkv would have been subject to damage or deterioration because traditional methods of making a backup failed: Queen of Blood (MOD) The Expanse Season 4 (MOD) The Last Man On Earth Seasons 2-4 (MOD)...

Thanks prodigy for introducing me to The Last Man on Earth series....I just ordered it on "A"

have you tried ripping it with another ripping tool? dvdshrink, dvdfab, dvddecrptor as secondary check on the dvd

Thanks, didn't know that.

I loved the Amiga. I think the Babylon 5 special effects were done on the Amiga 2000.

I know this won't help, but the last time I had a computer that could multi-task multiple drives simultaneously was an Amiga 500. Separate processors for just about everything in it.

Download the program of your choice something like the freeware Nero Infotool. It gives you the info on a dvd like layers, copy protection, Region Coding, etc...see what it says. You may be dealing with knockoffs.

Just as a troubleshooting aid you could try opening the disk with a different ripping tool like dvdfabdecrypter, dvdshrink or dvddecrpter to see if one of them will open the dvd and rip the disk.

I got most of my bootlegs from:

Ebay
Amazon 3rd party
Walmart 3rd party

All 3 places listed above have gotten better at screening out knockoffs.

Surprisingly, GoodWillBooks.com were all clean except they had a tendency to over buff their DVD's so I would run into a lot of bad ones.

Any chance these are knockoff DVD's?

I'd start by getting another dvd or dvdrw drive

I don't know what O/S you are using but if you can download Nero Infotool, it's freeware and it gives you all the info about a disk. Copy protection (CSS), layers, OTP...etc...I use an ancient version (6) but it works fine on my old Windows XP system
