Thank you.

Have you got any other suggestions for under windows? Ripbot only seems to download as some obscure zip type file and even after downloading the 7zip program it says it needs I can't open it.

I am trying to rip the four discs for season one and two for the BBC series Being Human. The problem is that the discs are encoded as 1080i VC-1. This means that although Make MKV rips them fine, Handbrake can then not deal with the encodes as apparently they are not in it's libraries or something. ...

I actually think that question is probably best asked in the general MKV thread so will ask there. Thanks again for your help.

Sorry I meant how to get the vc1 encode that make mkv produces into a format that handbrake understands so I can get into iTunes. ITunes won't recognise the file without conversion

Bloody hell. It is! You're a genius! I had no idea that wasn't supported. I cleaned the lens, ran a test rip of Total Recall Blu which was fine, went back to the disc I was trying to rip ("Being Human") and again I got same error. It is a 1080i VC-1 encode so spot on. Thank you. I have no ...

I've just realised I'm being stupid. That error message is from MakeMKV trying to read the DVD drive - which, of course, has no disc in it. It reads that as default when it first fires up. D'ph. So basically, Make MKV is reading the blu-ray fine, ripping it, and then I get the error message as previ...

Thanks. The bizarre thing. makeMKV reads the disc and tells me the title and volume etc etc.....

Ok - cheers for the reply. Have emailed the supplier who responded already which impressed me. They've said it's a known issue and to clean the lens.

I will try that when I get home. I appreciate the response

Again thanks for the reply but the disc is fine? Well when I say it's fine, it plays in my Blu-ray player no problem. Also I don't get this error when ripping DVDs, just Blu-rays. Can it really be a knackered drive? It's brand new and still reads DVDs.

Thanks for the reply. If I use direct disc access mode and then try and open the resulting files within handbrake I get the message : No title(s) found Your source may be copy protected, badly mastered, or in a format that Handbrake does not support If I try and use a third party (like any dvd) to r...

My method of choice was anyDVD, MakeMKV, then Handbrake to rip video for my apple TV. Been happily ripping DVDs for ages. Then I got an external USB blu-ray drive and started ripping BDs. Everything worked fine for about a fortnight. Then MakeMKV suddenly told me Blu-ray functionality was disabled w...
