Often asked for, but not likely to happen. Players bypass defects in optical disks by software design. But I have not seen any players that would make that exception for a stream read from a file. I've tried it with several, reading from DVD ISOs that were generated with the "skip errors"...

I have a solution which I can't use with makemkv yet for BRs but works fine for DVDs if you can get access to another copy of the same DVD (and I'm hoping eventually BR) I've written about it here before basically for DVDs needs Linux (though conceptually should work with windows 10 linux mode or cy...

So I've recently come across some blurays that I have problems ripping because the discs are damaged in some way. This is a common problem on this forum, but sometimes there is nothing one can do about. This is also a common problem for DVDs. With DVDs I have an "easy" workaround as CSS is...

Right now MakeMKV does what its title says pretty well. It can take a BR disc and turn it into a set of MKVs. It also had a "backup disc" functionality, but this seems much more limited, i.e. it doesn't seem to be intended to create playable backups (even if on occasion it doe work). i.e. ...

so one thing I do manually with DVDs (but can't yet do with BRs as I haven't figured out how) is use ddrescue to map the sectors that can't be read. If I can get access to another copy of the same disc, even if its damaged as well, as long as its damaged in a different area, I can fill in the gaps. ...

There is now a new folder added to newer disks called BDSVM. Unless it has been somehow magically added to the Blu-ray spec, it really should not be there. That means Blu-ray players will ignore it, but Java code on the disc probably won't. :evil: Do you have a specific example of a movie that has ...

got around it in an ugly way by editing the properties file to skip the bd+ check. dont think that's correct in practice, but worked for me here.

The Backup doesn't play do to BDJ errors, plays the FOX fanfare but then goes to the red screen. As this is the first error I'm reporting unsure what I'm supposed to provide so any help would be appreciated. found the BDJ thread below about what to archive up and mail a link. did that, hopefully tha...
