Just use the --noscan option. I use 5 drives simultaneously from the command line (C++) and I don't have an issue.

A HDD is already magnitudes faster than an optical drive. Writing to something even faster isn't going to make the ripping go any quicker. The optical drive is the bounding resource in this situation.

MakeMKV has an issue with the 25th Anniversary release of "Rain Man." (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Rain-Man-Blu-ray/95064/). It is a BD-J disc. It will rip it to a folder successfully, but the results are unplayable in PowerDVD (I tried 3 different versions. All up-to-date). A screen co...

This is a known issue with that DVD, you need to fix the transparency or else the subtitles are invisible. I extracted them, ran them through bdsup2sub with the --fix-invisible option, and remuxed them into the mkv file. Some DVD rippers like AnyDVD (if you can still run it) or XReveal have a settin...

I'm sure it has more to do with the cleanings and multiple attempts to read an iffy disc than it does your hot breath.

I just play the Blu-ray in PowerDVD and use Process Monitor to see what the mpls numbers are. I use filters to ignore everything that isn't for PowerDVD. People often say this doesn't work anymore, but I've never had a problem with it. I then look for the mpls numbers in MakeMKV. If it's not found, ...

Using mkvtoolnix, there should be no decompression/recompression though. In the end, I managed to follow the mkvtoolnix procedure using original index.bdmv files and ended up with one mkv file exactly as described. And since I used bdmv files, no decompression/recompression was used for sure. Just ...

I simply extract both titles with MakeMKV and concatenate with mkvmerge. Nothing is lost. The chapters are there; the meta-data is fine. The "break" between the two halves is fine.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, man!

Do you now if this will always be the case (i.e., it's impossible) or is it being worked on?

Is this drive flashable? I think not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Laserdiscs don’t have a file structure, they’re much closer to a VHS tape than a DVD. Your best bet would to hook a Laserdisc player to a video capture card.

Agreed. LaserDisc is analog, not digital. A video capture card is the way to go.

Front USB ports are often under-powered.

Or just an unfortunate choice of error code? Tried to start it up on my Mint desktop today and I got a popup with this message: "NO_ANSWER_FROM_MAKEMKVCON" If I start it from the cli, I also see it failing to open /usr/bin/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1...

Can you be more specific about what 'artifacts on the file' means? Did MakeMKV have any errors or other messages in the log while you were doing the rip? Can you post it here? I think the problem has gone away for now. There were these green horizontal rectangles which appeared when I scrub the thr...
