Fine, lock the thread, ignore the problem, like all ripping software does. We're at a point in time where many people have accumulated many many discs over the years, new discs, used discs, burned discs long forgotten that get dug up years later, with data in varying states of decay. And my cherry o...

You have a very dismissive attitude towards the entire concept of data recovery...

What you are essentially saying is that it's better for software to decide for me what I want, rather than having a choice what I want. I hate programmers that have that attitude towards software. I'M the end user, I KNOW WHAT I WANT! I WANT AN OPTION TO GET ALL THE DAMN DATA I CAN OFF OF THE CRAPPY...

I'm trying to justify taking what has the potential to be a great product, and fixing it.

Heck, even when it does work, it fails to make an exact copy!

If the purpose of MakeMKV is to give you an exact copy, and the output is nothing, I'd say that's a pretty damn big failure!

The bottom line here is that this program regularly has problems with clean out of the shrinkwrap disks that standard DVD players can playback and handle with error correction. The data is completely recoverable in most cases, as standard players will play them and error correct, and convoluted tool...

Here's an idea..... .....instead of requiring me to figure out how to use impossible to figure out horribly designed software to fix discs that your half-assed software doesn't want to read properly, HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY MAKING A VERSION OF MAKEMKV THAT CAN ACTUALLY READ A FUCKING DISK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?...

Well, it seems ddrescue still doesn't help with the piece of crap that is makemkv. Between it not being able to complete a task, even with a ddrescue rip, and it requiring me to reinstall and apply a key every damn time I go to use it - it is more hassle than it's worth. I've had it! Off to find som...

Spent the cash for the Windows version - it's an unusable pile of crap. Can this be used to read a problem DVD? Is that even a thing this thing does? I mean - the DVD is commercial and encrypted, so doesn't it need to be decrypted? But heck - I can't even find any way to point this thing to my dvd d...

Just spent the past hour trying to figure out how to install ddrescue. Any software that after an hour of research, still cannot be installed, is clearly not programmed by anyone with any level of competence. I am so sick and tired of the attitude so many programmers have these days that, if it is h...

Ugh.....ddrescue is some linux bs crap that is impossible to use.

Thanks, I will give that a try. In this case I am ripping a brand new just opened box set - 2 discs giving me problems. It was an ebay purchase, so I was hoping to get what I need off of the discs rather than make an ebay seller take a hit on someone else's quality control issues.

And I'm saying aborting on error is not what I as the end user want. And every damn piece of software does that. Come on - give us a tool to deal with problem discs already! At least give me a setting I can enable to allow the finishing of ripping a disc past an error - otherwise I have absolutely n...

If you're mapping a road in Kentucky, and there's a section of road that is washed out - is it acceptable to create a map that says "the world ends here" despite there being miles of completed, useable road, past the blocked spot?
