I have tried polishing the disc with car wax, because it had some hardly visible scratches.
The result is even worse, scratches abundant. It's a write-off, unfortunately.

DEBUG: Code 100809218
I tried to rip a box set containing 3 dvd discs. Two of them ripped fine, but one of them does not. After inserting the disc into the reader, I get the following error in the log: DEBUG: Code 100809218 at XLZy#@p!6m/^{4B`f):121263429 before being able to open the disc in Makemkv. In the information ...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
Certainly a very impressive amount of data, but can you give me an example what to do with it? The people using MakeMKV might be very diverse. I am just an ordinary ripper with a large dvd collection that got tired of those cumbersome discs, prone to scratches and with a limited life span (as they s...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
I can hardly believe that no one has mentioned MediaInfo , which would have to be one of the most useful programs out there when it comes to diagnosing problems. Excuse me for my ignorance, but where would you use that for? What kind of information can it provide on an mkv file that ctrl-j in vlc o...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
Thank you for the link. It might come in handy some time. On rare occasions where IMDB does not have the information I need, I usually resort to Wikipedia. But it is always good to have an additional source available. I was a bit too optimistic about 10 minute ripping time. It can vary a lot. Some d...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
Yep, single mode is what I do. I have 2 dvd-readers and 1 bluray reader. I consider 10 minutes not too bad for a single movie. Anyway, ripping the dvd's is not the bottleneck, organizing can be and editing after the rip certainly is. That is the reason I want to minimize the number of tools and only...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
99% of my videos are pre 2010, so HD (1280x720) at the most. That works fine over my wifi and there is still plenty of bandwidth left for other devices. But I must admit the situation could be quite different in case of higher resolution videos like 4K. In the latter case I would still have the opti...

Re: My favourite 5 video tools
Do you actually use all that stuff? I have used MKVToolNix a few times, it’s ok, but I don’t need it for every dvd that I rip. Have used it in the past to split episodes that were in 1 video file, to merge videos that were in seperate video files and to change the name of a language track. I tried S...

Re: Where can I buy legitimate copies of tv shows?
I appreciate the effort, but I need so many more ... i.e. The Fall Guy, In the Heat of the Night, LA Law, Ironside, Thirtysomething, Dragnet, Fantasy Island, Love Boat, The Monkees, Dear John, etc., etc., ... And I generally buy only complete shows, because I know I want the complete thing eventuall...

Re: Where can I buy legitimate copies of tv shows?
Thx for the links, I wasn’t familiar with some of them. However, I actually meant tv shows, not movies. The majority of movies are not impossible to lay a hand on. TV-shows, like the ones I mentioned, but many more, are much more arduous. Many of the tv shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are close...

Where can I buy legitimate copies of tv shows?
I wonder where I can purchase legitimate copies of tv shows. I am especially interested in American, British, Dutch and German retro tv shows, but it is really hard to find them once you’ve got the readily available ones. Examples of rare finds are Barnaby Jones, Marcus Welby M.D., Spin City, I, Spy...

MakeMKV never fails if disc is 100% clean
I have used MakeMKV for about a year or so and have ripped many hundreds of dvd discs and a few blurays. So far, MakeMKV has never failed me, if the discs are 100% clean and have no scratches. If a dvd disc is not sufficiently clean, a READ or MEDIUM error may ensue, but other debug messages are als...

This is my topic:
Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?

where I wrongly talk about rewritable dvd’s. That should be recordable dvd’s.
