Unless your reading drive has write capabilities AND it is reading a writable disk, it's simply not possible.

Well, it is possible that the laser could scratch the disk (a problem with some older drives with misaligned laser assemblies), but generally no.

One problem with this is that sometimes, the retries aren't in MakeMKV's hands. The operating system controls retries most of the time, and it's only after the OS gives up that the retry settings in MakeMKV become a factor.

This is most notable if you try to abort the rip when the retries start ...

There is also the possibility that the blue laser failed. That other disk was a BD, hopefully, to test that.

"No disk" typically means that nothing was detected in the drive. Have you tried cleaning the disk, then retrying?

Normally, it will say on the label what codecs are used. Taking a typical BD movie disk from the pile behind me, there is a section of the back that specifies that English is available as "DTS-HD Master Audio", which means that DTS-HD Master Audio is the MOST COMPLEX audio... but, under normal ...

Have you tried asking MakeMKV what it sees? You can expand the data in the left-hand menu to see what each track is.

Giving people some information about errors received would be normal, when sending a message in this thread. The first message in the topic describes what is needed.

The MT1939 drive will work fine with non-UHD disks. It's only if you want to rip UHD that you'll need a newer drive.

What about the "BDR-S12U"? Is that what you used to read the dump file? If so, where is it?

Subtitles are a problem, in that there is no consistency in how they're presented.

There are several ways that they can be provided, using one or more tracks per language. The most usual is a track for "all subtitles", and a track for "forced only" subtitles (those used for signs and such ...

If it is incorrect, it has been that way back as far as this computer has copies of MakeMKV, dating back to July of 2010, almost 16 years ago.

Personally, I would guess it's written in Greek, like some of the other languages are written in the language they represent.

The domain name was renewed for a single year (expires again in June 2027). We should remind Mike that it's coming up again in May...

The errors look like what you get when the drive is spun too fast for its power supply, and it shuts down. Does it spin down about the time the error occurs?

How did you enter the key? Did you use Copy/Paste?

If so, windows users (especially) have to be careful that Microsoft did not "grab" too many characters.

Copy the key from the web page. Paste it into (say) notepad. THEN copy and paste the result into MakeMKV. This breaks Windows "helping" with ...

Running the file through a program like handbrake will strip the black bars, making the file smaller.
