No ignore errors?

Post by madeinlisboa »

Hi. Why there isn't an option to ignore read errors? MakeMKV fails to read discs with read errors instead of skipping the error, which means that discs with unreadable sectors cannot be copied. That doesn't make sense.

"Ignore errors" goes against the design of MakeMKV.

Payback software settles for a "good enough" copy. Missing sectors? Just jump the playback ahead to get past them. The audio and video glitches will flash past fast enough that user might not notice them.

But ripping software tries very hard to get you an EXACT copy of what is on the disk. Skipping sectors could screw up many things down the line. So programs like MakeMKV do not ignore errors.

I'm trying to save an original disk with a scratch. Honestly, it depends on the user decision if he wants errors skipped or not, not MakeMKV's programmer. If the program doesn't help, I'll move along.
