feature request for v1.17.10 (ignore read errors option)

[mas1701]

Hi,

instead of more "version bumps" without any further changes, how about an option to silently ignore read errors during full disc backup?

It has been often discussed that MakeMKV aborts full disk backup even if there is only a tiny error in a file that isn't even important for the disc to work.

So why not have an option to ignore these read errors? Just skip the faulty sector (replacing the content will all-zero bytes) and create a log entry like "read error in file x at offset y - writing zeros instead (file corrupted)"?

That should not be hard to do.

Thanks,

This capability would have been helpful for me during the James Cameron releases last year. I went through 3 copies of Aliens and one of the discs had different errors. With this capability, I might have been able to "piece together" a good backup.
