MakeMKV versus Ddrescue when it comes to reporting errors

Post by Kibabdi »

Hello,

It seems like there is a lot of people here who are very familiar with the intricacies of MakeMKV, and I was hoping someone could answer a question for me.

If MakeMKV doesn't report any errors in the output log, can I make the assumption that the media on a disc was read correctly, and that MakeMKV isn't ignoring any irretrievable data?

I ask because I normally use Ddrescue to make ISOs of my discs, but it seems to be having a lot of trouble with some new DVDs. It claims that only 60-something percent of the data on the discs can be retrieved, but MakeMKV reports no warnings or errors at all when creating MKV files. I'm not sure which program to trust.
