Disc Scans for Troubleshooting
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2020 7:10 am
Sometimes when you run into issues with a disc (structural issues in particular), and make a post in the appropriate Disc format subfourm, it can take time to go back and forth on asking for specific disc information, and it may not be easy to arrive at a solution in cases where other members do not have the same disc as you.
The following instructions are aimed at gathering information about a disc that can help in troubleshooting. (Personally, I save these dumps as reference with every disc I rip.)
In a working directory, create a batch file named "discinfo.bat" and edit it with a plain text editor such as Notepad.
Paste the following into the "discinfo.bat" batch file, changing the two instances of "d:" to the drive letter of your disc drive, and changing "c:\progra~2\makemkv\" to the location of your MakeMKV installation.
With the troublesome disc in your disc drive, execute the batch file.
The scan will create two text files in your working directory, the "-disc.txt" directory scan and the "-tree.txt" MakeMKV structure scan. Upload those files as attachments to your thread.
