I just tried to rip these and all 4 the disc 'failed to open'.

I can submit dumps if needed.

You should submit dumps, as my copies are all working as of this morning.

Thanks!

Before I submitted dumps, I tried to rip them again and all four worked. So Mike must have fixed it in between my attempts :D

Wow, @lfoust thanks for the link to TheDiscDb website.

This will be of great help to me in naming extras. I also just discovered that Bluray.com reviews often have a list of extras at the bottom of the review page.

Are you the creator of this site? Many thanks!

Yes, I am the creator of this site. So far I have just been adding my own collection on there but I am working towards accepting user submissions to have a more robust list of titles available.

I'm having issues with Dracula and Frankenstein in the 4K 'Classic Monsters' set...but have successfully ingested The Invisible Man and The Wolf Man. Its sporadic whether the disc can get mounted and when it does, it get's far along on each and then fails...any ideas? Are these 100GB discs AND using some convoluted shuffling of content across the disc, they seem to give my LG drive quite the 'workout.'

Clean the disc thoroughly. Even if the disc looks perfect.

The method I've found the most success with is at the kitchen sink, put a liberal amount of liquid dish soap on the shinny side. Then hold the disc so both of my thumbs are on the soap side, run a little water on it and really use my thumbs to clean it, then thoroughly rinse it off.

I set it on a paper towel, then flip it over. This gets most of the water off, then let it air dry and then clean again with a microfiber cloth before trying to rip again (the type of micro fiber used to clean eyeglasses).

I've had some discs that I cleaned 2-3 times before I had success. Out of the 2,500 discs I've ripped, I have less than 10 that I couldn't get to work.

Yeah, please let us know if you get user submissions set up! I'd love to be able to help where I can
