DVD read goes forever, log shows Exception Error
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:00 pm
Hi all!
I have the (video) DVD that came with Alan Parsons' "A Valid Path", which plays fine and is able to be imaged to disc files without any difficulty. However, I'm unable to run MKV on all of its 'tracks' (for lack of a better term -- please correct my terminology). When presented with the display of what's on the DVD, and what I want it to do, here's what I see:
1: 10 chapters, 1.2 GB (A1)
2: 11 chapter(2), 70.3 MB (D1)
3: 2 chapter(2), 19.9 MB (E4)
4: 2 chapter(s), 335.7 MB (G6)
5: 3 chapter(2), 230.0 MB (C3)
6: 3 chapter(s), 229.4 MB (B4)
7: 3 chapter(s), 517.8 MB (F3)
The first one (A1) won't finish reading -- it just reads and reads and reads (even when allowed to run overnight, it never finishes); the log file shows "001002:0020 LIBMKV_TRACE: Exception: Error while reading input"; however, all of the others read & write just fine.
As mentioned, I created disk images of this (physical) DVD, and MakeMKV has the same problem at the same place when run against those mounted images.
Since I'm able to read all parts of the disc using various programs (which means both the media and the data are valid), how can I get past this? Any suggestions are welcome, and thank you for indulging my newness and ignorance.
Happy Monday!
Dave
