Massive visual glitches but no errors logged

Post by holtzman »

I am experiencing massive, consistent visual glitches with certain BDs, but I do not see any errors logged in the output during/after processing, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've cleaned the disks and they are free of scratches (some are brand new).

Please help me figure out what's wrong!

Visual glitch example:

I have had issues with all of these:
Interstellar
Dune - part two
Chronicle
Spiderman - homecoming
Spiderman - far from home

I am using a Verbatim 43888 from Amazon that I flashed, info below:

There are no issues in the log you provided.

What are you playing the generated MKV file with??
Cheers :D

I have been using the default media players on win10 "Movies & TV" and win11 "Media Player" on two different systems with two different BD drives, both with no success for these titles. Your reply prompted me to check with VLC media player...which appears to work for at least a couple of those titles i listed.

Is this expected behavior? Should I always use VLC?

Yeah, don't use the Windows players. Use VLC, MPC-HC or any other popular players.
