MakeMKVcon fails to read discs

epsilon0 · Post by **epsilon0** » Thu Jun 13, 2024 11:32 pm

Trying to rip Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator: Salvation using makemkvcon (1.17.7) on a Gentoo linux machine, using an LG BP60NB10 drive with LibreDrive.

When using info, mkv, and backup commands the program fails to detect the AACS directory on the discs (AACS directory not present, assuming unencrypted disc) and during backup I see Content hash table missing, unable to verify integrity of M2TS files warnings.

Discs are part of a six disc box set. I have purchased a second set, initially suspecting a bad disc, but get the same behavior. I've seen other posts suggesting these errors indicate the discs are counterfit, but I'm hesitant to jump to that conclusion seeing as how the other discs in each set are fine. Funny thing is using HandBrakeCLI reads both of these discs just fine. Backing up the discs to file appears to work and I can play the m2ts streams from the backup.

Anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on? I'm leaning towards an internal makemkv error.

HandBrake has exited.

Those messages aren't really errors per se. You were able to make a backup of the full disc, right?

Most movies usually come encrypted with AACS, so being able to view the discs plainly with Handbrake does suggest (to me at least) that it's an unusual disc, if not counterfeit. How big was the backup? Was it something in the ~~40 watt range~~

~40 gigabyte range? If the total size is closer to 25gb, that'd also count as unusual.

Thanks. These are definitely unusual. The directory sizes are listed below:

Code: Select all

Terminator_3:_Rise_of_the_Machines_(2003)
22K     ./MAKEMKV
15K     ./CERTIFICATE
23G     ./BDMV

Terminator_Salvation_(2009)
90K     ./CERTIFICATE
22G     ./BDMV
122K    ./MAKEMKV

These all appear to be burned discs (BD-R), based on their data layer appearance. Going to look into it further to see if this is a bad manufacturing run or bad counterfeits.

segfaulted · Post by **segfaulted** » Sun Jun 16, 2024 5:42 am

Those characteristics are screaming "counterfeit discs" in my mind.

No AACS encryption?
Less than 25GB (single-layer disc) for a whole movie?
Bluish/purple colored underside?

None of those are manufacturing failures.
