Help needed - one episode left

Post by laurine »

Hi!
I've recently started using MakeMKV and so far I encountered no issues, until I arrived at the final season of a show I am working on.
Every episode was just fine, except one. I've had no issues with the other episodes on the same disc, using the same drive, but this one is extremely stubborn.
I tried copying the disk to my PC and using that file - to no avail. I set the program to Expert Mode and used CellTrim and CellWalk, which also didn't work.

This is the error message I'm getting:

Die Quell-Datei '/BDMV/STREAM/00002.m2ts' ist defekt oder ungültig bei Offset 5031131136. Es wird versucht, dies zu umgehen

translated: source is defective or invalid. Trying to circumvent.

I have no issues watching the episode using the same drive, and as I said, all other episodes were fine.

I hope someone has a few tips :)

"Watching" vs. "Ripping" are two different things. Watching can (and often does) skip over unreadable sections. Ripping insists on ripping a one-for-one copy of the disk.

For example, I just tried ripping a disk where one episode refuses to rip. The other 12 are just fine. Two different drives, and two cleanings, were unable to get that episode to rip. Finally ripped the DVD copy of it to finish the set.
