MakeMKV was working fine for the past two weeks. Suddenly every movie I try to rip is getting this message
Error 'OS error - {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful' occurred while writing data to 'Z:/Plex/Shared Movies/blurays/~movie~.mkv' at offset '0'
Failed to save title 0 to file Z:/Plex/Shared Movies/blurays/~movie~.mkv
0 titles saved, 1 failed

I have tried uninstalling and rebooting but still same error. PLEASE HELP. I have a brand new LG external Bluray player that I've been using and all 15 discs that I've tried are clean with no scratches.

Is the drive full? Do you have write permission for "Z:/Plex/Shared Movies/blurays/~movie~.mkv"? Is there an existing file by that same name that has attributes set to not be overwritten?

Those are the "most popular" things that the error points to.

Drive has 3T left. I’ve already ripped 42 movies to my external “z:” drive so I’m assuming I have permission. No existing file with that name. I’ve tried 15 other Blu-ray Discs and they are all doing the same thing.

How is your external drive powered? If it’s USB, it needs to be fully powered, or it can cut out while ripping.

It is USB, but why would it work fine for two weeks and now suddenly stop?

With a drive letter of Z, I'll assume this is a network drive. Did you try resetting the NAS?

Do you have room on the local drive to rip, then move to the NAS?

During my installs this week I saw this same error multiple times but only when using
(I think) the unpatched LibreDrive with a WD Elements USB3 drive.

I discovered after much testing the WD drive had gone faulty and would
also crash out during long copies - The drive works fine if I plug it into a USB2.0 socket
but cannot cope with USB 3.0 anymore. A surface scan and WD diag of the drive
reported no errors at all.

I assume the interface board inside the drive has gone faulty somehow.
It may be worth checking out anyway.

Thanks all! For whatever reason, it stopped recognizing the external drive. I can’t get it to work, so I’m just putting my movies on my C: drive and then moving them to the external from there.
