edit: Oh !@#$! I am out of disk space again, but why doesn't MakeMKV *say that* instead of these cryptic Debug Codes?

It seems that MakeMKV is constantly failing because of two main reasons, neither of which is made clear to the user by MakeMKV:
1) out of disk space
2) bad DVD/blu-ray disc.

I don't understand why the makemkv "console" log (not the System syslog "console") is different from the makemkv logfile. but whatever.

So, here is a prime example of what I was asking about earlier. MakeMKV spends something like an hour ripping data for this 18gb track, saving saving saving saving.... and then after saving GBs of data it suddenly decides to bail, leaving NO DATA SAVED AT ALL. IMHO, the default should be to pop up a dialog box saying something like "Oh noes! MakeMKV encountered a <specific?> error, the data saved is not complete! Do you want to keep what we managed to rip, or delete it?"

PS: and a really cool feature would be for MakeMKV to do several things re. space:

1) Predict the amount of HD space that will be needed and FOREwarn the user to clear out enough space before MakeMKV rips enough to fill the drive.

2) PAUSE, rather than quit or crash, when the drive gets full; then pop up a message telling the user that the drive is full and he needs to delete some stuff before MakeMKV can continue (maybe offer the OPTION of deleting the rip in progress, but NOT throw out an hour's worth of work!

Thanks for reading.

This is exactly what it does ( or at least supposed to do). Did you get an error because your drive was full or because the drive was formatted as FAT and couldn't hold data bigger than 4 GB? What OS are you using?
