Did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but I've tried ripping the Top Gun Blu-ray multiple times and keep getting this error:

Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/00001.M2ts' at offset '14588313600'

I've ripped maybe 20 Blu-rays in the past with MakeMKV and have never had a problem with a disc until now. With the Top Gun disc, however, it gets about halfway done, the disc stops spinning, and then I get the message mentioned above.

I'm on an early 2009 MacBook Pro running OSX Lion 10.7.2 with MakeMKV 1.7.0.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The error literally means the drive can't read the disc.

This is not a copy protection issue. There is no copy protection that can cause this.

There are 2 possibilities:
1. The disc is damaged, dirty, or poorly manufactured.
2. Your drive is failing.

Option 1 is much more likely, return it and get a new disc.

Cool, thanks. I'm a bit new to this whole thing, but that makes sense. I'll see what I can do.

You're welcome! I'm just glad you didn't try and tell me any of these things:

• "The disc looks fine!"
• "It plays ok in my blu-ray player!"
• "I've already swapped it twice and I get the same error again!"

The answer to each of these replies is:
1. You can't always see the defect.
2. Ripping a disc requires bit-for-bit perfection in the rip process; playback does not.
3. Lots of times a bad batch will be pressed.

Anyway, good luck and post back if you have more issues!
