Experiencing little hiccups in some DVD rips

[mike admin]

I'm still interested in knowing how to detect this situation from the log files and am willing to send in my DVD if it would help improve things.

I am a little concerned since I did notice other hiccups in other rips that it will be difficult tracking all of these issues down. I don't have the time to diligently watch every movie after I rip it to check for issues, which is why knowing what to spot in the log file could be useful.

These are the errors from your log:

Ok, thanks. Perhaps it would be worthwhile posting a sticky with this information and updating it for new versions of MakeMKV.

So, is there any other advice or suggested things for me to try with this disc? Thanks.

Just a follow up. My friend suggested I try DVDFab for Windows, since he says it works great for him. So, I ripped "Meet The Robinsons" with DVDFab's DVD Ripper evaluation version and it appears to work correctly. I don't notice any hiccups and the beginning in sound or video. This leads me to believe that this could be a MakeMKV bug.

Further, I have two discs ("P.S. I Love You" and "Final Destination 3") that would not save at all with MakeMKV, but appear to rip with no issue with DVDFab's DVD Ripper. Since I'm not a Windows user and would prefer to use Linux or Mac (and I've already paid for MakeMKV), I'd love to be able to use it instead of a Windows-only solution.

Let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks.
