NCIS Season 20 DVDs disks won't rip

Post by peterhocking »

I recently bought Season 20 of NCIS on DVD which is a 6 disk set. The first 4 disks just fine with Makemkv, but the last 2 disks can't be ripped. When I go to open the disks in Makemkv, i get a series of errors & then it only "sees" one of the 4 episodes. I have it set to ignore anything under 20 minutes in length.

Below is the log file output

MakeMKV v1.17.5 win(x64-release) started
Using LibreDrive mode (v06.3 id=7FA2657C7667)
Using direct disc access mode
Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB' at offset '0'

Title #1 was added (6 cell(s), 0:40:49)
Title #2 (0:43:02) was skipped due to navigation error
Cells 1-1 were removed from title start
Title #3 declared length is 0:34:58 while its real length is 0:00:00 - assuming fake title
Title #4 in broken titleset was skipped
Operation successfully completed


I'm using MakeMKV v1.17.5 under Windows 11. Any ideas on what is causing this?

Code: Select all

Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB' at offset '0'
That error often indicates the optical drive was unable to correctly the disc. The standard advice is to gently clean the disc and try again.

I'm pretty sure that I had problems ripping this with my LG drive too. I did manage to recover more episodes after cleaning and repeated attempts. My external Pioneer-based drive didn't have a problem though.
