Corrupted Movie Rips

Post by Archbishopfocwod »

I've noticed a recurring issue with video corruption in the last dozen or so movies I've ripped. The corruption appears periodically and is repeatable at the same timestamp.

To troubleshoot, I've tried ripping to different hard drives, but the issue persists, though at different points in the movie. Additionally, I re-ripped a movie that I had successfully ripped years ago, and it now also exhibits the same corruption issues that were not present in the original rip.

Given that I've ruled out multiple hard drives and multiple movies, and the issue remains with the Blu-ray drive as the only constant variable, would it be accurate to assume that my Blu-ray drive is failing?

Do different players show similar corruption? By that I mean does VLC and MPV (or whatever your favorite players are) both show a corrupted file?

Yes, they do. Although the corruption looks slightly different depending on which player is being used.

Don't play from optical drive. Rip to HDD and play it from there. The issue is yours and not related to Makemkv.
