Sorry about that. The first episodes on each disc won't rip. Maybe this might help.

You probably should update to 1.8.11, but that doesn't look to be the problem here. This is:

Code: Select all

Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:UNRECOVERED READ ERROR' occurred while reading '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB' at offset '989184'

The drive says it can't read part of the disk. Things you can try:

Clean the disk. Yes, it may look clean, but there can be minor scratches that will interfere with the laser. I clean with spray furniture polish (Pledge brand works), because it cuts fingerprints, and fills in minor scratches. Soft cloth! I have special cotton towels I keep clean for that purpose, but others use cotton T-shirt scraps.

Increase the number of retries. Tools->IO, the default is 5. This tells MakeMKV to ask the operating system to try more times. Sometimes, it helps.

If you have a different disk drive, try it. The lasers in different drives have slightly different alignments; I have 3 BD and 4 DVD drives of various vintages for when the main ones can't read.

Sometimes, the disk is just bad. I had to get one disk replaced twice before it was readable, because the first two were from a batch with problems.

10 years after this thread started, I am now having the same issue.

Do you have a drive or drives that you'd suggest? My media server has a DVD drive, but I need to purchase a Blu-Ray Drive. If I could get a Blu-Ray Drive that is ALSO able to read this DVD, that would be great...

Thanks in advance.
