Bottom line to this Bohemian Rhapsody UHD is I finally ended up getting it ripped. BUT......I do not understand how it happened. Maybe someone could shed some light on it for me in case it happens again. I really just don't like not knowing.
The disc was purchased in Melbourne Australia, I attempted to rip it on the LG BU40N external I have. It would get about 2/3 in and just stop ripping. The read would drop to zero. I also noticed that Zero Bytes were in the finder window, yes, using a Mac. After 4 attempts I gave up this way.
So, I then went to File>>Backup and saved the entire disk to my SSD drive, that seemed to work fine. I then played the BDMV file via VLC and it played fine also from the backeu up file on my SSD drive.
Finally, I thought now that I have the full backup on the SSD, what if I now directed MakeMKV to the the SSD contents and make a .mkv file from that. Would it again fail, or would it rip.
Well, to my surprise, it ripped fine. So, I do not understand WHY it would work via this method, but NOT ripping directly from the drive. I have had no issues with several other UHD's ripped to date, just this one.
Any ideas from people way smarter than me when it comes to understanding ripping.
