I seem to be having trouble copying episode 1x07 off Season 1 Disc 2. When I start up MakeMKV I get the following in the logs

Is anyone else having trouble with this? This copy of the show is from Amazon, so I guess I can try to exchange for a new set of discs since one is having trouble being read. The rest of the show copied fine; it's just this one having problems.

[leethompson]

I would say disc is dirty or scratched.

[ReticulateLemur]

I don't think it's an issue with dirty or scratched discs. They're brand new, no damage, and I used a lens cloth to wipe them down. Super frustrating :/

[Woodstock]

Google says this is a Pioneer slim portable drive, powered by USB.

USB-powered drives are subject to shutting down when they're spun up to full speed, unless they are WELL powered. Standard USB ports on computers are barely adequate for full-speed operation. Some drives require power from TWO fully-powered USB ports to go full speed.

When they run out of power, you get errors like:

Code: Select all

Error 'OS error - STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR' occurred while reading '\Device\CdRom0' at offset '24337512448'
Error 'Scsi error - HARDWARE ERROR:441E' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/00356.m2ts' at offset '4838780928'
Error 'OS error - STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR' occurred while reading '\Device\CdRom0' at offset '4838780928'

The drive goes too fast, shuts down, resets, and comes back on line. The operating system, on the other hand, is going nuts over the disappearance.

There is no mechanism within MakeMKV to deliberately slow the optical drive down. The easiest I know of is to slow the WRITING down.

Easy way: A USB 2.0 flash drive. Pick up a (now cheap) 128GB unit, format it either NTFS or ExFAT, and use it as the destination. It will slow the drive down enough to let it complete the rip.

By the way - this is mentioned in the first message of the topic If you're experiencing rip errors, please read here first! at the top of this forum.

[ReticulateLemur]

I had an external harddrive laying around that I plugged in and then tried to copy episode off, but it threw the same errors. I'm hesitant to buy another drive to see if that's the problem, but I'm thinking it's either that or try and get new discs.

If you're not seeing errors about "reading faster than it can write", you're not slowing MakeMKV down yet. That's why I suggested a flash drive; they have slow write rates. The errors are in different places, which supports this possibility.

Is the Pioneer drive plugged into the computer, or a hub? Hubs divide the available power among their ports, unless they have a separate power supply. Desktop computer USB ports are supposed to have full power (2.5 watts for USB2) available. My LG can pull up to 8 watts at full speed; It came with a two-head cable to power it.

[ReticulateLemur]

It's plugged into the ports on the front of the computer (I have a two-headed cable too), but I can swap things around and try plugging into the ports directly on the mainboard. I'll give that a try while I look for a large enough flash drive.

[Woodstock]

Front ports may or may not be plugged into the motherboard, unfortunately. Especially if there are "media ports" around them, like on my Dells. The MB port connects to a hub that feeds all the flash memory ports AND the two USB ports. If you have USB3 ports on the back, those are "almost" guaranteed to have full power available.

[ReticulateLemur]

OK, moved the reader so both ports are plugged into the back and plugged a flash drive into the front ports. Tried copying the episode off and I'm still hitting errors. I'm starting to think it's just a problem with the discs themselves at this point.
