I just started getting into Blu-ray ripping. And I've been on a frenzy, ripping whatever I can get my hands on...lol
I want to see what are other people's experiences on how successfully they are at ripping blu-ray. And throw in a little info on your setup.
I've probably done over 100 discs so far, with a combination of mostly Blu-rays with a 10-20 DVDs...and so far I want to say my failure rate is about a dozen or so...I'll say around 13%. Of those that failed, it's mainly scratches and damages (maybe 65%) and the rest is like relatively damage free. Based on what I'm reading, I assume it's due to imperfection in the disc mastering process.
I have use a combination of 4 drives: WH16NS40, 43890 with UD03, BDR-212V, and a 43888 with BU40N...on 4 different Macs (2 2015 macbook/pro, 1 2019 imac, and a m1 macbook pro). I find the WH16NS40 to be the least reliable but also the fastest and nosiest (my god it's loud). The UD03 and 212V picked up some disc that's not rippable on the WH16NS40. Of the two surprisingly I find the UD03 but be not as sensitive to imperfection as the 212V. It's weird I'm not sure if it's just the drive I have. And surprisingly the BU40N picks up quite a bit too and managed to rip one disc that the 212V fails. However the BU40N also failed to rip a few disc the WH16NS40 failed at. So it's literally in between the WH16NS40 and the two pioneer drives.
