Issues reading Disks

Post by AwShoot »

Hello Everyone,

I have been having issues with reading some of our Discs and curious if trying to get another Better Drive would help, or if it is just the discs?

The first was a BluRay Godfather Disc 2, then 4K Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle, then DVD 10,000BC, followed by Alias Season 2 Disks 5 and 6.

I started this in the DVD chat since I have been digging into the DVD issue more.

For instance I have an internal ASUS Blue Ray Drive, an External Virbatim with a UB40, then another ASUS DVD Burner and regular HP DVD drive.

The ASUS Blue ray says nothing is in the drive, UB40 shows fighting with it then nothing, the HP DVD finds nothing, and the ASUS DVD drive finds 3 out of the 4 Episodes on Disc 5 and 1 out of the 2 episodes on Disc 6.

From there I checked out Season 2 from the Library and aneither disc works in any of the drives.

I'm still waiting on the Godfather series to make it to my Library so I can test that as well, but really trying to figure out if a better drive like a Pioneer of other internal drive might smooth out ripping?

When I googled Alias Season 2, it seemed like others have had this same issue with season 2's discs.

Main PC is a Mini-ITX build that I built for running VMs so there is no internal Optical slot. The ones with Optical space are older PCs I was going to recycle, but kept in use for Ripping.

I have ripped a LOT of Bluray, regular and 4K as well as many DVDs so these 5 are frustraiting, especially when 2 of them were fresh out of sealed sets. I have gently cleaned them with no change.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!
