On dual layer discs, the second layer starts at the outside of the disc and spirals towards the inner ring. Hence the read speed slows down as the laser head moves back towards the middle. D'oh, how did I not realise that :oops: While I'm here I might as well mention the speeds I've been getting on...

According to photo comparisons and anecdotes, it seems Asus DRW-24D5MT and LG GH24NSD1 may be using the same internal hardware. In that case I have ordered a LiteOn iHAS324 which should be different hardware. I'm not confident it will be any faster than the 12MB/sec average of the Asus, but it's wor...

Did some discs with the Asus DRW-24D5MT. A typical dual layer DVD takes about 11 minutes to dump and has a speed profile like this according to DVD Decrypter: https://b.l3n.co/i/V8Big5.png I was expecting it to stay at max speed once it reached it, but for some reason it always gets slower again tow...

MakeMKV can use more than one drive at the same time. Turn on 'Ask for single drive mode' in MakeMKV's preferences. That's the fastest way to rip to a bunch of discs. Ok thanks, I will try that. After some searching I got the impression that USB drives won't be as fast due to power limits or whatev...

Try ripping the entire disc to an .iso file using DVD Decrypter, eject the disc, then try opening the .iso in MakeMKV.

Hello, newbie here. Could anyone recommend a fast USB drive for ripping DVDs with MakeMKV? Preferably region free, but it seems MakeMKV and DVD Decrypter can bypass region restriction (is that normal? Is it reliable or should I expect to flash the firmware?). I've been using a couple of cheap laptop...

I can't rip DVDs with a different regional code. I need to either change my regional code, but I only have one change left, or patch the firmware, but couldn't find anything fitting on tdb.rpc1.org. Can anyone tell me, how to bypass the RPC protection of a MATSHITA BD-MLT UJ260, or how to bypass th...

DVD discs are so weird! I've bought new releases which were printed in 2020 and still had some random discs which appeared visually flawless but wouldn't read. After a wipe with warm water and a tissue they read perfectly. I am convinced there is some kind of invisible residue on discs from the fact...

Thanks, in that case it is probably not MakeMKV's fault. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue as it just occurs randomly. For now I'm going to use a different HDD and then do the ffmpeg check on all output mkvs. I did notice the checksums were never the same on any mkvs - I figured this must be...

Hello, I'm having a weird issue with corruption of the mkv's which MakeMKV is producing. It has happened about half a dozen times now, causing my entire media library to have a big question mark hanging over it whether the occasional mkv will be corrupt when it comes time to screening them. I am not...
