Empty File Created (South Park)

Post by atlantaswl »

I've got this drive:

Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Current profile: DVD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: DRW-24B3ST j
Revision: 1.11
Serial number: J8D0CL025401
Highest AACS version: 62

and MakeMKV reports this in the Disc Info:

Label: SOUTH_PARK_VOLUME_2
Timestamp: 1998-09-28 12:48:38
Data capacity: 4.22 Gb
Disc type: DVD-ROM
Disc size: 120mm
Maximum read rate: 10.08 Mbps [1x]
Number of layers: 1 (PTP)

When ripping begins, MakeMKV creates the title file, but the size is 0 and remains there, while the read spead increases upwards of 3.5X and slowly drops. Nothing is written to the output file.

Any/all help is appreciated.

MakeMKV may have been writing all along... Both Windows Explorer and MacOS Finder have times when they will acknowledge that a file has been created, but will NOT update its size on a regular basis. Sometimes, Explorer won't even acknowledge that the file has been created, if it's on a network share.
