Watchable DVD but only 6 of 12 files copy?

Post by Thing1b »

Donating my copy of a doc to a library, so I wanted to MakeMKV a copy beforehand.

No luck. Same 6 of 12 files keep copying (but not one of the three main feature files). Clean, smooth, not blemished surface, restarting both app and computer… Any suggestions? Any thoughts?

No information on why the failures occur, so really hard to say why and how to fix.

Yes, apologies, pretty sparse, but I was baffled that a watchable movie, a low budget doc no less, would fail a MakeMKV copy. Figured, it must be a thing.

So, I bought more copies, two more (so, three in total), but every one – all brand new DVDs – failed the main feature…

The only notes; “The source file XXXXXX is corrupt or invalid at offset #####, attempting to work around” of which there were five instances, yet four tried twice,* then the next instance popped up…

* Preferences/IO/read retry count is “6.”

Changed (checked) Preferences/General/Log debug messages and Preferences/General/Show AV synchronization messages.

Changed Preferences/IO/Mac OS X *_KEY_V2 ground type, to 2.

Ran it again, and after the same ‘workaround’ notes I now see “DEBUG: Code 1730 at W.)zml@Tw’C!Z)8V3\:29393746”

Below that: “LIBMKV_TRACE: exception: MKV_ASSERT: TimecodeDelay >= int16(0x8000) && TimecodeDelay <= int16(0x7FFF)

Any thoughts?
