Getting Bluescreens at 99.xx% completion on SOME DVDs only

Post by Marco2G »

Description of problem or question:
I've been using Handbrake with DVDFab Passkey for months. I have ripped dozens of DVDs without an issue until yesterday. I tried rippint a German Gruffelo DVD for the kids. It died at 99.7% ever. Single. Time. In the end I used DVDFab's ripper and that worked fine.

Today I ripped German Avatar: The Last Airbender. I got through the first two seasons without issue. The last DVD in the third season gives me trouble. The first of six episodes again died at 99.5%. I then tried running only the second episode. Worked like a charm. I then queed the rest... It's still running.

So it seems that some videofiles manage to get the system to crash. I've tried rippong to another disk drive as I thought maybe at that point it's accessing the disk to finalize but it didn't help.

Will run a memtest86 next.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Try to rip either the Gruffalo or this specific Avatar episode.


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.2.2 and 1.3.3


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Windows 10 Home 20H2

What is makemkv.

Why do you think that makes a difference?

Makemkv is a ripper. Pretty much the best out there.

Sooooo why would I try this? I'm trying to rip with Handbrake. If I wanted another ripper, I could just as well use the DVDFab one, which has already proven to work.

Makemkv is a ripper, HB is a video converter.

Rip first then encode with HB, this might fix your issues.

To get it to work, I don’t mind if you don’t want to do it but it’s the recommended workflow.

It will probably not be twice the work as you can be ripping other discs while your videos are encoding.

If you want HB to work try ripping with makemkv, if you want to use DVDFab then use DVDFab.
