Less common reasons for "No valid source or titles found"

Post by dvdcollector »

Description of problem or question:
I'm not posting this under specific OS support forum, as the result I get with those 2 DVDs are the same on different computers with different OSes and different versions of Handbrake, different versions of "libdvdcss-2.dll" (including the newest).

The message Handbrake outputs then, contains some tips for the cause (e.g. too short tracks, or... maybe totally different reasons), and I wonder whether someone could elaborate on that.

So, the funny things:
  1. both DVDs are out of a set of 16 DVDs with movies of the same main actor, and almost all i.e. 14 of them have been processed by HandBrake just fine
  2. in the past, before copying the libdvdcss DLL, I could not read some DVDs due to copyprotection - after putting the DLL in, that went away and I never saw this "no sources" dialog again for years, until now - so I don't think it is due to copyprotection
  3. VLC player can play the DVD directly just fine. That includes the newest, as well as ~ 3 years old VLC versions
  4. I can copy the VIDEO_TS etc folders from the DVD onto the harddrive without the slightest issue, and play those folders in VLC player as well
  5. dragging such a folder from harddrive onto Handbrake yields the same result as with DVD: no sources found.
  6. I tried to open disc & "convert" to .mkv (without transcoding) with VLC player, but that just wrote a silly big file until the drive was full, much bigger than the DVD itself - maybe a bug / bad settings. Might try this with h264 again, but of course, I'd like to use Handbrake for *that*
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Open DVD as source and let it scan


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.1, 1.5.1, others



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

Re: Less common reasons for "No valid source or titles found"

There can often be issues other than CSS with DVDs.

That’s why it’s recommended to rip with makemkv first.

libdvdcss and encrypted disks generally aren't supported by HB.

Best practice is to rip with MakeMKV.

I quickly tried the current MakeMKV beta.
It doesn't like the copied folder either, says something about "BUP offset does not match IFO header", titleset start sector wrong, etc (can't give exact messages in English as this uses the syste language...)

I'll try with the Disc again.
Funny how some stupid little irrelevant (to me) inconsistency on the medium prevents such a program from doing the relevant part, but it plays fine with VLC. It's just a bit big to keep around like that :D

ok, makemkv doesn't seem to like both those DVD either. It gives messages about that BUP offset for VTS vs. IFO header issue, and mentions that some short tracks get skipped.
And then it says, after some messages about the device being busy (perhaps no exact translation), that opening the disk fails.
(even though I can just copy the DVD content folders onto my hdd and play it with VLC).

There are programs that might get you a copy from the disc.

I don’t remember any of the names but google should help.
