For DVDs, I use ddrescue. Keep a log of it as well in case you want to |
| 11 |
do a second pass or just see where it's puking. Use its blocksize of 2048: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
ddrescue -b 2048 /dev/sr0 dvd.iso ddrescue.log |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
dvdbackup comes with some error handling on reads as well where it can |
| 16 |
skip blocks, see its help output. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For blurays I'd try ddrescue as well. Blocksize for those is 65536. I |
| 19 |
think. |

Based on your physical drive / the disc, it might whine or break because |
| 22 |
of DRM, or you can get weird read errors as well. That's why dvdbackup |
| 23 |
is best imo since it will auth the drive as well. |

MakeMKV can do its best to backup a disc, but I don't know how well it |
| 26 |
does at error handling: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
makemkvcon --minlength=0 -r backup --decrypt disc:0 . |
| 29 |

I've got plenty of broken DVDs so I've managed to rescue those okay. If |
| 31 |
you're trying to encode stuff off of them, there are cases where the |
| 32 |
encoder can handle it best and read from the disc directly and skip over |
| 33 |
bad blocks as well. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Good luck. |
