I had previously copied all Stargate SG-1 discs to folder. This gives me a folder for each disc containing the actual files of the dvd (vobs and such). Today I began ripping the episodes to mkv files which went fine for the first season (5 different discs/folders). Season 2 and 3, likely more, are giving me trouble with every disc. It can load the files, preview the video, prepare to rip, but then counts down and down on fps and up and up on the time without ever creating a file. I let it sit for some time and it did not give an error. I tried updating my nvidia drivers, restarting pc, dvdfab is already updated, moving the location of the processed file, and even tried software instead of cuda. I jumped all the way ahead to season 10 and that seems to be working fine. I could understand if one disc copy was bad but all 10 disc folders for s2 and 3? What is going on?

You can test the folders using DVDFab Media Player, it is free for playing anything except optical discs. It will detect any problem with the folder content. If you can find the DVDFab internal log sessions from making the folders, please attach it using the instructions linked in my sig, below. One of the log sessions from the Ripper conversions that fail would be helpful as well. Each log session begins with a date/time/version stamp with newer entries toward the end of the dvdfab_internal.log file.Supplying DVDFab Logs in the Forum ...........................User Manual PDF for DVDFab v11................................

*I tested with no subtitles and it did work. Any thought on saving the subtitles?

Please make a zip file of all the IFO files on the original disc and the IFOs for the corresponding DVDFab output folder for one of the ones that won't work. I will send you an upload link in a PM. I thought I had several of the SG-1 episode discs but I can't find them immediately.Supplying DVDFab Logs in the Forum ...........................User Manual PDF for DVDFab v11................................

Well I just realized this doesn't matter because there were no English subtitles on the earlier seasons. I do appreciate the help. Thank you.

@ qqq1,
I wanted to make sure so I know this.
When you removed the undefined subtitles from the rip & conversion to .MKV with DVD Ripper it worked as it should ?
I suggest this .
There are several subtitle sights on the Internet .
I rarely have used them as I haven't needed any subtitles a disc didn't have .
I've played around with a couple of oddball files from time to time.
I believe I used software other than DVDFab for this.
I'm not sure if DVDFab can add external subtitles to the DVD Folders & files you already have.
Someone like signals probably has this information & a method for doing it.
If you do try this I suggest you make a copy of the DVD folders you already have somewhere else on your hard drive.
Work with the second copy so the original rip stays pristine (or as good as it is now).
I remember reading DVDFab can add external subtitles to a .MKV so you might want to try that.
Again someone like signals would know more about the method to do this.
I do believe you can find a English version of the subtitles online but I didn't look for any.
How good they are depends on how good a job the person that created them did.
There is also software that lets you create your own subtitles .
I'm not experienced with it but I have read about it.
More than I've tried to learn no more than I use subtitles.

I have the subtitles of all 8 SG-1 seasons in .srt format which works fine for my media center setup. I created the srt files using a program called CCextractor which will let you pull the CC text which is different than a subtitle stream. I'd be willing to give you all of the SG-1 subtitle files if you're interested. And can give you pointers on how use CCextractor for other TV episode discs that don't have a subtitle stream but do have embedded CC. Let me know if you're interested. No sense redoing something I've already done and am willing to share with you. each srt file is pretty small about 50K. Would be easy enough to zip them and send them personal mail. Let me know

I have found some pretty obscure subtitles online, tvsubtitles.net, or similar. Easy enough to add them in Ripper.

I can confirm that this issue exists on S2 and S3 (so far) of my SG-1 set as well. I have the Complete Set purchased for $80 on Amazon back in 2012. Disabling the ripping of subtitles fixes the issue for some discs, but there are some where it still won't rip from disc. Ripping the full disc to disc folder and then ripping from there fixes those, but it's a lot of extra time to rip them.
