Blu-ray Preview of AlwaysSunny titles are good but MP4s do not always play

[BeemerBiker]

Using 10.0.7.9 (yes, little old) I ripped my AlwaysSunny years 1 & 2 three disk set. Only 2 of the 17 titles were recognized as legitimate mp4 by MediaPlay 5 or 3. Those titles had the word "theatrical" in the mp4 filename. Both logs indicated a problem. Note that the preview in all cases worked fine, just the MP4 was no good.

Hello,

Please post the dvdfab_internal.log file and fabcheck_internal.log file from DVDFab 10.

These were large files so I edited them where possible and zipped them up. After inserting the DVD, I selected 4 "titles" and verified each was correct by using the preview mode. I also selected ISO to make a copy of the disk. The disk iso worked fine, but the MP4 were not recognized as valid movies by any mp4 player I had. out of 17 titles only 2 were playable.

I am upgrading to 8.4 now.

thank you

[EDIT] I don't see anyone else with this problem and I suspect there is a problem with my USB3 drive in the data transfer. I just lost the drive. Since your program seems to have written them correctly but a few wont play and now windows reports the disk drive needs to be formatted I suspect the problem is at my end. I am looking at the problem which is strange. Before the disk seems to have failed some of the directories gave the error "the semaphore period has expired" when attempting to open a folder. Other folders on the same drive opened just fine. I have never seen error like this before. I ran the program "file scavenger 5.2" that shows all the MP4 files seem to be ok and can be extracted from the drive just fine (according to file scavenger). I will attempt to recover the files using another computer.

[EDIT-2] This problem seems to be caused because I recently started using this computer to mine cryptocurrency. The video board uses CUDA to rip and also CUDA is used during the mining. In addition, most of the CPU cores are busy. The error "the semaphore period has expired" is related to failure to transfer files during a prescribed time period. My computer is too busy, I need to stop the mining while using DVDFAB which I found can be done automatically from the mining program.
