Ripping Blu Rays Problems

I think I may have posted this in the wrong section, so I'm going to repost it here.

Hello LTT Community!  So I have recently acquired a blu ray/dvd combo drive for my PC.  $25.00 open box price at MicroCenter   .  So I went ahead a started ripping my blu ray collection to my external hard drive in preparation for my FreeNas Server build that is coming up in the next few week.  I had already done all of my DVDs months earlier using MakeMKV to make an .mkv file.  Then using Hand Break to convert into .mp4 files for storage.  I've done 4 blu rays with no problems.  But now I'm ripping my Star Wars complete saga blu rays.  Episode I and II went fine.  I got the .mp4 files to play.  But when I've completed Episodes III and IV I got an error that says the file are corrupt when I try to play them to make sure they are working.  The .mkv files are working fine.  I'm just having the issue when I convert it to the .mp4 with Hand Break.  Am I'm doing something wrong here or are there any fixes to this issue?  

 

Thanks for the input!!

Don't even convert them to begin with. Use a software that can extract the audio and video file, and then put them in an MP4.

what Blue ray player is it? please let me know the specific name and model number, maybe its a ripping problem, or maybe it's a software problem.

If the mkv files work, it sounds like a software problem. Try converting it using some other program.

 

TBH I prefer to keep my ripped files in mkv format.  It's just so much easier to work with.

Can you use .mkv files with Plex Media Server?

scratched disk? DRM?

Yes

Disk are fine.  Like I said, MakeMKV is working just fine, just when I'm using handbrake it doesn't work correctly.

I got the same issue with this program as well?  This issue is so weird after it has been working fine for me already.

this sounds like a Cinavia prob

 

you'd need to use anydvd or dvdfab to rip it

You could also try a program called Leawo Blu-ray Ripper they have a trial one you can use.granted I have only had this for a few months now and I still getting use to it,but I did make a few disc and it worked great for me..

 

If you use AnyDVD make sure you get the right version of it as there is 2 different ones you need to have AnyDVD HD for Blu-Ray movies..

Using Leawo Blu-Ray ripper only allows me to rip 5 minute segments without purchasing to program.  

 

Getting the movies onto my HDD is not the issue.  MakeMKV is working with all of my Blu-Rays.  The issue is when I go to convert that huge .mkv file into an .mp4 file.  Some error occurs and the .mp4 version will not play.  This is only occurring with some Blu-Rays tho.  My Amazing Spider-Man and Batman Blu-Rays converted just fine.  I can keep the .mkv file, but I'd rather not because those files are so large.  With my storage solution I'm planning to deploy in a few weeks is going to be used for movie/tv show .mp4's as well as other things.  I don't want the entire NAS to be just filled with movies.  I need it to store my other import files as well and then backup with crashplan.
