Handbrake encodes forever

1

I'm trying to encode a movie (there are four different movies on the disk, two on each side of a DVD) and about half way through Handbrake gets stuck, and encodes forever. If I stop it and skip toward the end of the file, its the same few frame repeating until the end of the video. This is what the log tells me:

And the time backwards messges repeat until the messge that I canceled the encoding. So clearly something is wrong with the source, which was copied from the DVD to the HD using AnyDVD.

Is there any way to get past this? Should I try to DVD copy again, or is there some way to clean it up to all it to encode?

Try copying the dvd again with MakeMKV. Has always worked well for me. – kicken – 2019-07-23T16:11:52.970

If encoding to AVI, try encoding to MKV instead. You may also try another converter than Handbrake, for example VLC. – harrymc – 2019-07-23T20:11:26.487

I was able to download MakeMKV and open the IFO file in the VIDEO_TS folder AnyDVD created and it just copied the data to an MKV for me. Just had to uncheck the other movie & menu tracks, and specify the output directory and file name. It found the same errors, but I believe it just dropped those frames.
