New Year Thanks to the Creators of MAKEMKV

Thanks to MakeMkv I have been able to preserve over $200 invested in these 4 DVD sets that without MakeMkv would have been subject to damage or deterioration because traditional methods of making a backup failed: Queen of Blood (MOD) The Expanse Season 4 (MOD) The Last Man On Earth Seasons 2-4 (MOD)...

Re: Multiple instances

Re: Failed To Open Because of Region Issue half way through a box set

Download the program of your choice something like the freeware Nero Infotool. It gives you the info on a dvd like layers, copy protection, Region Coding, etc...see what it says. You may be dealing with knockoffs.
