DVD Opening Modes with homemade DVD

I’m trying to convert a homemade DVD with no copy protection. I’ve converted a ton of them from the same creator, same machine, etc. On the first attempt to read the disc, Title 4 was skipped because it was declared to be a fake title. I understand that Structure Protection is only for commercial DV...

MakeMKV Adjacent - Cleaning Discs

Disc cleaning seems to be the “reboot computer” of ripping, so it seems relevant. I’ve ripped or converted probably 100 DVDs in the last week: Almost all of The West Wing (to VIDEO_TS with https://mdrp.app ) plus a huge number of homemade DVDs (using MakeMKV first and MDRP if that failed). There hav...

Re: West Wing Problems

I’m now having some problems with (at least one) of my West Wing DVDs. This is S5 Disc 2 from the complete season set, not the complete series set. I tried ripping it to VIDEO_TS with MDRP. It stalled out. I tried playing Title 1 (the “all episodes” title) in VLC. It crashed the app. I cleaned the d...

Re: New (frustrated) User - Please Help

I don’t think I have any 4K UHD at this point, so I’m okay with that limitation. Later you can open the backup in MakeMKV and create individual .mkv files. Other than playlist obfuscation, where are you getting stuck? For some reason, I feel like I’m missing a step in the middle that makes this diff...

New (frustrated) User - Please Help

I know that some or all of what I’m going to ask is probably elsewhere. I tried searching, but every answer I found led to a question or a problem or stuff I had to install or it turns out I may have just opened my computer to Java attacks or Knives Out was *exactly* the wrong disc to start with... ...
