I recently started backing up my media library, and I have some HD-DVD discs which I would like to back up (Specifically, Star Trek: The Original Series, all 3 seasons, on the HD-DVD and standard-DVD combo pack with one format on each side of the physical disc).
However, I've had a quite difficult time getting MakeMKV to work with these discs.
The drive is a LG GGW-H20L, and it seems to be in good working condition. I've used it to successfully back up several DVD and Blu-Ray discs without issue.
Operating system is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, with MakeMKV installed via https://launchpad.net/~heyarje/+archive ... kemkv-beta
When I insert a disc then open MakeMKV, it seems to hang indefinitely on the "detecting CD-ROM drives" step.
When I open MakeMKV, select the drive, then insert a disc, I get the spinning disk icon indefinitely. (When this happens, the /usr/bin/makemkvcon guiserver A0001+shm process goes to 100% of a single CPU.)
Once, I was able to get MakeMKV to the "Decrypting" step, but I have not been able to replicate that.
I have heard that sometimes there is an issue with the physical disc degrading. So I tried taking a disc image with `ddrescue`. It completed with no errors (and at a decent speed too, about a half hour for a 21GB image). So I don't think it's an issue with the physical disc.
I tried opening the ISO file itself in MakeMKV, but that didn't work either. It opened the ISO okay, then spent some time on the "Decrypting" step, then outputted this error log:

Failed to open disc
For kicks and giggles, I spun up a Windows VM and installed MakeMKV there to try to read the ISO, but got the same results.
Any ideas on what I should try next?
Thanks!
