Unencrypted Blu-Ray iso, why must makemkv fail?

Hi,

I have either a question or a feature request. If I have a Blu-Ray ISO image, which has the protection removed (let's say by AnyDVD), why can I not use makemkv to produce a .mkv? It simply resolves to failure because the volume ID or something is unknown. It seems fine when tried with dvdfab. Could we have an option to declare a source "unprotected"?

You can do what you're asking.

If it doesn't work turn on debug and post your log here.

That's how I rip 95% of my discs to MKV. It works fine for me, and I use the same tool to remove the protection and create the initial ISO for backup purposes.

Thanks for the confirmation that it can be done. I was getting consistent failures and updated to the latest version of makemkv (I am using the MAC OS version), and now it works. I have a few iso's that failed before and none of them fail anymore.

Strange that I had these issues earlier, maybe I had some corruption.
