Problematic home videos

(did some searching, but come up empty)
Hi,
I've got a home video of a vacation I took back in 2001 and authored it on DVD, with motion menus, in the same year. I have no idea what tool I used to author it back then.
The DVD plays fine in the Mac or in a dvd player, but makemkv does not recognize the disc. This is from the log file:
In addition to the physical DVD, I also used RipIt to dump the entire disc, converted that to an ISO, and tried again - but got the same errors.
As I'm typing, I have another home video that's working just fine in makemkv. That was authored in 2003 and I'm sure I used something different to make this DVD; but, I have about 30 discs to go!!! I suspect I'll have other problematic DVDs.
Any ideas, or maybe tool (for a Mac) that can be used to convert old DVDs into something with a more modern standard - which can then be used into makemkv? Please note I have WinXP on vmware, so I'm open to use windows tools as well.
Handbrake will probably work - I just didn't feel like encoding anything.
Thanks!
