Hello -- I been ripping Region 1 DVD -- can makemkv rip a region 2 dvd? -- If so, would this reset any info in the dvd hardware?

In most cases, MakeMKV will rip R2 just fine in a drive set to R1. It brute-forces the decryption key to do so.

I have used it to rip R2 disks (Blake's 7 imported from Germany), and none of my drives even have a region set (regular DVD software tells me I need to chose a region, but I just don't use that software anymore). Occasionally, MakeMKV tells me the drives have RPC issues that can't be corrected, but then goes right ahead and corrects them.

Thanks for the info
