Ripping Flash Gordon (Again)

Have been having trouble ripping the 4K Flash Gordon, bought in New Zealand if it matters. After trying and failing and getting lots of scsi errors, giving the disc a (gentle) clean, shutting the PC down completely and restarting, I tried unchecking the decrypt box and seem to have copied the whole thing to disc. Its about 70gig. Question now is, what do I do to try to decrypt the copy on disc (well SSD actually). What MakeMKV command do I use and what do I point it to in the copied folder ?

Didn't spot anything googling even though I guess the answer is really obvious (though not to me of course...)

Thanks very much.

After MakeMKV starts, do File -> Open files and point it at the file(s).

Thanks I tried that but you made me realise that I hadn't pointed MakeMKV to the discatt.dat file, which does seem to work.

Now I get to see what happens with the copy on disk not being decrypted...

...and that seems to have worked just fine. Thanks very much.
