Backup failed reading dvd due to region lock?

Post by littlebeeper »

Hello,

I am on MacOS 12.5 with MakeMKV 1.17.1 and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong? I have a DVD to backup and it fails. My drive is an Apple USB Superdrive and it is region set to 4 I think, and this is a region 2 disc.

It seems MakeMKV is failing due to this? but I thought that MakeMKV could work around it?

Help would really be appreciated!

Thanks

Ripping DVD with Mac DVDRipper Pro to an ISO works fine. So it there something to be done for MakeMKV?
