I'm trying to rip The Beverly Hillbillies Season 2, but it isn't going as smoothly as the first season, even though the disks for both contain very similar content. For example, a disk typically contains six or seven episodes, a "Play all" option, and allows you to play episodes either with or without the original sponsor advertising included (i.e., there are two versions of each episode included on every disk). Consequently, ignoring special features/extras and given n episodes (either 6 or 7) on a disk, there are 2n+1 titles: a large play-all (A1) and two for each episode (C1 and C2 for the first episode, D1 and D2 for the second, etc.). Here's what the title list looks like for a season 1 disk:
36 chapters (A1)
5 chapters (C1)
6 chapters (C2)
5 chapters (D1)
6 chapters (D2)
.
.
.
5 chapters (H1)
6 chapters (H2)
Again, the first season ripped without no problem, and although the season 2 disks have the same type of content, MakeMKV only detects the "Play all" title and the first episode pair. For example, this is all I get with the season 2 disks:
36 chapters (A1)
6 chapters (B2)
6 chapters (B1)
And sure enough, ripping one or both of the smaller titles gives me the first episode on the disk, but unless I want to rip the "Play all" title and manually split it into its constituent parts (or watch it as one continuous video), I'm out of luck for getting to the other episodes.
First, any thoughts on what I might try to get MakeMKV to see the other pairs of episodes? Second, is there any way to tell the software to rip only specific segments? The reason I ask the second question is that the Segment map for the "Play all" title apparently recognizes the range of segments for each episode, as in the following for a seven-episode disk:
Segment map: 1-5,6-10,11-15,16-20,21-25,26-30,31-35
I'm relatively new to this but have ripped dozens of disks in the past 3-4 weeks, both movies and television shows, and this is the first time I've run into this problem. Thanks in advance.

Re: The Beverly Hillbillies (Season 2)
This seems to be a problem with makemkv. Both VLC and handbrake can see the individual episodes, but makemkv can't.
These handbrake commands will extract all 7 episodes, with or without the original ads:
HandBrakeCLI -i backup/BEVERLY_HILLBILLIES_S2_D1.iso -t 2 -o episode1.m4v --all-subtitles --subtitle-burned=none
...
HandBrakeCLI -i backup/BEVERLY_HILLBILLIES_S2_D1.iso -t 8 -o episode7.m4v --all-subtitles --subtitle-burned=none
HandBrakeCLI -i backup/BEVERLY_HILLBILLIES_S2_D1.iso -t 9 -o episode1-ads.m4v --all-subtitles --subtitle-burned=none
...
HandBrakeCLI -i backup/BEVERLY_HILLBILLIES_S2_D1.iso -t 15 -o episode7-ads.m4v --all-subtitles --subtitle-burned=none
I was working from a backup that was created by makemkv.
Both VLC and Handbrake can show all 20 (one doesn't even show up in thd DVD menu) titles from the actual disk, too.
