I installed v1.16.7, set my system clock back to June 2022, and launched MakeMKV. The option to "backup" was grayed out in both the toolbar and menu. I tried the CLI and got the following:
Code: Select all

I could extract separate titles, but I've been able to do that with all the combinations I've tried. I simply cannot back up the disc. In the case of 1.16.7, it took ~15 minutes to scan the main feature. But at least it gave me a warning:
[This was off by a tad. It was more like 2.8 million VOBUs, but that may be the "complex multiplex" effect. v1.18.1 is much faster.]
I've tried other things, like creating a DVD master ISO from the disc and trying to back that up. Same problem.
There appears to be a discrepancy (bug) between how title-sets are scanned when extracting individual titles and how they are scanned when backing up a disc.
It behaved (expectedly) just like the GUI. Specifically, it starts scanning the contents, gets through the MENU (apparently) and then croaks before finishing the scan (possibly when starting to scan the first title). Here's the terminal output (with personal file paths redacted):
Code: Select all

There are 29 title sets (based on the successful scan when I extract just the main feature), but it can't make it past the menu.
