Failed To Open Because of Region Issue half way through a box set

Post by bahamutmega » Wed Oct 22, 2025 5:25 pm

Tring to rip a box set of The Guild which has 5 disks. The first 2 disks had no problems opening and ripping the contents. However once i moved on to disk 3 I get this error from MakeMKV

Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:MEDIA REGION CODE IS MISMATCHED TO LOGICAL UNIT REGION' occurred while reading '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_1.VOB' at offset '2048'
Failed to open disc

The disks also won't open in VLC. ( The first 2 will load with VLC )

1. I know these disks are region one. 2. I had no problems with the first 2 disks from the same box set.

I'm really confused at this point and any advice would be welcome.

Thanks guys. :)

Download the program of your choice something like the freeware Nero Infotool. It gives you the info on a dvd like layers, copy protection, Region Coding, etc...see what it says. You may be dealing with knockoffs.

Have you tried power cycling your optical drive?
