Blade the Series and Blade House of Chthon

[retromaniacjames]

I have a DVD box set of Blade the Series and a DVD release of Blade House of Chthon. But when I put them into any drive on my computer the discs report they are 11GB each disc on either windows or Linux same thing happens. When I try to open them in MakeMKV i get an error msg

MakeMKV v1.18.2 win(x64-release)
udf: UDF: BROKEN DIRECTORY ENTRY

and then I can not get the discs to finish correctly, I have tried this on the 1 DVD release for the movie and 4 discs from the box set which disc 1 is also the movie and the other 3 discs are the tv series.

Is there a solution to be able to read these discs properly?

You could try what's mentioned in that conversation.

Tried that and all 4 settings fail with same error, but the discs are playing fine on my standard tv dvd player box.

Were you able to successfully make a decrypted backup of the DVD? If so, was MKVToolNix GUI also confused by the DVD's structure?

Nope I have been unable to rip any of the 5 discs I have so far (1 DVD for the movie, 4 discs that also includes a copy of the movie as disc 1). Even using a LibreRip patched drive doesn't work for them.

Sadly I am thinking I will have to use some other software to rip these discs to iso, and then attempt to use makemkv to extract the files.
