MakeMKV only detects 1 episode on The Love Boat DVDs

Hi everyone,
I’m pretty new here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I’ve been ripping my DVD collection for my Jellyfin server without any major issues so far, but I’ve run into something strange with The Love Boat.
When I load the discs into MakeMKV (I’m also on v1.18.2), it only detects a single episode, even though I know there are multiple episodes (usually 2–4) on each disc. I’ve tested several discs from different seasons, cleaned them, and even tried a brand-new set, but I keep getting the same result. The episodes definitely play fine on a regular DVD player.
Has anyone else experienced this with this show (or similar DVDs)? Could it be some kind of disc structure or playlist issue that MakeMKV isn’t picking up?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
