Makemkv can't read JAV DVDs

#1 Post by Adidas_Guy893 » Mon Jun 02, 2025 9:38 am

When I tried to rip a JAV DVD, Makemkv will try to read the disc, but will never read anything and eventually gives up. Keep in mind, this only happens with JAV DVDs and other types of DVDs usually read fine. I have no idea why Makemkv struggles with these discs in particular. Does anyone know?

Yes, this is a known issue with some JAV DVDs, and it often comes down to deliberate disc structure obfuscation or copy protection schemes used by Japanese publishers.
