Seems like a good time to pick up a project like that. I'm going through my box of HD DVD discs as well.
You're not decrypting the films appropriately. You can manually add keys to MakeMKV to get these things to work. You can, probably, figure out things from the following posts:
I put a file called KEYSDB_HD.cfg in my MakeMKV data directory, updated with any missing keys, and I was decrypting and ripping. The June 2009 copy was missing a couple I needed, but I was able to pick them up.
Happy hunting!
Support MakeMKV - Buy a license! (Seriously, you use this thing enough; A lifetime license is well worth it.)

Thank you , @MetalDave for the hint - this method really saves some time over DumpHD -> mkvtoolnix, although certain fine-tuning e.g. pulldown removal or audio transcoding remains. The FAQ should be updated IMHO.
@Mikeadmin, is there any chance libMMBD could be persuaded to also use a "KEYDB_HD.cfg" an thus enable playback for HD DVDs?

That might be a worthwhile feature request. Perhaps start a thread in the "General MakeMKV discussion" forum?
As a follow-up to my own HD-DVD ripping endeavors: I had great success with the Java applet of DumpHD doing my own key discovery. Worthwhile doing in a VM or another "simple" machine on which you don't mind running Java Runtime. I also had some discs that wouldn't "crack" no matter what I did, but it was a very, very small number compared to the rest of the collection.

The FAQ link doesn't seem to go anywhere? Can someone point me to what it contained?
