Glad I found this. I'm actually ripping the US release, but it seems its the same. I started with Season 5 (since I've seen the other seasons, so wanted to get this one going first), and S5D2 was driving me crazy. I would never have thought to try it without decrypting (I did try backing up, but did not occur to me to untick decrypt!). It appears to be backing up now, so fingers crossed I'll be able to get working files out of it when its done! Will keep this in mind for the other problematic discs mentioned here too!

If I backup without decryption can I then convert it to an MKV from there?
Yes, you just backup to a folder using MakeMKV (make sure to uncheck the decrypt checkbox for these ones!), delete the AACS folder in side of that folder that it will create, and then point MakeMKV at the BDMV file in that folder and it'll load up like any other disc and you can create MKVs from it like normal. Though it will probably be way faster than when you create MKVs from a disc.

Okay... made the back-up
Tried opening different .bmdv files (File > Open Files or File > Open DVD Manually), but then nothing happens.
I have tried:
