Initial scan hung on "Play Only" disc

Post by bpatt »

Good morning!

When trying to open the Universal Vault Series "The Perfect Furlough" starring Tony Curtis, my MakeMKV v1.17.2 shows a few errors and then stays like that, for hours. The disc is clean, obviously a purple colored DVD+R backside and the back of the case has this warning message as part of the official item label:

"This disc is expected to play back in DVD video "Play Only" devices, and may not play in other DVD devices, including recorders and PC drives."

Sure enough, It doesn't error out even after leaving it overnight, but the time remaining just keeps increasing, no additional status updates.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Looks like my problem at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=29321

On my DVD using CellTrim as protection removal let me open the DVD. Maybe it works for you as well.
