Welllllll.... I do not have your or their confidence in makemkv. I got it
compiled and poped one of the disks in question in. It has been working on
it for about 1:45. The "time remaining" to scan the contents is now up
over 43 *hours*. I am going to let it continue overnight, but I suspect it
will be up over 100 hours by morning.
The disk cover says "THIS DISK IS EXPECTED TO PLAY BACK IN DVD VIDEO "PLAY
ONLY" DEVICES, AND MAY NOT PLAY IN OTHER DVD DEVICES... INCLUDING PC
DRIVES." As I noted in past I was able to get Handbrake to find the
advertising and "extras" titles on the disks, but not the actual episodes.
I suspect they've come up with something beyond encryption and actually have
something on the disk that prevents PC DVD Drives from being able to read
them.
As a side note, it looks like MakeMKV has not been updated since 2010. The
disks I have found that have this message on them are about 10 years newer
than that.
