• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I have connected my Xbox HD-DVD player to my Mac & successfully managed to copy all of my HD-DVD's to my make, so I can watch them via Apple TV, all being 2 of them.
I am using MakeMKV, then using Handbrake to convert them to .MP4 file.

However, on the 2 discs I cannot copy across, I get an error message in MakeMKV saying:

Failed To Open Disc.

Now these 2 HD-DVD's are fine, no scratches on them & play perfectly fine when my HD-DVD player is attached to my Xbox.

Is there any way I can resolve this issue, or is there any other software that I can use to copy HD-DVD's to my Mac?

Thanks.

Probably copy protection prevention. Also, I suggest you read our Sticky Notice at the top of this forum regarding Blue Ray and DVD ripping.
