Hi there.
"Switch!" is a German comedy project resembling a TV consumer zapping through different channels, watching parodies of famous series, shows, magazines, news, etc. Following the first classic series, a second series named "Switch! reloaded" followed.
Most of the discs in the complete box (Vol. 1-5) are unprotected, except for DVD 1 and 2 in Vol. 3 which use CSS protection and an additional structure protection; makeMKV is unable to analyze the structure, reports a mismatch between IFO data and BUP positions for VTS 2-7, and eventually displays only VTS 1 as available for processing.
In contrast, DVD Decrypter is able to rip PGC 2 of each VTS 2-7 in IFO mode to PGC-VOBs. But it also fails reading the whole disc in ISO mode, reports read errors, fails to patch IFO files on-the-fly.
I guess it uses a logical copy protection which attempts to outsmart the smarter rippers which analyse the whole structure, while a DVD Video player would skip the malicious parts, and a rather "dumb" ripping mode does so as well.
Attaching a debug log. Please advise further steps.

Debug log did not attach, because of limitations in the software here. Try putting the log between [ code ][ /code ] tags (without the spaces) in your message, if it's less than 64K in size.
