Describe the bug?

Hello Guys

About two years ago I was using ARM in a VM to backup DVDs to ISO files which worked wonderfully, until I deleted the VM by accident that is. I'm using ARM (2.6.67) in a docker now, yet MakeMKV will only now rip to MKV, surely I can set this to rip to ISO as before?

Additionally, I installed MakeMKV standalone in docker on the same machine which can rip the same disks straight to ISO. I have a Handbrake client on another system i'll be using to transcode the ISOs to MKV/MP4 so I don't want the built in Handbrake being used.

I'm obviously missing something here?

To Reproduce

Can't say I have tried to create an ISO of late.
Looking at the code ARM supports backup of a disk through setting RIPMETHOD to either 'backup' or 'backup_dvd'. However, it this will only run when the disk type is Bluray, and doesn't create an ISO.

It seems that since you last had ARM setup, the code has been updated to only create ISO images of data disks. ARM checks if a disk is a 'data disk', and if so, then creates a copy using dd.

The devs are working on rebuilding a lot of the code at the moment as it is a nice patchwork of new features added over the years, and has a lot of issues. Allowing for data/ISO disks will be supported in v3.0, but that is a way off.

tldr: ARM doesn't currently support creating an ISO from any disk other than a data disk.

Okay mate thanks for the response. At least I know now it wasn't my settings.

I'll have a go at running an older version in a container.

The old ISO method was lighting fast, 10 mins Vs 30 plus for the Mkv method. I have a good many disks to get through.
