Right now it is not possible to rip DVDs with 99 Track Protection. After searching for a solution a little bit, there seems to be a manual solution for this. I would like to discuss an idea to integrate this solution into ARM.
Manual solution
According to this superuser post you can open the movie with VLC (or any other DVD playing software), start the movie from the menu and then write down the chapter number that is being played. You can then use this chapter number to RIP the DVD with Handbrake.
Suggested semi-automatic solution
If ARM detects a movie with 99 Track Protection, it could allow the user to manually enter the chapter that the user wants to rip.
So as a user I would have a workflow like this:
Insert DVD
Get notified of Track 99 Protection by ARM
Eject DVD manually
Insert DVD on different device
Open with VLC
Note down correct chapter number
Insert DVD on PC running ARM again
Enter correct chapter number in Web UI
ARM now rips the movie successfully
Although as a user I would have to some manual steps, I can still use all the features of ARM and reuse the configuration that I already entered.
Suggested automatic solution
If ARM detects a movie with 99 Track Protection, it could automatically query the ARM API for the correct chapter. If it is not found, fall back to the semi-automatic solution above.
So as a user I would have a workflow like this:
Insert DVD
ARM detects a Track 99 Protection
ARM queries the ARM API for the correct chapter to rip
ARM now rips the movie successfully
Of course we would have to add this feature to the ARM API and fill it with the correct data.
I would love to see a change like this because I have a couple of movies that I did not rip because of 99 Track Protection. Of course I could go the manual way, but then I would have to replicate all configurations, copy the resulting movie to my NAS manually, fix all permissions etc.
Any thoughts on this? Does this sound feasible?

This would be doable yes. Unfortunately the ripper code is a bit of a mess so adding new things like this are hard.
We are working on resolving that now, so this would be possible with v3.0 onwards. Once implemented. But the software won't be ready for a while, the rewrite is taking a while
Any thoughts on if this is feasible, easy to integrate?
