Step 1. Run MakeMKV, click View on the top menu bar, and go into "Preferences". Then click the General tab and click the box to enable "Export Mode". You will get the "Open DVD Files Manually" option. It may require you to restart MakeMKV.

Step 2. Play the DVD in VLC or other DVD player. Check which title is actually playing and remember it.

Step 3. Back in MakeMKV’s manual mode, enter in title selection string. Note that the title numbers needed separated by a space (eg if ep1 = title 2, ep2 = title 3, ep3 = title 5, the string would be 2 3 5). The order specified in the string will be the order in the next window. Then MakeMKV should be able to rip the DVD without navigation errors.
