Kingsman1 (French version) - disc not readable by Asus 16D1HT

[Cypherz]

I bought a 2nd hand UHD of Kingsman1 (French version) and thought to test the disk by ripping with MakeMKV.
I havbe a flashed Asus 16D1HT, which is able to recognise 2 other French UHD disks (Bumblebee and Detective Pikachu).

The disc seems to be fine when playing it through my standalone 4K player.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be. When i insert the disc intot he drive it spins up searched for about a minute then stops. MakeMKV doesn't have any output except for "Type: No Disc"

Would it be worthwhile flashing my Pioneer BDR-S08 drive to see if that will be able to read it (I read that its supposed to be more reliable. The flashed firmware was not available at the time which is why i had bought the Asus drive)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Clean the disc before trying to read it again. Let the OS intialise the disc before you open MakeMKV.

I had tried cleaning the disc before as there were a few smudges.

I just tried waiting until windows was finished with the disc before opening MakeMKV.
The drive is still trying to read the disk after more than 5 mins.
The are intermittent "clunking" noises and occasionally the drive spins up fast enough to sound like a fan.

Tried it again after giving it another clean. Windows decided to stop scanning this time, but still nothing with MakeMKV.

Could be a dud disc. Also, some drives just don't like some discs. Try a different drive if you can.
