Hello
I am fairly new to this hobby (and forum) so forgive me if this is on the wrong board. I am attempting to rip the first UHD disk from a set of the Last of Us. When I boot up MakeMKV, it seems to have great difficulty (read as "it won't") open the disc and allow me to rip it. It just spins and spits back and error code.
Error 'Scsi error - NOT READY:LOGICAL UNIT IS IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY occurred while reading [my blu ray drive] at offset [several different sets of stings of numbers]
I am running a ASUS BW-16D1HT at 3.01 firmware inside of an external chassis.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried gently cleaning the disc? It seems like the optical drive is having trouble reading the disc correctly.

I tried cleaning the discs and wound up trying another film. Same error code. Do you think its a physical issue?

When I get those errors and the disk is definitely clean, a shutdown and reboot always solves the issue for me.

I'm using an internal UHD drive... If you got an external USB drive unplugging may solve the issue.

Otherwise you might ran into a rare disc with minimal defects... I had this one or two times now with disks that where completely new.. Once I got a replacement from the seller it worked..

I also find that weird errors are sometimes helped by rebooting my optical drives. My drives are in external, powered enclosures and connected via USB. For me, I just power them down for 15 or 20 seconds, then turn them back on. The tiny computer running the firmware in the drive sometimes seems to get into a bad state after a rip goes badly for some reason. I assume there are bugs in the firmware that occasionally get stumbled into. Restarting the drive seems to clear it up.
