Hello,
I have the same issue with the BDR-XD07UHD. None of my BR UHD 4K are readable with MakeMKV.

Can you help me ?

You need to update the SDF.bin by allowing Makemkv access to the Internet. Then restart your PC.

Thank Coopervid for your answer.
I downloaded the SDF.BIN but I do not understand where I have to copy it and what actions I have to do to include it.
In the thread, they talk about an _private_data.TAR? I don't have this file.
I'm working on Windows.

Can you assist me ?

The SDF.bin(s) are in a compressed file _private_data.tar at the location C:/users/YOURUSERNAME/.Makemkv. If you find it you can open it with 7-zip and it should contain sdf_0000009c.bin as the last file item. If not, copy your downloaded SDF.bin to that location but if you have Internet access enabled for Makemkv it downloads the .tar file automatically. Make sure your firewall settings do not block the Internet access.

Check and report back.

Thanks for sharing.
I deleted the _private_data.tar on my folder.
I stopped MakeMKV, I unplugged the USB drive. I plug again the USB drive and run MakeMKV again
MakeMKV downloads the last version. In this new TAR, the last SDF is xxxx09c.BIN as expected.

However, I'm still unable to read the UltraHD BluRay Disk (I tested several discs) :

LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.
'Erreur SCSI - ILLEGAL REQUEST:CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT'

Here is the current settings :

Did the log window say a firmware dump was generated? Check the MakeMKV data directory and if the firmware dump is there, email it to support@makemkv.com so Mike can add it to enable libredrive.
Cheers :D
