LG BP60NB10 fails to read most standard Blu-rays; UHD works fine

[hardtoboil]

Hi all,

I'm reaching out for community advice regarding a persistent issue I've encountered with my LG BP60NB10 drive.

My setup:

Firmware: UHD-friendly 1.02 (flashed successfully)

MakeMKV version: 1.16.4 (using this older version because the latest MakeMKV won't install properly on my system)

MakeMKV shows;

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom1

My main use case is ripping UHD Blu-rays, which works almost perfectly—4K discs are detected, opened, and ripped without problems. However, my issue is with most standard (non-UHD) Blu-ray discs, those containing special features and bonus content.

On almost all regular Blu-rays, MakeMKV just displays a "reading" message for several minutes and then fails to actually read or open the disc properly. Only a very small number of standard Blu-rays seem to work.

Does anyone know:

Is this a known issue with the BP60NB10 (UHD friendly 1.02) drive?

Is the firmware or MakeMKV version likely to be the cause?

Are there any settings, software tricks, or additional troubleshooting steps that could help with reading regular Blu-rays for extras?

Should I consider a different drive just for standard Blu-rays, or is there a reliable workaround?

Thanks for any experience or advice! My primary concern is successfully ripping bonus content from my regular Blu-ray discs, since UHD main features are working perfectly.

1. If the discs won't read, clean them!

2. Since you are using a very old version of MakeMKV, any newer Blu-ray discs (probably from the last 2-3 years or so) may not be able to be read/decrypted as there's been newer MKB revisions since then that the old version may not be able to handle.

Thanks for the reply!

It's not about cleaning, makeMKV on my computer cannot handle every standard blu-ray discs & reads UHD blu-rays so well. Even if I try with unused Blurays it won't read

And reason why I'm using old version is because I get 'fatal error occured' message whenever I try to open newer versions..any advice?

As I saidi #2, the older version won't be able to handle decryption of any standard blu-ray disc from about 2021 as that old version, which is probably from 2020 or 2021 (v1.17.0 is from 27/6/2022) as it does not have the newer AACS device keys. Basically, it won't work with any blu-ray newer than 2021.

You really need to get the newer version installed.

What OS are you using?

I'm using the latest version of Windows 11. Maybe I gotta try reinstalling windows..

I get a 'fatal error' message right after running latest makemkv program for the first time. Even if I run as administrator. So I went back trying to install every versions in reverse order, and then found out 1.16.4 works.

I've never had any issues with Win 11. I haven't updated since v1.17.6 but when I eventually do, I don't expect any issues.
