I am total confused with the UHD Drives & Flashing - Please help

Hi All,

I have used MakeMKV for years ripping DVD and bluray movies without issue and have been vey happy with the results.

However got a new media streamer that supports 4K and got new UHD drive to start ripping.
Firstly I got - Archgon Style external 4K-UHD reader:

Went to rip both Mulan and Fifth Element and both gave same error:

Code: Select all

Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:COPY PROTECTION KEY EXCHANGE FAILURE - KEY NOT ESTABLISHED' occurred while issuing SCSI command AD010..080002400 to device 'SPTI:\Device\CdRom1'
Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive
Saved AACS dump file as C:\Users\surface/.MakeMKV/MKB20_v70_The_Fifth_Element_-_4K_UHD_B513.tgz
LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.

I did some googling and found something from this forum that suggested the drive was not compatible. So I bought - Hitachi-LG BU40N:

However I get the same errors:

Code: Select all

Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:COPY PROTECTION KEY EXCHANGE FAILURE - KEY NOT ESTABLISHED' occurred while issuing SCSI command AD010..080002400 to device 'SPTI:\Device\CdRom1'

Saved AACS dump file as C:\Users\surface/.MakeMKV/MKB20_v70_The_Fifth_Element_-_4K_UHD_B513.tgz
LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.

Here is a screenshot of my config and drive:

I am now reading about flashing the drive and trying to use the SDF tool however I am not sure if this is necessary?
If I do need to flash it where the flashing firmware is located (I have read various threads on here about firmware versions but cannot find any links to where these are stored or how to download?

Any help on this would really be appreciated.
