Trying to open Olympus has Fallen (UK)

I get the following:

Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:UNRECOVERED READ ERROR' occurred while issuing SCSI command AD010..080002400 to device 'IoKit:IOBDServices:39726b33daaf2687:TSSTcorp BDDVDW SE-506CB TS02'
Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive
Highest AACS version is v50 , MKB saved as /Users/andrewrae/Library/MakeMKV/MKB_v50_HOBBIT_BATTLE_OF_FIVE_ARMIES.tgz
The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
Failed to open disc

Not sure about the Hobbit bit? It is a disk I have opened in the past.

This is a case where a read error early in the process is causing problems with decoding the disk, and MakeMKV falls back to not being able to validate its decryption. Check the hub area for dirt or possible "other issues" (I've seen disks with air bubbles in their central areas, fresh from the factory).

Thanks for your help.

I gave the disc a clean - no help.
I popped it into my standalone Sony Blu-ray player - it worked (I have watched this film a few times before).
I put it back into the Samsung player attached to my mac and it worked!

Luck?

Andrew

Possibly luck. Personally, I hate optical media... too many things that can go wrong with it.

I have had this problem with numerous discs. It's not solvable. There's something wrong in the tracks which makemkv refuses to overlook. People (including me) have requested the author numerous times to make makemkv a little more tolerant of errors and just skip over errors and continue, like a movie player. But there's no word on if and when that would be implemented.

If there's a scratched/bad press disc of a 2 hour movie, I'd rather lose, say 3-4 minutes and have the remaining video than nothing at all.
