As per the title the drive refuses to read/recognise this disc. The disc is clean with no scratches, and plays fine on other blu-ray players. I’ve ordered another copy but I fear I might come across the same issue. What could be the problem here? Other discs read in the drive with no problems. Thanks

In my experience, some drives just don't like some discs. I have four different drives. On the rare occasion that my usual drive doesn't like a disc, I try it in a different drive. Often, but not always, one of my other drives reads the disc normally.

Unfortunately I don’t have another drive but I do have another copy of the same film on the way, do you think it will be the same outcome or is it just my existing copy it has a problem with? Thanks

See my latest post thanks

Another copy will probably work perfectly in your existing drive.

Nobody can know or say for sure until you try.

You were right I just received my new copy and the drive accepted it straight away without any issues. It’s the strangest thing, my original copy did however play perfectly fine in other blu-ray players and consoles fine, just not this computer drive. Needless to say my original copy has gone in the bin

Standalone player just skip unreadable parts. Makemkv doesn't and wants to make a perfect copy.

I didn’t even open makemkv with my original copy the drive wouldn’t even read it / wouldn’t load on my Desktop, the drive kept trying to read it but eventually just ejected it, my second copy loaded straight away no issues at all
The are no obvious scratches or damage to my original copy it’s spotless as is the second copy I just bought that ripped no problem.
