I have an older ASUS BW-12B1ST Bluray reader that has ripped 100's of my discs. I recently purchased a bluray of Godzilla Minus One, peeled the cellophane off and inserted it in the drive (after inspecting the surface for flaws & dust etc) and watched makemkv attempt to load it.... the drive just spun, and did not recognize the disc. That's a first!
I unloaded the disc, rebooted and tried again... this time I left it running (went to dinner) and when I returned, the drive was spooled up to max speed! Makemkv would not eject it because it didn't even see the disc. I had to reboot to get the disc out!
Has anyone seen this behavior?
Is my drive on the way to vacationland?
Is it time to upgrade to a 4K reader?

Re: Trouble just seeing Blu-ray Godzilla Minus One disc
Sometimes brand new discs can have an almost invisible film on them, perhaps left over from the manufacturing process, that makes things hard for optical drives. I would gently clean the disc and try again.
Personally, I use plenty of warm water and liquid dish soap to clean discs like this.
