Do you mean standard BluRays, i.e. non-UHD disks? I would expect MakeMKV to be able to read those, provided your drive's blue laser is working.

yes, normal bluray disc won't read, not fancy uHD;

suppose it need firmware update; i am wondeirng why it wouldnt read, but if can read DVD, laser could be ok?

Your drive will use a separate red laser for DVDs. You should not need either a firmware update or LibreDrive to read an ordinary BluRay disk.

This drive is defective.
