Perhaps you could post the MakeMKV log from trying to rip your disc?

The output in the bottom half of the window when MakeMKV is ripping contains the log from the ripping process. Just copy and paste into a post here on the forum. If you want to be fancy, use the 'code' block in your post.

If you have "Log debug messages" checked on the General tab of MakeMKV's preferences, at the top of the log it'll say where the output is being written to a text file on your computer.

There was undoubtedly more than those two lines. I have no idea what might be happening from only those two lines.

I’m not exactly young either.
Processing a disc in MakeMkv basically has two stages.
First stage is you clicking the disc icon upon which a dialogue box will be opened showing MakeMkv accessing the disc, and checking whether the disc can be read and whether it has a decryption key.
If the disc passes both of these tests you will then get a screen allowing you select the tracks you wish to rip. You can then proceed with ripping the disc and the dialogue box will then show progress.
If the disc does not pass the first hurdle the dialogue will tell you why it failed (sort of). The only definite remark seems to be a failure to find a decryption key. Other error messages might be sortable by removing the disc, giving it a good clean (yes, even new discs), restarting makemkv and trying again.
If you have managed to get disc decryption started it could still falter which could be the result of a disc defect but also a need to clean.
So, how far did you get in the process?

Then there should be dialogue about why the disc failed, like the absence of a key for decription and you need to post all of that. However, if the messages don’t make sense I wouldn’t rule out giving the disc a good clean and giving it another try.
