This is the first time I've encountered this for a 1080p Blu-ray, but I get this message:
"Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed."
and then it spits out:
"Saved AACS dump file as C:/Users/matte/Desktop/High-Def Digest/MKB_v82_Spinal_Tap_II-_The_End_Continues_164E.tgz
Failed to open disc" - which again, I've never encountered on a Blu-ray.
But I submitted the TGZ file all the same
"MKB_v82_Spinal_Tap_II-_The_End_Continues_164E.tgz"
Here's a Google Drive link if that helps any

Appreciate any and all assistance!

Just bought the Spinal Tap 2 Blu-Ray and am seeing the same issue. I upgraded to the newest version of MakeMKV and still had the issue.

I am also seeing this problem with Spinal Tap 2. Happy to submit any logs/info that would help.

Regular blu-rays that use the latest version of encryption, AACS v82, have to handled similar to 4K UHDs and slightly differently than regular blu-rays with older versions of encryption.
MakeMKV supports two different disc decryption mechanisms. The built-in mechanism is called hashed keys and it works with all dumps from MakeMKV regardless of the brand of drive. When there is not a key for you disc and MakeMKV produces a dump, email that dump to svq@makemkv.com. Eventually a hashed key will be produced and MakeMKV will automatically download it as needed.
The other source for decryption keys is the public keyDB. The first post in the Public KeyDB Disc Submissions thread includes a template and instructions on how to submit dumps for inclusion in the keyDB. It also has links to where the keyDB can be downloaded, utilities to help keep it updated, and where to put the file so MakeMKV can use it. For 4K UHDs, dumps from Pioneer drives can not generally be used for keyDB submissions. For regular blu-rays, dumps from Pioneer drives can be used for keyDB submissions. MakeMKV can use the keys provided by the public keyDB to decrypt discs with any brand of optical drive.
These two ways to decrypt discs can be used together. If you can submit a dump to the keyDB you can also email it to svq@makemkv.com. Accidental duplicates emailed to MakeMKV aren't a big deal but duplicates submitted to the keyDB should be avoided if possible.
