Got the following on the new Thin Lizzy self titled Blu Ray:

MakeMKV v1.18.2 win(x64-release) started
The new version 1.18.3 is available for download at http://www.makemkv.com/download/
Using LibreDrive mode (v02.1 id=6293EE04EC58)
Backing up disc into folder "E:/Video/backup/Thin Lizzy_Thin Lizzy_SDE_Blu Ray"
This disc uses newer version of AACS protection. Please let us know about it by visiting http://www.makemkv.com/a/?RuHBBalDmEcpno...

I'm not able to send the file as the MakeMKV website gives me an error when I try to access it.

Could you please update to the latest version of MakeMKV : https://mega.nz/file/fupUEYBC#CJ0JViHx- ... OLuPXSHD_k

And let me know if the error still shows up ?

Nobody seems to be able to access the main website at the moment.

Awesome! That did the trick, needed to get the latest version but the site wasn't working.

I really appreciate the help and the quick response! :D

Didn't read the entire thread, but there is a way to force MakeMKV to skip some of the errors that otherwise would cause it to give up entirely.

I got a good rip today from a disc that otherwise failed within the first minute of ripping.

ONLY DO THIS IF ALL ELSE FAILS. I hope the devs don't punish the community for revealing this e.g. completely remove the feature. They seem to not want this to exist for whatever reason idk why, but it is there. So, if your rip fails with read errors, after having tried everything else, do this:

1. Close MakeMKV
2. Windows Key + R, then type "regedit" you're now in the windows registry editor
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER >> SOFTWARE >> MakeMKV
4. Under MakeMKV create a new 32-bit DWORD >> "io_IgnoreReadErrors" and set it to "1"
5. Start MakeMKV and in preferences set read retry count low, say "1"
6. Rip the disc and hopefully it will produce something better than a total fail. Do expect some skipped frames.

There's also a Linux tool for data recovery from faulty media, that you can run in Windows via Cygwin called "ddrescue". In my case ddrescue produced an unrippable disc image, but the above method produced a perfectly working rip. I'd guess sometimes things could go the other way around. Here's info on how to get ddrescue working in windows: https://hax.vhs.dog/ddrescue-win/
