I cannot rip using my BD-RW BDR-XD06U. It was said that it works with the firmware 1.11. Should I upgrade the firmware to 1.11?

When I try to rip it says

LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.
Backup failed

Please let me know what should I do

I have the following Logitec BR drive (seems to be Pioneer inside):

What am I doing wrong? TIA !

2. Even if you can get LibreDrive enabled, it will not be able to read UHD discs as it is too old an incompatible.

No. Firmware is post 11/2022. You will have to wait for future support.
