This shouldn't need flashing. Have you tried a UHD disc yet?

Yes, when I try to load the disc it fails.

With what error?

This is what it says:

Using direct disc access mode
Loaded content hash table, will verify integrity of M2TS files.

So there are no actual read errors. Your issue is clear.

You need to fix your HK download issue otherwise you won't be able to rip a lot of UHD discs. MakeMKV needs to be able to download it's HK database to get the UHD decryption keys. Your computer is most likely geo-blocking Russia (that's where the HK is downloaded from). You should fix this geo-blocking or you could try running MakeMKV through a VPN.

I got it working. I do use a VPN, turns out my VPN was blocking.
Thanks for your help
