Another thing - Is the disc a 1080p blu-ray, or is it a 4K blu-ray?  1080p blu-ray discs should rip without a problem; MakeMKV can rip 4K blu-ray discs too, though the industry added tightened restrictions for 4K discs & drives, so in order to rip a 4K blu-ray disc, you'd need a drive that has older firmware that allows it, or allows its firmware to be flashed with a firmware that allows ripping video content.  The term "LibreDrive" is a term used for 4K blu-ray drives that allow ripping 4K discs (or can be flashed with a firmware to allow it).
