Re: No Disc problem -solved

I have solved it, apparently the blu-ray drive (an older Plextor) was either on its last legs or was suffering incompatibilities with the latest el capitan. Bought the latest Pioneer external BD drive (BDR-XD05S) and all is well: formerly unmountable BD disks now are mounted rapidly and rip without ...

Re: No Disc problem

So far about half the blu-rays (pristine from their containers) fail to mount or I get various errors during the rip. Tried cleaning the disks as recommended by many sites with no change. I agree that this is an OS system problem or drive problem since bytecopy has the same problem (however, I tried...

Re: No Disc problem

I downloaded the pavtube ripper and the disk mounted immediately. I then started up makemkv (since the disk was now mounted) and successfully ripped the Alien blueray. I don't understand why the same disk won't mount when makemkv runs. Does MakeMKV depend on the system to mount the disk?

These disks are pristine and so it is unclear why it rips some and not o...

Re: No Disc problem

so far just BD. is this a problem with el capitan? I guess makemkv cannot be forced to access the disk via direct access mode? Or am I wrong about what direct access mode means? Is it possible that the BD drive is too old?

No Disc problem

I am using a Mac Mini late 2014, which is running El Capitan 10.11.5 MakeMKV 1.9.10. Make MKV has worked spectacularly for the last many years (registered user) but recently it has been giving me the "no Disc" on about 50% of my Blu-Rays (e.g., Alien, Aliens) after attempting to read the d...
