Have you restarted your Mac recently? This is necessary for the support of your drive with the new Makemkv functionality.

Then please try a couple of BDs and post a full message of what is displayed in the log. Just copy and paste the text. You don't need to attach pictures.

Make sure it gets enough power. Use USB-C if possible and external power (if it came with a power supply). Try again and report back.

I apologize but I'm unable to reply to your PM so I can only ask this way. Should I assume EUR is preferred for donations? Paypal automatically selected that for me when I started.
