New to MKV. Drive Issue?

Post by Jsmitty »

Hi everyone.

I'm new to Make MKV and recently purchased a "like New" but old Memorex slim portable Bluray drive. Initial test setup and disc ran flawlessly and drive is recognized by Windows.

However beyond that I have tried 5 or 6 other discs (both DVDs and standard 1080p Blurays) and get a no disc inserted error on each. Can not open any disc. Drive is powered by 2 USB 2.0 ports.

MakeMKV spits out the following drive info for me.

Has this drive already gone to the big Drive Bay in the sky and have I done something wrong? I'm looking to rip standard blurays, many but not all are Verbatim BD50 BD-R rewriteable.

What?
Standard Blu-rays are not written on verbatim discs
You are trying retail discs?
Or burned knockoffs?
