Drive locked and disc cannot be ejected

Post by bokbokchui »

I had this issue. I put an Audio CD in my Blu-ray Combo drive, play and listen to CD music on my PC. Then, I want to use makemkv to backup a DVD to mkv. I found that after I started makemkv, makemkv started to scan Audio CD disc in the drive. The scan did not end and the disc cannot be ejected. I cannot shutdown properly and need to unplug the power cord. Plug it back and power on the PC again to eject the CD.

Are there any ways to disable auto disc scanning of makemkv to prevent such issue?

In MakeMKV's preferences, there's an option on the IO tab called 'Ask for single drive mode'. Turn that on and when you start MakeMKV, it'll ask you which optical drive you want that particular instance of MakeMKV to use.
