drive not recognized by MakeMKV - can I work around this?
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2021 12:43 pm
Hi, I am very new to ripping Blu Ray discs.
I bought an external Optiarc BC-5500A drive. However, it is not recognized by MakeMKV and I have tried everything (old versions, reboot, plugging it in again and again..). There is no clear answer when I google this problem.
When I try to open the BDMV\index.bdmv file it says "the folder F: appears to be a root folder on optical drive, however drive can't be accessed by the program. the operation will most likely fail"
and then it works for a bit and says "The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted"
Failed to open disc
When I copy the files to my HDD first (drag+drop) then open BDMV\index.bdmv it gives me the same error (cant be decrypted).
What can I do to bypass this? I don't mind a workaround, as long as it works. I have already given up on making it recognize the drive.
