Queer as Folk TV Series DVD not even recognized by my Drive

Post by holygamer »

I've been ripping hundreds of DVDs with MakeMKV and I've never had this issue before. I put the Queer as Folk Series 1 Disc 1 DVD (in mint condition) into my Pioneer BDR-212EBK drive and not only does neither MakeMKV or AnyDVD recognize that there's a disc in the drive but Windows also doesn't show that there's a disc in the drive. How can I rip the disc? Would buying a flashed drive allow the drive to see the disc?

Gently cleaning the disc is probably the right path forward. I don't think changing the firmware on the drive will make a difference.

A second drive might help too. In my experience, some discs just don't like some drives. I have 4 different drives sitting on my desk and almost always one of them will work. Not always though; occasionally I end up with a disc that won't read and I have to replace the disc.
