Missing Bluray Drives

#1 Post by naivewarrior2002 » Mon Dec 19, 2016 3:53 am

Hello,

For some reason MakeMKV no longer display my Bluray drive. I can see the Bluray drive from windows explorers and I can access files on the disc. But MakeMKV will not list Bluray drive, it does list DVD drive though.

What's going on? It used to work.

Thanks.

There is a very good chance that, if you reset your computer, it will work again. If the drive is an external, unplugging and replugging it usually works, too.

Sometimes Windows gets confused about what a drive is, and won't report it when MakeMKV asks, "What optical drives are installed?" When it happens with internal drives, I've had to do a reset (not just reboot, force a motherboard reset) to get a drive back online.

I did both of those and still no luck. It's an external USB bluray drive.
