Hello all,
I've had an ASUS BW-16D1HT (firmware 3.01) that had been working fine with BDs & UHDs up thru January. I was able to backup the 4K UHD of Beastmaster a few months ago just fine. Now when I insert a BD or UHD, MakeMKV reports "No Disc Inserted".
Has anyone else run into this & been able to resolve?
I'm on MacOS 10.14.6.
Attached drive info from MakeMKV 1.16.3

Hey Billy - thanks for the quick reply!
I should have mentioned that it's still reading DVDs. Is there a separate laser for DVDs, or can the laser fail to a point where it's reading DVDs, but not Blu-rays?
Thanks for any info/advice
