The program can't find any usable optical drives.

Hi there,

I'm getting the following problem.

MakeMKV v1.8.11 win(x64-release) started
The program can't find any usable optical drives.

I have windows 8.1 x64 bit and I recently just added a Pioneer BDR-209D blu-ray burner. I'm trying to rip some of my blu-ray movies for backup. I'm very interested in purchasing this program if it works. Windows sees the drive just fine. I've updated the firmware to 1.20 and rebooted the PC. I still have the problem where the program can't see the drive.

Anyone have any idea?

Oh I got it working by right clicking and did "run as administrator" and it picked up the drive. If it works I'll probably buy it.

Is this program still being developed and updated?

Yes, MakeMKV is still under active development.
