No Disc Inserted error

Post by dmsaudio »

Im on my second brand new Samsung SE-506CB drive and I keep getting this error. Have tried on 5 different Macs and OS Mavericks and Yosemite. Im guessing Im doing something wrong but don't know what. Drive will read standard DVDs but get "No Disc Inserted" when attempting Blu Rays. Anyone with this drive and a Mac willing to fill me in would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This issue comes up from time to time, mostly on Linux and OS X, but sometimes on Windows. The most common reason seems to be the operating system is blocking MakeMKV from talking to the drive, or is simply reporting back "no disc" when asked for access.

Sometimes rebooting helps. With external drives, sometimes unplugging and replugging helps.

But, in your case, it only seems to happen on BDs, which points to the operating system trying to control BD access.

Mike can probably shed more light on this, once he reads your message. He's not here every day, though.
