Try to get help from a friend with a Windows PC. Did you make sure no disc in drive and tray is closed? It usually works with Parallels.

Yes, the tray was empty and closed. I'll try VMware or connecting it to my Synology NAS with forwadding the usb port to a VM on the NAS.Coopervid wrote: Wed Aug 06, 2025 7:35 pmTry to get help from a friend with a Windows PC.

Making it complicated doesn't help. VMWare or pure Windows will work.joshi21 wrote: Wed Aug 06, 2025 8:19 pmYes, the tray was empty and closed. I'll try VMware or connecting it to my Synology NAS with forwadding the usb port to a VM on the NAS.
In my case it helped. The weird way using VM on my NAS was the only way it worked for me. Thank you very much!Coopervid wrote: Wed Aug 06, 2025 8:22 pmMaking it complicated doesn't help.

Today I got my first two 4K Blu Ray Movies to try it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I cross flashed my drive following your tutorial and flashing process seemed to work fine. But 4K Movies can't be played or ripped. Do you know another solution?Coopervid wrote: Wed Aug 06, 2025 8:22 pmMaking it complicated doesn't help.

This is the data from MakeMKV BEFORE I cross flashed the drive. As MakeMKV is dead now I cant use it to get current information after flashing:Coopervid wrote: Wed Aug 13, 2025 12:45 pmPost your Makemkv info.joshi21 wrote: Wed Aug 13, 2025 12:23 pmToday I got my first two 4K Blu Ray Movies to try it.
