I hope this is the right subforum for this, but it seems to me like there is an issue in the newest version of MakeMKV at this date, v1.17.3 for win64. If I have a 1080p BD inside my Pioneer BDR-S12XLT while trying to open up MakeMKV, the program will take a very long time to open and reach its main menu where one can press on the disc drive representation to open the disc. At the same time, Windows Explorer freezes. On some occasions, the drive will freeze completely and act as if it was not even connected to power (i.e. disappears in Windows Explorer and Device Manager and refuses to eject the disc).
As soon as MakeMKV's main menu is reached and I press on the disc drive to open the BD, after a couple of errors, MakeMKV reports the disc could not be opened. I tried multiple BDs, none of them could be decrypted & transcoded, one of which I know for sure worked fine while using the previous version of MakeMKV.
I also tried to extract an ISO image of the BDs I wanted to decrypt onto the HDD using CDBurnerXP. The ISO was made without incidents, but this did not change MakeMKV's final outcome: "Can't open disc".
Using the same ISO image in DVD Fab works perfectly fine, it extracts the video, audio and subtitles flawlessly.
