MakeMKV sometimes does not see my optical drives

Post by philhu » Fri Sep 13, 2013 2:41 pm

Win8, v1.8.5

I used this to make mkv of about 7 disks, worked great.

I inadventently used the drive buttons instead of the eject button on the screen in makemkv to eject disks in both on my drives and replace with more disks.

Now, Makemkv keeps saying it cannot find any optical drives.

VLC Player, dvd decrypter, Anydvd hd all see them and they work on them.

This is the wierd part, I rebooted, everything works fine EXCEPT MAKEMKV. It still says it cannot find any optical drives.
