The program can't find any usable optical drives.

Post by ipkha »

The latest version on Win10 x64 doesn't detect my Blu-Ray drives.
The older version did, so I am confused.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian

The answer: and I explain this to customers all
the time. When using drive in an enclosure don’t run makemkv until you’ve put a disc in the drive, closes the tray, and hear the drive start to read the disc, you’ll hear it making noise, like. 5-10 seconds after closing the tray. Then run MakeMKV it’ll pick it up every time.
It’s like MakeMKV initializes so fast it can miss
the fact that there’s a drive connected unless the drive is doing something with a disc. Or at least that’s the way I think about it. Lemme know if that helps.

It's a Sata connected Internal Drive.
The UHD disk is detected in Explorer as well.
Both Drives are Libre Compatible.

Hmm, ok then, my answer won't apply in this situation but if there's an external drive involved it's definitely something to try :D

Awesome, thanks for the help.
I added an exception for MakeMKV and it works fine now.
