Direct Access on OS X

[slyreptile]

Looking forward to this. I recently purchased a read-only blu-ray drive for my mac pro (don't need a burner!). I didn't bother to check the forums first and found out the hard way the drive doesn't work. .....sigh.....Please help me get rid of Windows!

that sounds great. been using a usb adaptor and virtualbox for ripping at the moment but it's slow as hell. also looking forward to being able to stream blurays to plex without any jumping. any chance of getting a rough timeline of when this will be implimented? not talking specifics, just something like days, weeks or months. next release, 2 releases away, 3 releases away etc...

thanks for a great app,

Shouldn't be slow. Definitely make sure your plugging the usb into the computer directly and not through a hub or the apple keyboard usb ports. Makes a HUGE difference speed wise.

On a side note to this I thought Snow Leopard is slow with it's NTFS built-in ability http://ntfsmounter.com/ (free utility) to copy data to a NTFS formatted drive. It is when plugged into my usb hub or apple keyboard usb ports. Ironically if I plug same drive formatted as HFS+ into apple keyboard usb ports then it copys fast. But copy speeds almost the same when I have that NTFS drive plugged directly into computer.

Still looking forward to a fix for this! Otherwise, I'll just use DVD Decryptor on my Windows machine to brute force it from my unpatched internal drive. This accursed Apple SuperDrive keeps spitting out access errors, even when it claims to be using direct mode.
