DVDFAB not loading disc ? (V12.0.4.9)

[Soni74]

I placed disc in USB blu ray drive. Windows explorer detects the disc but DVDFAB doesn't. I loaded a disc previously ripped and it doesn't detect that either. I have tried the following: Reinstalling windows: Disabling and renabling the usb drive. Deauthorising and re authorising DVDFAB. Ensuing DVDFAB is an exception in Windows firewall. Tried other ripping software which opened and read the disc fine.

Please attach the DVDFab internal log file.

2021.10.09-21:23:04 (13472): Source manager: open source flag:1,0,1,1,1

It's not my bluray usb drive, i've used another sofware and its reading the drive fine, also blu ray disc plays via windows media player as well .

I'm stuck ....

This is happening to me on version 12.0.5.2. Ripper and copy will not load a disc. Passkey gives an error that drive is not active if I try to rip with that. I can rip a disc using Handbrake with Passkey running.

okay I have the same problem with version 12.0.5.2 I'm trying to rip my bought copies of Everybody Loves Raymond they're NEW to put on my Plex Server and it sit there and does nothing at first I thought it was the Blu Ray Burners grant it they're almost 10 years old so replaced both of them that wasn't it so ya I reinstalled Windows 10 because too it was 10 years old that didn't fix it so now there is something broken in DVDFAB I hope these help because after that it CRASHES big time I have to Force Close DVDFAB

K. Doing some more testing loaded up my bought new House series to rip and it worked like a champ so I’m starting think bad DVD but they have only been out of the box once to watch years ago I can’t figure a DVD going bad just sitting in a environment control space with not a scratch on them. So today I’m going down and rent the ELR season 9 because none of them loaded BUT they play fine in a DVD player go figure. Can they be that cheap of a DVD media to deteriorate that fast over time.

More testing. NOPE that’s not it I bought another copy SAMETHING something is not reading on the dvd because I tried another program samething will not read so it is the dvd BUT what.

Have you tried cleaning the disc? Sometimes there is a film on the disc surface that impedes readability. Not a frequent problem, but worth trying.
Of course the discs could be defective - even just sitting in your cabinet. The data layer can become corroded over time if improperly manufactured.

[DCrusher]

yes tried that on multiple disc didn’t change anything BUT scratch a perfect clean disc to look like hell.

[Rich86]

what did you use to clean the disc? I've always used a discwasher (or clone) device and their cleaning fluid without scratching anything.
below seems to be the latest version of what I use . .

start dvdfab, click common settings - general settings - click the factory default settings button in
the lower left corner of the general settings area, restart dvdfab and see if the discs will now read.
