Blu-ray Copy Mac Mini Stopped Reading ALL Drives?

[GaryJ73167]

Recently Ive been buying burner after burner trying to find one that suits me and will burn with few errors.

Many days and nights of aggravation made me come to the realization that I am just NOT going to be able to do this.

I figure, Ill get a reader and just rip my blu rays that way and convert them to APPLETV or iPad format.

Well, now, I bought a reader. My mac sees it, it mounts a DVD, but, FORTHE LIFE OF ME, DVDFab will not detect that there is a blu ray disc in the drive. I started thinking maybe it's just me. Maybe I am overlooking something, so, 1 by 1 I start to unbox the burners I am about to take back tomorrow, and NONE of them will work with DVDFab. DVDfab just keeps waiting for a blu ray even though there is one in the drive and it is mount to the desktop.

Can someone please help? I have the later version of DVDfab. I am willing to try an older version of this will work.


Edit - Please note that if I choose a "target", DVD fab is seeing all of my drives fine. it just won't let me choose a Bluray drive

Strange thing is, EVERY one of these drives worked only days ago with DVDfab. It's like a switch got pushed and every thing stopped

Not sure if this would be causing my issue, but, almost EVERY SINGLE time I close DVDfab, it crashes with this text:

Hi GaryJ73167,

I bought a reader. My mac sees it, it mounts a DVD, but, FORTHE LIFE OF ME, DVDFab will not detect that there is a blu ray disc in the drive.
.................
if I choose a "target", DVD fab is seeing all of my drives fine. it just won't let me choose a Bluray drive

Please tell us your Blu-ray drive's info like type, brand, etc.

For Blu-ray drive, we suggest LG and Pioneer, you can buy external drive or internal drive with enclosure.
The following models pass all our testing in our QA process:
LG GBW-H20L
Pioneer BDR-205

Thanks for the reply. The drive I am currently using is the below that i got from Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QA2Y9S/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

Keep in mind though, that, all of the drives I was using within the past week or two were readable via DVDFab. DVDFab sees them (for example, if I choose the drop down for the target drive), but, when trying to choose them as a source, the drop down doesent even work. It's very odd.

Do you think you can help with this please? I spent all of this money on DVDFab and am unable to use it
