DVD Copy 8.1.9.0 no longer opens media on internal imac drive

[gazing_south]

Installed 8.1.9.0 after running the prev versions ok -
this version will not open a DVD on my internal imac drive - it hands there saying "scanning media" but never returns

On the external DVD drive - works perfectly.

the mac dvd player plays the dvd perfectly in the internal drive.

Update:

Running DVDFab 8 (latest download) under a VMWare virtual machine on the same imac allows me to see and copy the DVD from teh internal drive.
This is definitely a problem with eh mac version of the software.

Here is an issue I have.

I run DVDFab for mac with the internal dvd drive and an external dvd drive, both will detect when a dvd is inserted and runs fine.


I then plug in a USB bluray drive (samsung.) I start dvdfab, and it won't allow the internal drive or the USB dvd drive to detect when a disc is inserted, only the bluray drive works with the program.

Very weird bug in this software. I would love to help the developers understand what is going on so this can be fixed in future versions. My workaround right now is to leave the bluray drive unplugged from my computer unless I am coping an actual bluray.

This is exactly my problem - the workaround provided by Sunny was to remove the external BR player to use the internal drive - which I am now forced to do.

I have provided him details so they can research a fix as this doesn't happen with the windows version as far as I can tell.

Also - when you look in the drives dialog box under settings mine doesn't list any drive being available - he's passing this onto the dev team as well - you should be able to deselect the drive here to force DVDFab to use the internal drive.

Cheers

I do want to point out that I have been having this issue since well before the 8.1.9.0 release. I think drive detection has been wonky since the first non-beta release.

In general I like this program, but it has not been the most stable program, but it is the only option on the mac for bluray decryption that I know of.

Oh, and I have the same drive detection box (in the settings menu) that has always been blank, never has listed any drives. I just assumed that was junk left over from the windows port that is useless in OS X.

DVDFab can't open media

I do not even have an external drive and DVDFab can only open a few DVD's with the internal drive and it can not open any iso files on my internal drive. It stays stuck in scanning mode and it will not even let me cancel out of it.

I have to do a Force Shut to get it to close!
