So there is something "below" makemkv at play here.

I am using MakeMKV v1.14.7 and I went ahead and downloaded the latest sdf.bin from then put it in ~/.MakeMKV/ and validated that it was consumed on the next launch of makemkv.app. This SATA controller works fine with hard drives, though. But the controller is rather cheap, so it may be some sort of issue with that device. Now it can only recognize and mount CD and DVD media.Īlso note, that I attempted to use a SATA -> USB 3 controller that works with hard drives, but no disks of any kind were recognized. This set up worked successfully for both standard BD and 4K UHD BDs until I upgraded the OS from Sierra to High Sierra. Unrestricted read speed: Possible, not yet enabled In the information window of Makemkv, I see the following: The specifics of my set up for the ASUS is as follows. However, the ASUS drive only seems to recognize CD and DVD media. Upon rebooting, the Pioneer now works normally and can mount CD, DVD, and BD media.

I wanted to update this thread as the situation has changed for one of the drives.Īs mentioned how low level this issue may be, I unplugged both the internal, SATA ASUS drive (BW-16D1HT) and the USB Pioneer drive. The Pioneer, I cannot say, because I don't have experience with them right now.

The ASUS should be able to ignore that, if you're using MakeMKV 1.14.7 AND it can get the latest SDF.BIN file from. For the Pioneer, just unplugging it temporarily SHOULD reset their hardware.ĭoes MakeMKV say anything about the LibreDrive status of the two drives? If the drives were exposed to an AACS v72 or higher BD, the could have been blocked from reading BDs. When was the last time you did a power-down restart of the Mac? Like Windows computers, MacOS doesn't do a hardware reset on a reboot, and sometimes hardware glitches can persist across boots.

Blank disks don't really have a format yet, so they'll show as "no disk" until you load burning software and try to access them. The drive tries to load the directory structure from the disk to determine its format. If it were Windows, I'd suggest checking that a recent update didn't change permissions on the drives.īut the "no disk" is coming from the operating system, and probably originates in the drives themselves. I have a Mac Mini on Mojave and Blu-Rays mount okay.Īny guidance from the community would be great. I have tried everything, but can't get Blu-ray's to show up.
#Bluray for mac upgrade
I installed High Sierra, bu the firmware I have (đ.39f) is from after the release of High Sierra (firmware updates are installed when you upgrade the OS) and the firmware was released in 2018: I came across this post, which seems to indicate they think it's a firmware issue, but it's in conclusive and I don't think I can revert firmware. Has anyone heard or seen this sort of thing before? It logs nothing, then says the following in the info box: The ASUS is direct attached and the Pioneer is USB.

Optical drive "BD-RE PIONEER BD-RW BDR-XD05 1.20d" opened in OS access mode. Optical drive "BD-RE ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.01d" opened in OS access mode. I am now at macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G11023) (High Sierra) and firmware was upgraded to 1.39f11 and suddenly all Blu-ray discs stopped mounting.

I updated to High Sierra recently (to keep getting security updates) on my 2010 5,1 Mac Pro and with the update came a firmware update. I am not sure if anyone else has seen this, but it is utterly confounding.
