| | Posted: | | | | I added a BlueRay Player to my PC and took out the DVD reader as it was old and not working. I cannot configure DVDPro 3.8.1 to recognise the drive to scan disc ids etc...
Is this a bug, feature or future feature request?
BlueRay players and cutters are relatively cheap and I think DVDPRO should be able to recognise and use them.
Thanks for your support |

| | Posted: | | | | Since DVDP is using the BR drive only to read out the DiscID that should be (and is) possible without any disc protection removal.
What does the list show in Tools -> Options -> System show? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | I have a blu-ray drive and can read discs with no problems in Profiler. Your settings must be wrong, possibly? |

| | Posted: | | | | If you have a problem accessing your player in your OS, it could be a hardware problem. Otherwise Pantheon is correct and it is probably a configuration problem (in Options --> System you can choose which drive to use).
The copy protection used on Blu-ray discs should not be a problem, I have a Blu-ray reader / DVD writer in my PC and DVDProfiler reads the disc IDs without any trouble. |

| | Posted: | | | | OK I think I fixed it. Lets provide more facts first. I used to haver a Liteon DVD writer and DVDPRO recognised that under Tools-Option-SYSTEM-DVDROM Drives as drive W:
I am in a middle of cutting my 1500 DVDs to 12TB server, so I installed TWO Liteon BlueRay RW drives. They are identical BlueRay writable devices and the OS sees tham as Drives A: and B: but DVDPRO would NOT.
I just thought maybe DVDPRO does not like the fact that I called them A: & B: as in the old DOS days these were reserved for Floppy drives. Remember I have just used DVDFAP to COPY nearly 1100 of my DVDs so far using drives A: & B: but DVDPRO did not like it
So I just renamed them in DiskManager to drives J: and K: and DVDPRO can see them now.
Lesson learnt.... Thanks for your suggestions... |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, even after all these years, the drive letters A: and B: you should not use unless for actual floppy disc drives.
It's not just DVDP that might have a problem with that.
My guess is that DVDP did not really implement a search for drives in their software but they use a system call for that and that doesn't seems to return the A: and B: drives. | | | Karsten

Thanks for your support Which OS do you use? Older Windows versions have no compatible UDF driver that supports UDF 2.5 and above. For Win XP you need this: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/UDF-Reader |

It's not just DVDP that might have a problem with that. Totally agree - often the Bios will check for media in A & B and try to boot from it if present (because if you get a C drive failure it needs to know where to look for your recovery disc). | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |
