AnyDVD 7.4.1.0 scans DVD continuously (loop)

[nitewulf69]

I have an LG BH12LS38 Bluray reader/rewriter that's several years old. I haven't had any problem with the drive or AnyDVD until the other day. After updating to one of the latest beta releases of AnyDVD, I noticed that on startup of the PC, AnyDVD would get stuck in a loop scanning the DVD (I often play regular DVDs in the drive and use a second regular DVD burner to make copies of DVDs). The second drive works as it should with AnyDVD. I updated the firmware to the latest version ( for the LG BD drive) and also upgraded AnyDVD to the latest final release (7.4.1.0). If I disable or exit AnyDVD, the Bluray drive plays DVDs and Bluray discs fine.

As I have used AnyDVD for years with no problems with this drive, I'm assuming that my LG Bluray burner is simply malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. The only threads I found about continuous scanning by AnyDVD were old. I deleted the drive in Device Manager and reinstalled it with no effect and the cables and connections appear ok. Anything I might have missed before I buy a new drive?

log file of Empty drive? And is you drive Region set??? Usually continuously loop is because drive Region isn't hardware set not the Anydvd HD region emulator.

Region is set to 1 with 4 changes remaining according to Device Manager. Logfile of empty BD drive is attached if I did it right.
