LG bdrom drive not visible from virtual xp.

Hey all ,
Haven't been around in a while. Seems to be some exciting stuff going on with the world of Blu-ray backup.
Anyway, I just installed the Virtual Windows XP on my Win7rc machine. It has an LG GBC-H20L bdrom drive.
Windows 7 sees it fine and shows the disc name when I insert a BD, but the virtual xp environment sees the drive as a cd-rom and thus, I can't use anydvdhd to do backups inside this machine. My other XP machine is in pieces right now, so I'm SOL unless I can get this to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Can't you use Win 7RC instead of virtual xp?

I don't know actually. I don't think most of this video related software works with Windows7 yet, and I have some other apps I wanted to use under that as well, i.e. tsmuxer, etc. Will they work under Win7?

I know for a fact that Anydvd, Dvdfab HD Decrypter and BD Rebuilder work under Win 7RC. Check out my computer details. Been using Win 7RC for about 2 months now. On a side note, sometimes when a program doesn't respond right, Win 7RC asks if you want to re-run program with XP settings.

I didn't even think to try that actually. I just assumed that they wouldn't work. Does tsmuxer or any of the avisynth stuff work under win7rc?

[mrswla]

Not sure about tsmuxer, but I know avisynth does.

Just confirmed, tsmuxer does in fact work under win7rc. All is well again, thanks for your input.
