AmiDVD not recogonizing drive

Oops...sorry... I forgot this is Aeon software, not Hyperions.
No response so far over on Amigans.net.
I can read a DVD and copy from it using this Asus DVD burner. But AmiDVD doesn't recognize that the drive is there. I've added "p5020sata.device 1" as a tooltype to AmiDVD hoping it might do something, but it didn't. The drive shows up in Mounter and Media Toolbox.
It will NOT read the version string of AmiDVD from the icon.
Any ideas?
Paul

Hi Paul,
AmiDVD will not run on later machines like the X5000 and A1222. The last machine it runs on is the X1000, and even there I have to revert to an old AmigaOS Final Edition version before AmiDVD will run.

@Paul:
Although if you do have the version from the Enhancer pack, I believe that one should be patched (by Jörg) to allow running also on at least X5k.
When you say you can't read the version string from the icon, I wonder if maybe the problem instead is that your installed AmiDVD program is corrupted.
Try doing a Version from the Shell on it.
@Tony:
I'm pretty sure I have been using AmiDVD fairly recently on my X1k with latest (then) beta.
Best regards,
Niels

8.System:Utilities> version AmiDVD
AmiDVD 1.51

I"ve now deleted the version I got from Updater, and replaced it with the one in the Enhancer pack. But Trixie on Amigans also said what Tony did here. Not on the X5000 or the A1222. Something to do with shortcomings of the newer SATA devices.

Yeah, I have 1.49 (on my X1000), and I'm pretty sure that was the last one to come with OS4. So 1.51 must be an Enhancer thing.
And yes, the (publically available) sata device on the X5000 makes things like burning discs a bit shaky, as you can never be sure which device name it assigns to the currently inserted disc (maybe also for other reasons). As was said, it was still an early version, WIP.
Best regards,
