Bad disk or a bad drive. That's the only explanation I can think of. It might be some sort of "copy protection" but I'm really really stretching on that one I think.

I had a bad CD drive and those were the symptoms, the drive would spin and then nothing would happen.

The easiest way is simple, - download it.
Oh no, no money needed, just register for the tryout version, then you can write your serial into it.
Voilá, it will work!
Believe me!

Good luck.

@ Heyvern
Yes, you see the CD itself can be a little bit "decentered".
I had also this problem some years ago with a Poser CD.

could this have anything to do with the fact that it is on a macbook?

No.

It has to be a bad disk as mentioned above or something wrong with the CD drive in your mac book.

Just to be sure I would make sure that the disk you have is for Mac and not Windows. Even if you got the Windows version of Anime Studio by mistake the disk should still mount you just wouldn't be able to install anything (unless you have Bootcamp or something simillar).

EDIT:

Not sure if disk load issues would show up in the crash log on the mac but you could check that. It might show something that is causing the problem.
