"Blu-ray Disc Ripper 1.5" - a program to copy Blu-ray discs. (UPDATED!)

[SuperGoof]

Blu-ray Disc Ripper 1.5 - 22-Nov-2008

- Improved the interface for selecting BD-Live cache folder. Added support for ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre BD-Live cache folders.

Download link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/dedvp7

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Blu-ray Disc Ripper 1.4 - 29-Oct-2008

- Changed the program to use Volume Unique Key instead of CPS Unit Key. Blu-ray discs having multiple CPS Unit Keys (e.g. Iron Man) can now be copied. Please use DumpVID (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124294&page=13) and AACSKeys (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123311) to get a Volume Unique Key for your disc.

- The program now checks whether the provided key results in successful decrypting. Also, it won't attempt to decrypt non-encrypted files.

- Added an option to decrypt downloaded .m2ts / .m2t files in PowerDVD's BD-Live cache folders.

- The program now copies 'AACS' folder (and renames it to 'SLY!'). It might be needed for BD-Live enabled titles to decrypt related downloaded content.

- Removed Blu-ray region code related functionality. Please use Blu-ray Region Code Remover (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135620) for this.

- Minor user interface changes.

Hi Everyone,

There is a new program out there which allows you to copy / decrypt / backup a Blu-ray Disc.

It can remove Blu-ray region code as well!

It's called "Blu-ray Disc Ripper 1.2 for .NET".

It is written in Visual Basic and requires Vista or XP with .NET Framework 2.0 to run.

You can download it here:

The program in action:

Hmmm. There is a big billboard in there asking the user to "evaluate AnyDVD HD from SlySoft.com".

What exactly is the connection between AnyDVD HD and this program, or its author?

There is no formal connection. The author is just a big fan of Slysoft!

Is their a Source Code?:devil:

very good program:thanks:

[Ajax_Undone]

Not to sound repetitive but to save this thread from extinction I was just wondering!!!

And are you going to continue its development

[SuperGoof]

Well... There is a source code.

OK. Since I would never have written this program if I did not see BackupBluRayv021 code, I will share decrypting part of the code of this program.

Here it is:

I won't share user interface code. Sorry.

[SuperGoof]

And are you going to continue its development

I don't know. Maybe I will look into implementing standard AACS authentication so that there is no need to search for a CPS key. But it won't be very soon.

[SuperGoof]

very good program:thanks:

Thanks!

This is a great program, but on certain movies in the middle of ripping I am getting a Data Redundancy error. CRC failed. Anyone know what this may be?

[SvT]

This is a great program, but on certain movies in the middle of ripping I am getting a Data Redundancy error. CRC failed. Anyone know what this may be?

"Data Redundancy error" has something to do with the data being read from the disc. A common cause is a damaged/dirty disc but it can also be your drive. (try google for "Data Redundancy error" and you'll find lot's of info)

It has nothing to do with the "Blu-ray Ripper" program !

Goodluck !

[willn333]

This is a brand new drive and I am able to rip other movies, it is just certain ones that are having a problem. So the only solution is to try and clean the disc?

[SuperGoof]

I'm surprised that no one was interested in the algorithm this program uses to remove Blu-ray region code, and how I come up with it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think AnyDVD HD and this program are currently the only two programs in the world which can remove Blu-ray region code.

[willn333]

SuperGoof, I am wondering exactly why my aacs keys is not decrypting anymore. Did they revoke the PowerDVD host key that was being used? If so, why would I be revoked since I haven't played any newer movies other than the ones I have already ripped a couple of weeks ago? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[bob0r]

@SuperGoof

I think because of MKB V4 and BDSVM (BD+) everyone is too busy hoping these will be "opened" soon.
If you fix that, then i am sure people will wonder how :p

The host key used by "AACS Keys" was revoked long time ago. So "AACS Keys" should only be used in combination with DumpVID:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124294&page=13

First you find VID with DumpVID, and then use it with "AACS Keys".

If this still does not work, then probably your disc has new MKB and cannot be decrypted with processing key (this is different from host key) used by "AACS Keys".

:) This is what I thought, too. Removing Blu-ray region code looks too trivial compared to cracking BD+.

[Adub]

Here I will prompt your:
How did you design the algorithm for the removal of Blue-ray region coding?

Seriously, I am kind of curious.

[SuperGoof]

Here I will prompt your:

OK. Here is the story.

I knew for long time that in order to remove Blu-ray region code, AnyDVD only modifies MovieObject.bdmv file. One day I accidentally came across file called "MovieObject.xsd". I found it in program folders of one of the Sonic's programs. Then I made an attempt to match real MovieObject.bdmv file from one of my Blu-ray movies with that schema. I spent an evening doing that, and to my surprise, I succeeded in doing so. After that, I wrote a program which parses MovieObject.bdmv file and converts it to readable and analyzable form, MovieObject.bdmv.txt file.

Then I applied this program to all 18 MovieObject.bdmv files of 18 Blu-ray movies I had at that time (In fact, only 6 of them had region code). Also I applied it to AnyDVD's modified versions of MovieObject.bdmv files (4 different versions of each file - with different AnyDVD settings: Automatic, Region A, B, and C). Then I compared original and AnyDVD's versions of MovieObject.bdmv.txt files. After that, I figured out the algorithm. Also, to make sure that the criteria I was going to use to decide when to modify a byte, are indeed correct, I was opening each MovieObject.bdmv.txt file in Excel, and did some analysis after applyng standard filter.

The biggest surpise to me after all that was that I figured out that my original theory on what exactly AnyDVD does when it removes Blu-ray region code was wrong. I thought that it does some kind of re-routing. In fact, from the code it looks like it substitutes region code which supposed to come from player, with predefined region code which you tell it to use. So this happens before any routing.

So you see that in fact all the credit for removing Blu-ray region code should go to Slysoft. I just did some reverse engineering. :)

Here you can download the code:

Hi, SuperGoof,

Thank you for your program :thanks:. Here are some questions and suggestions:

1. Where exactly is the Blu-Ray Region code stored and how is it structured (in comparison to the DVD Region code)?

2. Could you please add a "Preview" option (with full screen and audio playback) as "DVDShrink" has for DVDs? Like that, your program could also serve as THE FIRST FREE MULTI-REGION BLU-RAY PLAYER SOFTWARE :D. Of course, if it could also play and rip Region-DVDs, this would be great, too.

Many greetings, :)

[Ajax_Undone]

yeah about that that seems like a lot of programing...

to bad there is no defined codec in the open source world to decode it just commercial...

Hello,

On the SlySoft Forum, one has suggested that SlySoft release its own media player. It could play Region-locked DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, be adjusted to the new protections in every new version, and make us independent from PowerDVD/WinDVD, the patches of which try to complicate the access to the media contents. Here is the thread:

http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=9552

Please support this idea. If you are a registered Forum user, please post in the Forum, if not, send an e-mail to SlySoft to convince them.

Thank you and many greetings, :)

Yes, but that's only part of the story.
This will not suffice with certain discs, like Speed and several others ;)

[Peer van Heuen]

On the SlySoft Forum, one has suggested that SlySoft release its own media player.

Well, that one has been talked about, wrapped up and stored away, forgotten, revived, dumped again, ...

The folks here who have been working with the internals of BD/HD know, what an incredible amount of work this would be.

We're not really keen on going there, so far we're happy with the way things are.

As many of you, we were waiting for more players to show up on the market. The competition would then force them to remember that these players should actually be designed for the customer, not for AACS LA. (Sidenote: this should actually be true for the studios as well, but I'm afraid, they have already gone over to the daaark side :scared: ).

But we all know, this is not really happening. Instead of things getting better, they are getting worse.

Cyberlink is playing "good doggy" to the AACS in fear of losing their license. Now they don't play HD content from HDD anymore at all. And I hear of quite a few refunds being demanded just because of this. Sad, I actually liked that player.

So with the options getting less, it is again time to unwrap the idea of creating a real alternative. Whether we do it or some open source crowd (MPlayer?). Neither of which are likely to get a license agreement with AACS :)

But who'd care? We'd have a plain HD player that does what's neccessary - only. And have AnyDVD HD remove the AACS bullshit.
And this combination would work the way we - in all our naivity - thought HD content was supposed to work.
Without these fuzzy, purposly misleading, oracular error messages telling me that some "critical update" might improve my kharma in some way instead of blatantly telling me, that I forgot to ask support to send me a newly arrived update that at last will allow me to play the disc I bought last month, simply because my 2 week old version doesn't know how to decrypt it.

[ron spencer]

yes who cares about license anyway.....hard drive playing has no ACSS anyway LOL.....make us a player team slysoft!!!!


If you make it...they will come.

[Gusar]

So with the options getting less, it is again time to unwrap the idea of creating a real alternative. Whether we do it or some open source crowd (MPlayer?). Neither of which are likely to get a license agreement with AACS :)An idea would be that either you create yourself or fund an opensource coder to create a libhdread library, which would do for hd-dvd and blu-ray what libdvdread does for dvds.

To clarify, right now it's possible to do 'mplayer dvd://1', where libdvdread will parse the necessary files on the disc to find out what is title 1 and then mplayer will play it back. With a libhdread library, you could do 'mplayer hddvd://1' or 'mplayer bluray://1'.

Being open source, even Media Player Classic could use this library. So you would have AnyDVD do the decrypting, libhdread would do the parsing, ffdshow would provide the decoders and MPC would be the player.

What do you think about this idea?

[SuperGoof]

Yes, but that's only part of the story.
This will not suffice with certain discs, like Speed and several others ;)

Hi Peer,

Yes, I know. My program does not support at all the removal of region code if it is checked by BD-J script. (AnyDVD does, as far as I know, though I don't have a single such disc). Also, the algorithm was created and tested purely by doing experiments on 20 or so BDs I have. (As I don't not have access to BD spec.) So I will not be much surprised if it does not work with some "normal" ("bdmv") BDs as well (though I believe it should). That's why I put links to AnyDVD there.

Anyway, until someone finds MKBv4 key (or cracks AnyDVDs database of movie keys :)), this program is useless for new titles.

Well, I would very much prefer the real thing - a player that plays a HD disc including all features with menus and all.
Just playing a title is more a question of having the right codecs, that's something, mplayer will be able to do very soon anyway (it's even supposed to support VC-1 now, but I didn't manage to get that working yet, anyway it's being worked on).

EDIT: and having written that down, I realize, that we're hijacking this thread somewhat...

[Doom9]

I'm a bit puzzled why people seem to think you can just license bits and pieces of a spec, e.g. BDAV & BDMV + BD-J without AACS. I suppose chances are better for HDi which doesn't seem to be married to HD DVD but I honestly wouldn't just consider it a given that any commercial entity could create a player that did just what the user wanted.

You might get away with not licensing anything for a freeware player - but keep in mind how long it took from the launch of DVD to freeware players... it took years. And both HD formats do have a lot more features so it will certainly be considerably harder to reverse engineer the navigation features and implement them if you don't have access to the specs (and as I said.. they're not freely available).

[zag2me]

When it comes to features for a HD-DVD/Blueray disk player, All I want to do is play the movie :)

I always thought Powerdvd was slow and bloated.

[A Pal]

Hello,

The KMPlayer people say:

"If there are free directshow filters for bd/hd playback, it can be used in any players based upon that structure just like dvd playback."

So what about developing such filters (with disc Region support, if possible)? Then SlySoft would not need to develop a completely new player, and we would have a FREE BD/HD player.

Many greetings, :)

I ripped a blu ray disk just fine using your software, but now i can not open the files in cyberlink. when i am trying to 'open a movie file from the hard disk ', cyberlink does not recognize the files as movie files and will not let me select any of the folders which were created during the ripping process. is there something else i need to do? also, is there a way to get these ripped movies to show up in windows media center?

Unfortunately, newer versions of PowerDVD Ultra do not support playback of Blu-ray movies from hard drive. These include versions 3319f and 3516 (current as of the time of writing). You have to use older versions if you want to play Blu-ray folders from hard drive: 3319a or 3104 will work just fine.

Another solution is to create an .iso image from your folders with Nero Burning ROM 7 or 8 (you have to explicitly select UDF 2.5 file system while doing so) and mount the image with software like "Virtual Clone Drive" or "Daemon Tools". This way PowerDVD Ultra ver. 3516 should work as soon as the disc does not have BD+. And yours probably doesn't.

Third method is to play .m2ts files with movies alone (without menus etc.). You can use various software to do so, including PowerDVD Ultra (even the latest one). The best way is to install "Haali Media Splitter" (which will allow you to choose audio tracks) and use any DirectShow-enabled Media Player, e.g "Windows Media Player" or "Media Player Classic". This method is useful only for discs with simple file structure, e.g. one continuous .m2ts file per movie. Otherwise you have to use some software to create such continuous file.

Just use one of the older versions of PowerDVD Ultra: 3104, 3319 or 3319a. This is what most people do.

Latest "Nero ShowTIme" and "ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre" reportedly play from hard drive as well, but I didn't try them yet, so I cannot tell you how good they are. People reported various problems with these two programs.

I like how your program uses anydvdhd to allow copying of Blu-rays to the harddrive but when I try to use some of the muxing tools to create a TS file of only the main movie none of them can read the *.m2ts files that get created out of ripper. I tried tsremux and tsmuxer and I get messages stating they cannot identify what kind of stream the *.m2ts files are.

I have used both programs succesfully in the past after using FABDVDHDdecryptor but that has since stopped working when I used a new Blu-ray disc, The Invisible.

I am running vista home premium.

Please anyone givem some ideas as to what mightbe wrong or if you need more information to get this resolved.

Thanks

My best guess is that Blu-ray movies which cannot be opened / remuxed using tsremux, have BD+ in them. BD+ titles are not currently fully decrypted by AnyDVD. It removes AACS encryption, but, because of BD+, .m2ts files still cannot be played back directly or remuxed. The only way to play back such rips is to use PowerDVD 3104, 3319 or 3319a. Newer versions do not play such rips.

Blueray Discs Movies and it's Blank Media both cost over $20 per disc. Is it worth ripping a Blueray disc? It was a blow finding out that Blueray won over HDDVD. No surprise, when SONY practically owns Hollywood. It's a monopoly we are forced to swallow. I am not happy about this decision. Shame on Toshiba for selling HDDVD units then deciding to only support Blue-Ray. Samsung is putting out a Dual format player next month. What's next? No Games in HDDVD format for The XBOX 360? Microsoft is not going to idly stand by and allow Sony to dominate the industry. Remember, what happened with Sony's Beta catridge and their poorly designed Playstation 2 redesigns at the consumer's expense. The battle for Media dominence has just begun. Do not Support Sony BlueRay until the industry gives the consumer what we deserve, more choices, or alternatives. This will force the prices down. BlueRay players are going to go through many firmware upgrades, but SONY, states with their Playstation 3, this will not be a problem. Let's wait and see how the Playstation holds up to a game console and your Blue-Ray DVD Movie player. The word out is that with Broadband, users will be not have to be concerned with formats. Many networks are streaming episodes on the internet free and new services will offer pay per movie on the internet very soon. Each provider with their own player. You will have to download free software to view your movie. Personally, right now, I suggest you get yourself a Upconverter DVD Player until we know for sure what the future holds for the consumer. Be careful which Upconverter you buy. The new upconverters will only play movies with copyright protection. The older Upconverters do not have this feature. Do not wait too long. Stores are removing older units to force consumers to buy the newer models. If you choose to use a HDMI Cable, it has built-in copyright protection in the cable. Use the RGB 3 wire Cable. You will still get a 720 or 1080dpi picture. I saw 6 head VCRs that look great. Do yourself a favor and get one. VCRs won't be around for much longer. :helpful:
