DVD Decrypter Equivalent for Blu-Ray?

[consultant]

Is there a close equivalent to DVD Decrypter but for Blu-Ray in which there is an IFO mode that you can set to split by chapter? I need it for ripping my Blu-Ray Music Videos. I'm using DVD Decrypter and Staxrip for DVD Music Videos.

Those BluRays are likely formatted as 1 song equals 1 title...

AnyDVD isn't a decrypter.

AnyDVD isn't a decrypter.

Interesting.
What does it do then?

Hi!

Perhaps the apparent contradiction and confusion regarding what AnyDVD is or isn't is likely due to postings made here by its supporters/moderators - for example, the following post made by "SamuriHL" (a Slysoft moderator, I believe):

What you continually fail to realize is that AnyDVD was not designed to rip discs. It's designed as an on demand protection removal driver.

So I guess it decrypts the discs.

It circumvents the protections on the disk so it can be copied by something as simple as "copy" and "paste" from within Windows Explorer. It doesn't decrypt the files and rip to another format, which is what the OP asked for.

It does decrypt the files or else you wouldn't be able to play or reencode them after you copied them to the harddisk because they'd still be encrypted with AACS/AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). It doesn't rip to another format, but neither does DVD Decrypter. That's what he uses StaxRip for.

That's a confusing way of phrasing it.

Decrypting is circumventing the protections, and AnyDVD decrypts the files on the fly making them accessible to all other applications.

Ripping is the act of removing the protections and copying to hard disk.

Converting to another format is re-encoding.

It has been stated by others now, but still to clarify (AnyDVD's reputation is at risk here :) ):

- AnyDVD does decrypt, so yes it's a decrypter and it also removes protections on the fly.
- AnyDVD wasn't designed to be a ripper, because it has a more elegant and generic way of presenting an unprotected disc to the system, but since some requested that feature (and also many don't understand the magic of AnyDVD and still think, you have to "rip" in order to get a protection free disc), we added a ripper. So: yes, AnyDVD is a ripper, too, though initially it wasn't meant to be.
