Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - GUIDE: How to Decrypt/Rip Blu-Ray Discs (UPDATED!) *Information on HD-DVDs included*

I appreciate the effort that went into the guide, but I'm new at ripping Blu-Rays (have been ripping DVDs for years). So I follow all the steps exactly: Rip with AnyDVD, use Tsmuxer to pull out the feature only, create an image with ImgBurn, load with DaemonTools and attempt to play. (I did skip the combining together step, as I only have 1 .m2ts for my feature). Tsmuxer finishes without problem and it looks like a valid BD disc structure. Again, ImgBurn creates the image successfully. I load it up with DaemonTools, but then PowerDVD (or the built in HP BD DVD Play tool that came with my system) refuse to play it. PowerDVD says I need to update - it attempts it, but doesn't actually update anything, and basically stops playback there. HP BD DVD Play does pretty much the same exact routine. I've tried with 2 or 3 different discs and have the same result every time. I'm running Vista 64-bit, if that makes any difference.

Any thoughts/help/advice would be appreciated.
