Just got a Blu-Ray drive, everything is borked
Yes, I realize I'm 14 years late to the party, but I just got my first Blu-Ray drive as a belated birthday present and I'd like to start ripping and converting the two Blu-Rays that I have (Bumblebee and Tron Legacy). Or at least watch them. But I'm having two problems so far.
The first is that neither VLC nor MPC can make heads or tails of my Blu-Rays. One of them, on one movie, was kind enough to say something about AACS, so I downloaded the key and the .dll and put them in the right places on my hard drive and now all four possible combinations of player and disc tell me "I can't open that, I don't know what went wrong, go f**k yourself" So, any help with that would be lovely. But it's not necessary, as long as I can rip... right? So, I'd like to be pointed in the direction of a free, no-bullshit tool that just copies the m2ts files from the disc to a hard drive without touching them (except possibly splitting and joining). Something like Smartripper or DVD Decrypter, but for Blu-rays. I do not need to clone the whole disc, nor do I need a single tool that does both ripping and recompressing. The forums do have a guide, but it seems to be from 2008 and is focused on whole-movie or whole-disc backup rather than on getting files to import into AVIsynth.

Thanks, I'll try that
I've also found the thread on getting Blu-rays to play with "libre" software. After following all of those steps, I'm happy to report that Tron Legacy is playable, though Bumblebee is not.

Well, my first attempt at doing anything productive with MakeMKV resulted in an indiscriminate, but successful, data dump of EVERYTHING from the disc to an external hard drive, without repacking into a new container format. A bit messy but definitely usable.
Edit: and it looks like the m2ts files can be ported straight into AVIsynth using ffmpegsource2 (though the audio and video require separate imports), cutting out the need for DGindex. VERY nice! Everything works smoothly and I have a shiny new XviD AVI file made from one of the featurettes on the Bumblebee Blu-ray. Edit 2: Featurettes work fine. Movies themselves still require a separate indexing step performed by ffmsindex.exe; otherwise, the program you're trying to open the video with will stop responding. If ffmsindex is run directly, it opens for 1/10th of a second and then quits, but right-clicking on the m2ts file and selecting "open with..." will make it behave. And that's good for video. Audio is still thwarting me because ffaudiosource wants to overwrite the index file and then we're back to Virtualdub crashing. Edit 3: Workaround found. I can use TSmuxer to extract the audio to an ac3 file, then import that ac3 file into avisynth using nicac3source().

Bumblebee has Bus Encryption enabled on the disc, which is actually not that common on standard Blu-ray. Having just the VUK or Unit Keys is not sufficient to play it back; a Host Certificate that hasn't been revoked by the drive is also necessary, although if using the patched libaacs* that also caches the RDK, the non-revoked Host cert is only needed the first time the disc is played back in that drive.

But anyway, I now have 32.2 gigs of "bumblebee.m2ts" on the largest of my external hard drives so I'll never need to worry about bus encryption again
