GUIDE: How to Decrypt/Rip Blu-Ray Discs (UPDATED!) *Information on HD-DVDs included*

[Lincoln Burrows]

Yes... but I will do some tests later, so far I believe this is a bug introduced by TSMuxer. Unless I need to do that change only in the original disc, not the already decrypted files stored in my HDD.

I need to ask you guys something:

- How should I proceed (having AnyDVD-HD here) to decrypt a Blu-ray disc to my Hard-Drive, leaving the whole thing untouched (no compression, the same way as we see on the original disc) to my Hard Drive? Like decrypting a disc but using DVD-9 profile?

I mean, the only thing I would like to change it's to remove the region code (of course). Should I also enable the option "Disable BDLive" inside AnyDVD-HD? All default options will be enough for me?

If we were talking about any commercial DVD I would say (use the option "Decrypt DVD-Video to Hard-Drive" - that will accomplish what I am looking for). How should we do that for a Blu-ray disc, having the whole thing untouched (and of course, region free) into our HDD?

EDIT: I think I found the answer I was looking for - when decrypting Blu-rays, I believe I should use "Decrypt to image" option and disable the "Keep All Protections" box when asked. It will save the whole disc in ISO (on my HDD), but I guess it's possible to unpack those files/folders (BDMV/STREAM) to my HDD as well, so I don't need to use ISO if I don't want to. That was what I didn't realize at first. As for BD-Live, I have read the thread explaining this feature and decided to disable for now.

There's no plain answer to that question, because it depends a lot on what you're doing and what you have:

• BD-live:
  You may choose to disable BD-live for privacy reasons.
  You may also choose disable because BD-live simply will not work anymore with an unprotected disc. SuperGoof made a tool, though, that will fix that for those who desperately need BD-live.
  
• ISO or files:
  If you're running PowerDVD, you have no choice anyway, because it will not play folders, you'll need a mounted ISO on VirtualCloneDrive.
  Using TMT, you have the choice.
  
• leave protection or remove
  If you have an ISO with the full protection, AnyDVD will be removing the protection on the fly, so you can still watch the movie. This has the advantage of allowing to change settings in AnyDVD that will reflect on the outcome at anytime later still (remove region code or not, remove BD-live or not, activate the PDVD virtual drive workaround or not, ...).
  But you can't burn that ISO onto a disc and then play the disc on a standalone player without AnyDVD running.

Hello,

I have a Popcorn Hour A-110 and i'd like to decrypt blu-rays to play on it. But before buying a Blu-ray dive can someone tell me how long does it take to decrypt a blu-ray to the hard drive ? Is it in minutes or in hours ?

If it's too long i think i'll probably buy a home blu-ray player.

Thanks

It depends on a lot of things. My LG drives can rip a disc in under an hour on average. You need a fast hard drive and a decent BD drive. At peak, my LG drive does over 20MB/s, but, remember it's a variable speed drive so you won't get 20MB/s consistently across the whole disc. The typical disc takes me about 35-45 minutes on average to rip to my hard drive as a full ISO image.

Thanks seems like now working

[SamuriHL]

Excellent. Glad I could help!

Is MPCHC a viable alternative to PowerDVD7 for playing fully ripped Blu-Ray Discs using the method(s) decribed in this guide?

Regards

[QuadcoreHD]

From what I've quickly read it looks like it does not work well and is not "plug and play" as is PowerDVD7 (sorry i know that probably isn't the answer you were looking for). I would really recommend getting a copy of it, it is a great program and has never given me trouble.

I have a strange question. I don't have a Blu-Ray drive myself, just a player. But I have a friend who does and he only runs Linux.
Is it possible for me to bring my movie over to his machine, copy the files on to a external hard drive on Linux, bring it back home, and then remove the protection with AnyDVD on my Windows machine?

If so, how can it be done? I'm not a Linux user, so I'm not sure which command to use.
I heard on a PS3, you can use: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/image.iso, but I'm not sure if that still works.

[setarip_old]

Hi!

If so, how can it be done? I'm not a Linux user, so I'm not sure which command to use.

Surely, your friend who runs only Linux and has a BluRay drive as part of his/her setup must know how to do this?

[Jagaer]

dd works great (disk duplicate)

dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/mnt/usbdrive/MyBluRayDisc.iso

Then when you want to use the disk again

mkdir /mnt/loopback
mount -o loop /mnt/usbdrive/MyBluRayDisc.iso /mnt/loopback

I am not able to copy the dvd to my system. I have proper Anydvd installed on my system and the below screenshot shows the protection on the dvd. Can anyone advice me as to what is the error and how I can copy the dvd to my system.

Have you tried AnyDVD's 'Rip Video DVD to harddisk' option?

Stucked?? That doesn't sound to clever.
Do you get any error message?
