Blu-Ray BD+

Anyone got this figured out yet? I've read through lots of websites and tried almost everything I can find, but no encrypted Blu-Ray playback here.

Hmm, if you've hunted high and low and couldn't find a fix, my guess is nobody's written one yet. Dang encoding eh?! Grrrr, the copyright police don't want us having any fun.

Interesting result with handbrake: I was able to rip the main title, but there is constant minor video corruption. AS expected I suppose since there's no work around to the encryption at this point. It is watchable, but there are small dashes of video breakage throughout the recording.

The disc reports 47GB and the main title (Avatar) rip resulted in 13.7GB at 1920x1080 with full AAC audio.

The back story to this is my previous DVDR/W died Sunday so I went a bought a replacement drive that also plays BR. I really just wanted to test it to make sure it works. We only have one BR in the house - and that's the encrypted Avatar BR disc. At this point I'm calling it a "pass" in that the drive did read the disc, I just couldn't play it because of the encryption. Now I want to go get a non-encrypted BR and see the visuals!

The weird thing is all the searches I've done get me webpages from 2008-9. Which makes me think maybe I just don't have something installed that I need. Thus the reason for the post.

Ah, I see, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is anti-piracy right in the drive's firmware. Read this forum thread, some interesting opinions/insight.

Scroll about 2/3 down on this page to the DRM section, this mostly applies to internal PC optical drives, the bane of the movie industry.

Or you could go here and try to find a copy that will work.

I forgot to mention, when I am faced with a situation like yours, I just go crazy in the repository and install any and everything related, it can't hurt and it's not like I'm low on SSD space.

That's pretty much what I've done

Hmm, nice, thanks, I'll have to remember this thread for when I finally get my PC bluray.
