I thought blu-ray decoding was not possible. I remember long ago the DVD keys were extracted but it became impossible for blu-ray, except with a modified blu-ray disk drive with an older firmware that enabled this.
- doublepg23 5y agoI bought a “cheap” ($100 at the time) USB3 bluray player and it ripped discs fine - even on Linux. I believe MakeMKV has you install the necessary libraries for decrypting.
- eatbitseveryday 5y agoI think I read (on an Amazon review for a specific LG blu-ray product) that updates to the firmware of new devices happened in 2016 and no longer allowed reading 4K commercial films from that medium. I'd have to try and see how to do it today.
- m-p-3 5y agoIRRC they usually roll new master keys periodically, which normally requires a firmware update to get an updated set model-specific decryption keys, which I believe they can blacklist if the drive is compromised. Feel free to correct me on this, I'm a bit rusty on the matter. I haven't bought new movies lately, but I've been able to rip all the blu-rays I currently own with my old Blu-Ray drive.
