The AACS specification and decryption process are publicly available at. Although the industry was able to revoke the first leaked decryption keys, new keys are regularly published in a cat and mouse play. Many decryption programs were made available, but the interest to Linux users was the capability of playing their discs - legally purchased - on their computers. In 2007, the AACS system was compromised and decryption keys were published on the Internet.

Although most of commercial discs use AACS, a few of them additionally use BD+. Secondly, Blu-ray may also use another layer of protection: BD+. Firstly, the AACS standard uses a lot more complicated cryptographic process to protect the disc content, but also allows the industry to revoke compromised keys and distribute new keys through new discs. How it works Blu-ray DRMĬontrary to the DVD CSS, which was definitely compromised once the unique encryption key had been discovered, Blu-ray uses stronger DRM mechanisms, which makes it a lot more difficult to manage. This is legal in most countries where interoperability allows this. with the same disc drives.Note: Since no commercial Blu-ray player software is available on their system, Linux users have to use open-source libraries capable of handling the DRM schemes that protect these disc contents. without ever seeing that error before, since I installed MakeMKV in 2018. ? (And I haven't explicitly heard anyone say that this conflict started with AnyDVD v8.6.0.0, but I ripped everything-DVDs, Blurays and UHD discs in great numbers before installing AnyDVD v8.6.0.0. but can you explain why I don't get this error message on 2 out of the 3 Blurays I've tried to rip since I installed AnyDVD 8.6.0.0. If so, does this interaction occur regardless of whether Blurays or 4K UHD discs are being decrypted?

and do the decryption too? Is that, or something related to MakeMKV's ability to use Official UHD drives what this is interplay between the two is all about? Yes, that's what it sounds like you're saying. what? So MakeMKV can support the use of Official 4K drives?. are you saying that if the 'new' version (wherever that starts) of AnyDVD detects that (any version of MakeMKV is installed, AnyDVD does try it's own bus decryption, but instead expects that bus encryption is disabled by of MakeMKV.
