How to make a copy of a blu ray disc. Rip HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs with Protected Content

Are you the proud owner of an original high definition movie, but can't watch it without HDCP hardware support? We will help you solve this problem.

Copy original HD DVD and Blu-ray discs easily and easily.

It's amazing how quickly it was possible to bypass the high definition content protection technology AACS that
are used by film companies to protect HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. This is especially impressive when taken
into account the amount of cash
funds spent by film studios and other interested companies on the development of film protection technology. It is quite difficult to fix this error, since you will have to issue
updates for embedded
software already
released players so that they
were able to reproduce new
films.
Let's go directly to the topic of our article. First, we need the appropriate hardware components: a Blu-ray or HD DVD drive. Thanks to Microsoft,
option with HD DVD significantly
cheaper. The company's external HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360 game console simply connects to your computer via uSB interface, as well as a game console. It is this drive that we and
took as a basis while working on this article. But all of the above will work for any other compatible device.
The next step is to acquire
necessary programmatic
provision that will help
bypass copy protection by removing it from the video files and copying them to the hard drive. We used AnyDVD HD 6.1.3.3 utility, demo
version of which you can download from the site. After installing AnyDVD HD, restart your computer, otherwise
the program just doesn't recognize optical drivesinstalled on the system.

There are several reasons why it may be necessary to remove protection from films, but the most significant one is the possibility
watch movies in high definition video format on equipment that does not support HDCP technology. You can debate for a long time about
the legality of such actions, but content protection technologies
were designed primarily to discourage the copying and distribution of films, and we are not going to do that. To play protected videos
it is necessary that some
your computer's components have been HDCP-compliant. These components include the monitor and
video card. AnyDVD HD also strips the region code from Blu-ray discs. Among other features of the program
it can be noted that it allows you to remove the annoying FBI warnings and trailers that are usually placed in front of the film and discard them in the usual ways.

It is not the most economical in terms of free spacebut not at all quick way copying movies. As a reminder, we used an Xbox 360 HD DVD USB drive. We hope that with the advent of new models of drives it will be possible to
copy films significantly
faster.

AnyDVD HD naturally has a richer set of options for configuring a variety of options, but unless you are trying to rip a Blu-ray disc with a region code, most of them can be left with the default values.
After you finish copying the movie to hDD, our work is not over yet. To play HD content you will need an HD DVD or Blu-ray software player. There isn't much to choose from yet.
We used which supports HD DVD and
Blu-ray. If you are sure that you need it, you can
convert uncompressed HD content to another format, for example, to x264, using the H.264 and MPEG-4 AVC codecs. The resulting file is much smaller, and you don't have to think about a special program for playing it. Optionally, you can purchase an HD DVD or Blu-ray recorder to make unprotected copies of your movies. Only the cost of recordable discs

high, not to mention the cost of the recorders themselves.

AnyDVD HD is not the only program that allows you to rewrite protected movies in high definition formats. Can

If you love to overcome
obstacles, you can try to work with the utility BackupHDDVD, but
it has limited unprotection capabilities and is not as easy to use as AnyDVD HD.
The biggest advantage of AnyDVD HD is the ability to remove the AACS security encoding on the fly. It allows users who have
HD DVD or Blu-ray drives and software for playing movies in these formats, watching them on computers with old video cards or monitors that do not support HDCP technology.

Information about the program:
Year of issue: 2018

We are waiting for the content to be overwritten into the image, after which we close the program. The image is ready to mount. Next, we mount the image into a virtual drive (it should be noted here that early versions of VCDs could not emulate BR drives).

Please note that the virtual drive is identified as "BD-ROM Drive (F :)", the "HD DVD-ROM Drive (J :)" drive is the LG BE06 external BR writer.
In the next screenshot, the image with the movie is already mounted to the virtual machine:


After the disc is mounted in the drive, PowerDVD Ultra starts automatically for me (here you should make a note: the drive included a set of Cyberlink Hi-Def Suite software from which PowerDVD was installed. After installation, it was updated via the Internet to version 7.3.4603.0 , which made it possible to play discs from a virtual drive, and added the Russian interface language. In RIDMI.THT it was still promised to play HD from a folder on a hard disk, but for some reason he did not want to do it). Unfortunately the standard "Scissors" screw chip does not want to capture video, but it laughed at such a joke, the video that was in PowerDVD was playing in the picture below (until the player was closed).


That's all. Finally, a few comments on the work done: The only program that agreed to make a normal image from a BR-disk is ImgBurn. Then I found another Alcohol 120% 5.0 with Blu-Ray support, but there was no time or desire to test it.
Further, I found out along the way that the cards Nvidia GeForce 9400GT and 9500GT endure HD content decoding disgustingly. The processor load was kept at 40-50% with jumps sometimes reaching 75-100%. At the same time on the cards AMD Radeon HD3650 and HD4850 \u200b\u200bCPU utilization never reached the 10% mark. The computer configurations are as follows:
1.Cel-430 1800MHz / 1GB DDR2 / GF9400GT 512MB / i945GC / 80GB SATA, (he will have to work hard as an HD player)
2.C2D E2200 2200MHz / 2x1GB DDR2 / GF9500GT 512MB / i945G / 320GB SATA, (my work one)
3.C2D E5200 2500MHz / 2x1GB DDR2 / HD3650 256MB / iP35 / 160GB SATA, (wife's home)
4.C2D E8200 [email protected]/ 4x1GB DDR2 / HD4850 \u200b\u200b512MB / iX48 / 1.5TB SATA, (my home)
The HD3650 card was brought in on configuration 1 and 2 (to my place of work), the processor load dropped to the same 5-7%, and according to Rivatuner's readings, the GPU load of the video card was 19-25% with an increase in frequencies to the normal operating frequencies of this card ... Therefore, AMD PowerPlay and their UVD (Unified Video Decoder) unit work much more efficiently than their counterparts from Nvidia (PureVideo HD). By the way download gPU on nvidia cards Rivatuner could not display, but judging by the CPU load, it was most likely almost zero.
I also found out that AnyDVD HD perfectly removes HDCP protection. Since the monitor at home is connected via DVI-D, and the monik does not support HDCP, of course the movie was not played even from the original disc (with PowerDVD's wild cry that the monitor does not support HDCP, otherwise I did not know it without it: -D). The problem was solved by switching the monitor to D-Sub (for testing). After turning on AnyDVD HD, the player successfully forgot about the need for protection and successfully played a movie with a DVI-D connection.
The complete PowerDVD Ultra 7.3.3323 did not want to play the movie from the image, insistently demanding an update, for which the update to version 7.3.4603 was downloaded, after which the player stopped asking stupid questions :-).
Another oddity was found under Windows XP SP3. The mounted disk in the explorer was seen as a RAW format (instead of the intended UDF) with a zero size, but PowerDVD still played the movie when choosing a virtual drive. Probably a jamb of Windows Explorer, especially since on Windows Vista SP1 (on which the research was carried out) the disk in the virtual machine was seen regularly. During this work, tens of liters of beer were drunk, blocks of cigarettes were smoked, kilometers of nerves were destroyed and hundreds of meters of traffic were spent. Hopefully not in vain. I will be glad if this material helps someone.

P.S. Thanks to Ochakovo for the beer supplied to the kiosk, Philip Morris Products S.A for the sold cigarettes, and the only and favorite provider for the traffic spent. :-)
