Correct.

Workaround number two (the correct way to do this but it will be expensive and you may not want that) :

Purchase Cyberlink PowerDVD and open your ISO file directly
It's free if you skip the “purchase PowerDVD” step and go straight to “open your ISO file in PowerDVD,” which I can do through the ...

I'm trying to open the Cinematographe Blu-ray of Female Perversions , but it's giving me a message in the info/log window saying “This disc uses newer version of AACS protection. Please let us know about it by visiting” and then there's a link. Usually when I've seen this, it's followed by an AACS ...

Yeah, I've never had any issue with any other disc, and other discs have continued to work fine once I got the environment variable thing sorted out.

I updated Kodi, which now has a completely different interface, and it's just an infinite spinning wheel rather than a Please Wait... message.

If I reinsert the D.E.B.S. disc and play that in Kodi, I get the list of titles etc., but when I select Show Blu-ray Menu it just gets stuck on Please Wait... forever.

With Kodi, playing the physical disc works just fine, including the Blu-ray menus ? But it doesn't work with the backup ? If so, that's really odd. No, a different physical disc just happened to be in the drive, and kept playing when I tried to play the virtual disc.

EDIT : Is updating Kodi a ...

It doesn't work in Kodi either, although I'm using an older version. If I right-click on it and select Play, nothing happens.

If I have a disc in my physical drive, right-clicking on the virtual drive and selecting Play plays the physical disc.

Yep, that fixed the Java issue; it was still set to the folder of the previous Java version.

Now the ISO mounted with Virtual Clone Drive is exhibiting the same behavior as the disc, just displaying the image indefinitely.

The Windows one can be done simply by going into System Information. Windows will tell you whether you have a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS. Also, if you know you have Windows 11, you have a 64-bit OS and there's no need to check.

The easiest way to check the VLC one is by checking the installer file, if ...

Interestingly, when I open a disc with MakeMKV it says it's using Java from C:/Program Files/Eclipse Adoptium/jdk-17.0.4.101-hotspot/bin/java.exe, but when I run the Java installer it installs to C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_491

I don't know how to check/confirm those things. I ended up installing both 32- and 64-bit versions of Java, which I vaguely recall having done in the past for something (and indeed when I updated the installer said I had two older versions currently installed). So it really ought to be fine ...

I updated Java and now when I open the disc I get an error saying Java isn't detected on my system so the disc will play without menus...

I tried opening the recent Sony Blu-ray of D.E.B.S. and it just displays the small jpg image that usually shows up while a disc is loading. It's been an hour now...

There are no errors or anything, as usually happens if I have the wrong region or accidentally open it as a DVD instead of a Blu-ray ...
