Re: Issue with pc dvd usb player reading specific dvds


Also mpv, plays movie fine with makemkv backend.


Neither vlc nor mpv uses makemkv for DVD decryption, as libdvdread is not coded to use / try libmmbd (instead of libdvdcss) like libbluray does (instead of libaacs). (libmmbd is not a drop-in replacement for libdvdcss anyway.)

Either way, I guess in this case you should try to open the "good" encrypted backup with MakeMKV (or play it with VLC using libmmbd). Maybe now it would work fine?

There's also the program bluraybackup that would allow you to produce decrypted M2TS using libaacs and libbdplus. It can work from an encrypted ...

Re: copying stops - Ginger Snaps UHD


Well with an encrypted backup you can only play it with a player that leverages libmmbd or libaacs. If your goal is to create an MKV remux of it, obviously you need a decrypted backup so that you can try to remux with other tool (such as mkvtoolnix) and see if things can get through.

So now you ...
