Play M2TS / play ripped movie VLC 32 bit

(Please pin this one on top in forum, thank you)

In case people do not know, playing the movies ripped is actually very easy in VLC.

- Download only the VLC 32 bit, 64 bit won't work (I have not tried extensively to configure that)
- After installing VLC 32 bit, re-start or open MakeMKV
- In MakeMKV go to menu view >> Preferences >> Integration >> tick both VLC options

64 bit VLC does not show up in the integration tab for some reason.
After ticking these, it will work, just open the movie files, iso, etc and enjoy.

None of this is needed to play ripped movies, you're going to confuse people.

Like any file on a computer, you simply need the correct decoder(s).

Where are the decoders? I tried one time without the MakeMKV option "Decrypt video files" and VLC could not play them.
But if I rip with the option "Decrypt video files" enabled, then VLC can play them

Above I enabled in MAKEMKV, the integration with VLC 32 bit.

What step(s) are needed to let MakeMKV decode on the fly?

Yes you should enable the "Decrypt video files" if viewing directly off the disc. See, 1 reply and this is already confusing...
