 Similar to DVDs, which use CSS, Blu-rays use AACS for their DRM. There are two ways you can bypass it. Using [[libaacs]] and a ''​[[KEYDB|KEYDB.cfg]]''​ file, or using [[MakeMKV]] which bypasses it completely. Similar to DVDs, which use CSS, Blu-rays use AACS for their DRM.

 +==== Getting Key Files For libaacs ​====
  
 There are two ways to get a key for a Blu-ray: you can download one or crack it yourself. Best place to download one is from [[http://​fvonline-db.bplaced.net/​]]. I **occasionally** will back theirs up, and keep it here: [[https://​bluray.beandog.org/​keydb/​]] There are two ways to get a key for a Blu-ray: you can download one or crack it yourself.

 +On Windows, you can use [[FindVUK]] to access the disc and extract the key using a program called DVDFab.
 +
 +Once you have a ''​KEYDB.cfg''​ file with the required entries, [[libaacs]] will look for it in the ''​.config/​aacs/''​ directory from your home directory.
 +
 +Here's what a sample entry would look like:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +0x123456F8974109DEB7281DCFG80BCDB182903BCD = MOVIE TITLE (Movie Title) | D | 2021-07-13 | U | 1-0x3456F8974109DEB7281DCFG80BCDB182 ; MKBv72/​FindVUK 1.57</​code>​
 +
 +[[VLC]] will look for this file to access the Blu-ray and play it back. If you have Java installed, you can also view the menus.
 +
 +==== Using MakeMKV ====
 +
 +If you don't want to deal with finding keys, you can use [[MakeMKV]] instead, and ignore them completely. MakeMKV has its own way of bypassing DRM. The program runs on Linux and Windows. See the [[MakeMKV|wiki page here]] for details on using it. It is partially open source software, so if you want to use completely free software, you'll have to use libaacs above.
