Blu-ray DRM
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.cfg file, or using MakeMKV which bypasses it completely.
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/
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 a sample entry:
0x005911F7954508BD9E53936E717DCF62A0BCD9CB = MOVIE TITLE (Movie Title) | D | 2021-07-13 | U | 1-0x265FD60E1E7F4C48CE9DDEE101FE27E8 ; MKBv72/FindVUK 1.57
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.
