Some users want to play Blu-ray movies via VLC media player, but, as you see, the experience isn’t smooth. Wonder how to get your VLC to play encrypted blu-ray discs? According to my own experience, There are two solutions to easily make Blu-ray movies playable in VLC player. The following is the details.
Solution One:
You’ll need two files: keys database and AACS dynamic library.
Keys database: get the file
Windows: put it in %APPDATA%/aacs/ . How to find where %appdata% dir is?
Mac OS: put it in ~/.config/aacs/
Linux: put it in ~/.config/aacs/
AACS dynamic library
Windows 32bit: put that file in your VLC directory
Mac OS: right-click on VLC, choose “Show package contents” and put that file in Contents/MacOS/lib directory
Linux 32bit: put that file in VLC folder (or in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, usually /usr/lib/)
Linux 64bit: put that file in VLC folder (or in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, usually /usr/lib64/)
NOTE!
This is not any official VLC release.
VLC does not yet support blu-ray menus so you must manually select title to play.
Not all Blu-ray movies are supported.
Solution two:
Since you cannot play blu-ray movie using VLC. But there is a way to make it work, you need rip Blu-ray disc to VLC friendly format such as .mkv. Read the guide about how to rip Blu-ray to MKV with multiple subtitles, you will get it.
