Bluray ripping

I own several 4K BD movies that want to RIP in order to play them on my 4K TV.

My idea is to RIP them into media files and play them from a 128GB USB3.0 flash drive, any recommendations on what software to use and how to do it?
 
Real ripping is not gonna happen for a while. You will need:

1. A UHD-BD capable drive (BDR-S11J)
2. Some way to defeat AACS 2.0

Any 4K 'articles' you may come across on the internets are stream captures, or in the specific case of a title with blue creatures in white hats, the protection was faulty.
 
Umm...

you know you're asking for advice on how to illegally rip bluray movies, right? Yes, it's illegal even if you own the actual Bluray.

It's a dumb law. If you own them, you should be able to rip them if you want. That being said, the sheer size of blu-rays makes ripping them a bit questionable, even if you can do it.

I have a drive capable of playing UHD Blurays on my main desktop computer. I was not aware there was no way to do it :(

I'm aware of that and I do own several of those blurays. I remember some time ago, the same was said about DVDs and standard blurays; now, alternatives to legally do it are offered (ie. DigitalCopy). My intention is not to steal anything but to watch what I paid for, I'm starting to think that the only way will be to actually buy another bluray player...

A 128GB flash drive should be enough for most movies :)
 
I would point you towards a cheap hdmi splitter for removing the HDCP, than grabbing that video+audio with a recorder card. Transcode to chromecast ultra compatible mp4 h.264 and stream with plex to chromecast ultra on your device of choice.
 
Or just use plex + chromecast ultra. There seems to be some options in plex that can handle it, don't really know, but forums seem to indicate luck with 4k bluray rips playing on any device with plex.

Please report back on how it goes if you do :) I dont currently have time to test it myself, so any experience would be appreciated.
 
I have no means to purchase those items from here, may have to import them.

I may end up buying a UHD bluray player instead of going through all that lol:lol:

I can quote many laws that are dumb; still a law though. It's considered piracy.
 
Actually, the legal issue at hand is the DMCA prohibits circumvention of encryption and or other protection measures of copyrighted content. There are actually exemptions, allowing legal decryption for cases of clip usage for documentaries, film studies, or for educational purposes. Some countries have private copying exemptions for personal use, such as "format-shifting", though circumvention of encryption protections still violates the DMCA. Piracy does not come into play until copyrighted works are distributed without authorization.

I do not know if lmchv falls into any of those categories for the legal ability to decrypt, but I am very sure at least the technical discussion of the various potential methods available is fair game to anyone, presuming we follow the forums rules about non disclosure of piracy avenues.
 
Sure, I have no intention to distribute any copyrighted material; as the original post stated, I wanted to watch the 4K Blurays I have in my new 4K TV.

I've been looking for a good UHD Bluray player and there are none available here!, just resellers. The only one I can purchase from a retailer is the XBOX One..., my wife will not allow that after the PS4 Pro and Switch:lol: :bleh:

I may wait until some are available, in the meanwhile I will enjoy upscaled 4K from my other movies.

actually, no. you can legally make a copy, if you can do it without circumventing the copy protection per the fair use laws providing you are the owner. the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent the copy protection, which is what makes it illegal.

edit: didn't see DigitalDemon's response.
 
I am not a pirate. I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on my media collection, as well as the requisite hardware to back up my physical copies.

Consumers have the right to backup their media for personal use. That is established law. You're even allowed to record broadcast television that you don't "own" as long as it's for non-commercial use: https://www.theatlantic.com/technol...most-made-it-illegal-to-tape-tv-shows/251107/

The DMCA side-stepped the issue by making the act of circumventing copy-protection illegal. You still have the right to backup your media. How do you reconcile the two? Answer: you can't. When a new law effectively removes the ability to exercise a particular right, it places an undue burden and is therefore unconstitutional.

I'm in the same boat. I've got hundreds of DVD and Bluray movies in my library, and I like the ability to be able to let my son and his friends play a *copy* of the title(s) as they get dropped, sat on, left in the machine, fondled with Dorito-cheese-coated fingers, etc. In his defense, my son is not terrible at taking care of things, but in a room full of teenagers...things happen.

I'm not in the 4k club yet, but sooner or later as prices come down and my aging Pioneer BDP-121 comes closer and closer to death it's going to happen. Hopefully by that time there will be some kind of software out there that will be able to Make an MKV file from a UHD Bluray :)
