Libaacs is available on the website of Videolan, must be compiled and is to be used to decode Blu-ray protected with AACS. For the test, I manually compiled VLC 2.2 for my machine with libbluray 0.5 and BD-J, but it’s still pretty much complicated, so I suggest you wait for a final version. The next version of VLC, 2.2, should integrate libbluray 0.5 with the BD-J support. Currently, VLC includes libbluray 0.4 without BD-J support (a Java implementation used for menus and bonuses).
Libbluray is directly integrated in VLC, and manages the reading of the Blu-ray, without protections. To read a Blu-ray on a Mac, you will need a Blu-ray reader, it is about $70 for a external one.įor the reading itself, one needs three libraries : libbluray (currently version 0.5), libaacs (currently version 0.7) and libbdplus (currently in version 0.1). I take this opportunity to make a small report.Ī little technique, first.
Today, in March 2014, a significant part of my Blu-ray works, some with the menus, and the work done is really important. In February 2012, I could read a test Blu-ray, unprotected, with a beta version of VLC 2.0. I have been testing the reading of Blu-ray on Mac via VLC since 2 years now.
