Can your drive transfer the decrypted Blu-ray to a computer? That appears to be a standalone Blu-ray player.

yes my drive can first to my hard drive then i want to make a quick mkv hd for my usb drive that is connected to my dvd player. i tried fab but it doesnt work for mkv.

red, I believe that he was planning on playing it on his DLNA complaint device, via HDD. Hannibal, might I inquire as to what issue you were having with MakeMKV? I have used the method I suggested and never had an issue. The method I mentioned was to get the MKV file and then Handbreak to shrink the file. It may be possible to use DVDFabDecrypter to ISO and then import it into handbreak, but cannot admit to having tried it.

make mkv copys the whole movie and wastes time where as i only want the main movie not trailers or extras.

[lowellriggsiam]

hannibl you can chose just the main movie.

its not free and already have any dvd and anydvd. But i will give hanbrake a shot, aslong it keeps original audio and same quality i would be happy.
