Make MKV

[biferi]

I use to use DVDShrink to just Decrypt My DVD Movie Files to My Hard Drive.

Then I use VLC Media Player to Watch them and it works good.

Now with Blue Ray Discs this does not work.

Now I know of a Free Program Called Make MKV but will this Re Compress the Blue Ray Video File and just want it to Decrypt it?

And Yes these are all My DVDs and Blue Ray Discs.

MakeMKV doesn't compress or alter the quality in any way. It merely wraps the main movie and extra's, if desired in a MKV container. It will do DVD's as well as Blu ray and UHD discs. So basically file size in = file size out and the same for quality. In the case of Blu ray and UHD you can also make a whole disc backup in ISO format.

PS. DVDShrink hasn't been updated since 2004 so there are many newer protection schemes it won't work with.

VLC is supposed be able to play Blu-ray with libbluray installed. See https://www.videolan.org/developers/libbluray.html libaacs and libbdplus are needed to decrypt encrypted discs.
You could also try Leawo Blu-ray Player, which is free.

MakeMKV cannot compress anything or convert the original video, audio, and subtitles to different formats. MakeMKV just decrypts and copies all the files and folders on the Blu-ray disc to your hard drive, or muxes the original video, audio, and subtitles into MKV files that it stores on your hard drive. (You must choose to either copy the Blu-ray disc as files and folders or output as MKVs.)

Than You for all the help.

I do not Think I can but I will Ask?

I know I need a Blue Ray Drive to Play Blue Ray Discs.
But just to use MakeMKV to Decrypt My Blue Ray Disc to My Hard Drive can I use My CD ROM Drive?

CD drive is not a Blu-ray drive so it will not read.

And if I Understand You?

If I Copy My Blue Ray Disc to a VOB File it will not Re Compress it?

If you try to copy your Blu-ray disc to VOB then it probably will be compressed.

VOB is a container associated with DVD and it is only used for standard-definition MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video. The container file format used for Blu-ray disc copies is M2TS.

Blu-ray video is usually high-definition video and either VC1 or AVC/H.264. Standard definition Blu-ray isn't common. Although MPEG-2 video is allowed for Blu-ray it isn't common either. This means you probably can't copy your Blu-ray to a VOB file without re-sizing and converting the video.

So if I use the Program MakeMKV I See on YouTube You have to Pick a Format for it to Copy to.

So if I do not want it to Re Compress My Blue Ray File what Format do I Pick?

When I Watch YouTube Videos I do not See M2TS in the List of Formsts?

Using the "Save Selected Titles" option, MakeMKV copies the exact same video and audio for those titles that are on the Blu-ray disc to MKVs on your harddrive with no compression whatsoever. MKV files will play just fine with VLC without installing libbluray.

When I Watch YouTube Videos I do not See M2TS in the List of Formsts?

Using the "Backup" option, MakeMKV copies the entire contents of the disc to your hard drive with no compression whatsoever. Individual titles are in M2TS files in the "STREAM" subfolder of the " BDMV" or "BDAV" directory, just like they are on the Blu-ray disc.

EVERYTHING on YouTube and uploaded to YT is recompressed to their specifications, so of course you would not see M2TS, as that isn't one that they offer.

I was about to write what you did but then it dawned on me that biferi was probably asking about the output options that were shown in a YouTube tutorial about MakeMKV.
