Yeah, you did it perfectly. Sounds like your BD has a newer security this current library can't decode. What movie is this? Have you tried some other ones?yeah this just doesn't work. ive tried everything
Running Win 7 64bit
i placed the keys C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\aacs
placed the AACS dynamic library here C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC
launch vlc open disk-->Blu Ray--->no menus--->Play and
Blu-Ray error:
This Blu-Ray Disc needs a library for BD+ decoding, and your system does not have it.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:/'. Check the log for details.
Followed all of the steps, Win7-64 w/32-bit dll. The "No disc menus" finally did it. Playback is choppy and I noticed another VLC window was launched in the background with what appears to be extra features. It doesn't seem to interfere with playback except maybe stealing cycles and causing contention on the disc reading. Audio is from the main title. If I close the secondary window it also closes the primary. The disc is 'Role Models'.I'm about to make everyone's day...
There's a subtle note about this "experimental" AACS decoder library. It currently does not support titles. This simply means that, after you installed the two files to the proper locations mentioned at http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name, when you pick your drive to play of course pick the Bluray option but also BE SURE to check the "No disc menus" option. The Blu-ray will now play properly but it will default to Title 0 or the another main Title. Within VLC simply right-click --> Playback --> Title and pick the largest length Title since that is most likely the main movie. The other Titles will be the disc extras, previews, etc.
Yes, I have noticed that too: approx. once a minute there was a small glitch on the Disney's "Bolt" movie. May be I should have play with settings, i.e. hardware decoding or something like that? VLC was installed on the clean machine and no settings were changed. The protection has been removed by AnyDVD HD.Playback is choppy
This has worked for me, thank you!I finally got it to work!
Like a lot of people here, I followed all the instructions to the letter, but nothing was working. I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I realized after that one person's post that I had installed the 32-bit version of VLC, since it was in the Program Files (x86) directory, so I downloaded the 32-bit dll to try again, but with no luck.
So then I went to the VLC site and downloaded the experiment 64-bit version of VLC (you have to do a little searching), and it installed to the Program Files directory. I downloaded the 64-bit dll and put it in the Program Files/VideoLan/VLC folder, launched vlc from that folder, opened the blu-ray with the "blu ray" option, checked the "No Titles" box, and it worked!
I hope this helps someone else. Bottom line: Try the 64-bit version of VLC with the correct dll.
Thank you for the post (and to all others as well).I finally got it to work!

Wow, you're a genius. That worked for me too. Thanks so much. I've been trying to fix this problem for hours.I finally got it to work!

As far as I understand, BD+ is another Blu-ray protection scheme and VLC cannot play such discs. For now VLC can play AACS protected discs only. So for BD+ discs you have to use either WinDVD/PowerDVD/etc players or AnyDVD HD protection remover. Please correct me if I am wrong.This Blu-Ray Disc needs a library for BD+ decoding, and your system does not have it.
Ah, ok (well, not so ok, but ok..). I thought the errors in the attempt to play the the referenced title "Chronicle" were the same as those previous to installing the two specified files, along with the 64-bit experimental version, hence the surprise, and uncertainty as what was up. Thanks for the explanation. *The problem Title might well be weak, or worse, anyway....

If you want to install the 64-bit version download vlc-2.0.1-win64.exe. If you just want to run it from a directory/folder download vlc-2.0.1-win64.zip (or the *.7z version). You'll need to extract the contents of the *.zip to a folder first, then run vlc.exe.I was trying to download it onto a machine that currently has no VLC versions on it. If I go to 64bit experimental it opens a list of public files, when clicked on some of them are text files, others request to download - there's a zip file and an .exe file for example, I tried downloading the zip but once extracted I can just open VLC direct from the extracted folder, there is no install or setup phase. There is no VideoLAN folder in my program files (x86) folder either so I cannot put the .dll in there.
If you just want to test out a Win64 version download the *.zip version and extract to a folder. Download the 64-bit version of libaacs.dll found here and place it in the folder where you extract the *.zip (where vlc.exe is). Place the KEYDB.cfg file in %APPDATA%\aacs, run vlc.exe and try a Blu-ray disc.Just went through the problems already outlined by all you other folks with my husband's laptop, got so far as realizing he needs the 64bit version for it to work, he downloaded the .exe from that public file and in his case it didn't fix the blu-ray error, hence trying on my laptop with the zip folder to see if a clean install worked..
