This Blu-Ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and you

Postby thxbest » 25 Mar 2013 02:58

Hello,

I did below instruction to make VLC able to play Blu ray disks.
OS is windows 7 Ultimate-64Bit- VLC media player for windows 64Bit is installed.
Go to http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/
Download keydb.cfg
Use the search function in the start menu and key in "%appdata%" (without quotation marks)
This will bring you to a folder called "Roaming" (C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming)
Create a new folder within Roaming called "aacs" and put the keydb.cfg file into it
Download the Windows 64bit version of "libaacs.dll" and put it into your VLC directory (typically c:\program files\Video LAN\VLC\)

VLC will now play blu ray discs.
I get this message when I try to play Blu ray disk:
"Blu-Ray error:
This Blu-Ray Disc needs a library for AACS 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."


Why is that and how it can be solved?

Thanks,

the dll is not correctly placed.
dll is now in right place, but still this message appears:

"Blu-Ray error:
Your system AACS decoding library does not work. Missing keys?
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:/'. Check the log for details."
