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,

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."
