Chicago (IL) – A user of the Doom9 forum recently released an update for a Blu-ray disc copying software, which now extends to BD Live titles support for additional related download.  

The software called Blu-ray Disc Ripper 1.4 is believed to be one of the most widely used applications of its type and, at least according to our knowledge, the first to support the BD-Live extension.

The basic functionality of the 37.2 KB program enables users to copy a Blu-ray to a hard drive from the original disc, from a mounted virtual image or from another location on a hard drive. Besides the disc users will need a key that is unique to each movie. Users contributing to the Doom9 forum regularly publish those keys.

What makes the 1.4 release unique is the fact that copies the “AACS” folder, which the author claims “might” be needed “for BD-Live enabled titles to decrypt related downloaded content.” In effect, the ripper not only copies a disc, but also its extended functionality, which is considered by movie studios as one of the most important features of future Blu-ray titles.

In related news, other users of the Doom9 forum also cracked the Blu-ray protection system BD+, a system that was predicted to hold up for at least a decade. 

I don't care about extras

I just would like to be able to copy the main movie in full resolution. So can use them in a juke box type of player or hard drive system and put away the originals for safe keeping. And yes I actually do this with some of my CDs that are out of print so there is a practical legal use for this type of utility.

ALL Bluray protection will be broken like nothing. instead of improving the technology more, they spend lots on "fake-security". serves them right.

It seems like security these days only buys developers some more time before hackers crack their products.

AnyDVD with the HD add-on works just fine for this exact purpose. It is a bit pricey, but does the job marvellously well.
