Play Blu-ray on Macbook via VLC Player
"I want to watch my blu-ray movies on Macbook for killing my time on a long travel, but the VLC player on my Macbook can not play the blu-ray. So I searched online for the reason and I knew that I had to rip blu-ray to VLC player supported formats. While,
I am not a computerman and I can not understand how to do it. Can anyone tell me how to rip the blu-ray videos to help me play Blu-ray with VLC player on Macbook?" I saw this question from [url=
https://answers.yahoo.com/]Yahoo Answers[/url] and I
believe there are still someone have the same problem like him. So here I would like to analyze the reasons and solve the problem.
VLC, powerful multi-functional media player software, can run on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc. which is widely used now. It supports various audio and video formats like MP4, MKV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX and DVD/VCD etc. It can also support Blu-ray,
but there are only some old Blu-ray discs can be ripped. So, this article will provide you three ways to help you play all the Blu-ray discs with VLC player on Macbook.
[b]1. Upgrade VLC Media Player to 2.0 or later version.[/b]
It is the easiest way for you. As far as we know, only the VLC Media Player 2.0 or later version can rip Blu-ray discs for they come with multiple fixes for Blu-ray discs playback.
[b]2. Use keys database and AACS dynamic library to play Blu-ray on VLC.[/b]
If you have upgraded VLC Media Player to 2.0 or later version and still can not play Blu-ray discs with VLC player on Macbook. Then you can try this way.
Download the KEYS DATABASE(KEYDB.cfg) and AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY(libaacs.dll for Windows or libaacs.dylib for Mac).
[b]For Windows Users:[/b]
1.KEYS DATABASSE
*open your user area ("C:\Users\your username\AppData")

* Open "AppData" directory or create a folder and name it aacs
* Place the downloaded KEYDB.cfg file in this folder directly.
2. AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY
* Go to "c:\Program Files" [Or "c:\Program Files (x86)" if running 64bit]
* Navigate to "VLC" directory, and move the libaacs.dll file into it.
Now, you can easily play Blu-Ray disc with VLC on Windows for free. Note: The latest VLC still doesn't have menu support yet.
[b]For Mac users:[/b]
You may navigate the corresponding folder and move into the necessary files as follow. Go to:
http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/, get the necessary files.
1. KEYS Database
Mac OS: put it in ~/Library/Preferences/aacs/ (create it if it does not exist)
2.AACS Dynamic Library
Mac OS: right-click on VLC, choose "Show package contents" and put that file in Contents/MacOS/lib/
Tip: VLC does not yet support Blu-ray menus so you must manually select title to play. And not all
Blu-ray movies are supported.
[b]3. Convert blu-ray to VLC player supported formats.[/b]
Some people responded that they have followed all the instructions, but they still can't play Blu-ray disc with VLC player on Macbook. If so, maybe you should consider to use a blu-ray ripper to convert blu-ray to VLC player supported format like MP4.
Here I suggested you to use [b][url=
