Rookie DESPERATE for help on PC playback

[Mordred478]

Let me begin at the beginning. There are people--I am not one of them--who rip the contents of BDs and post them online for others to download and playback on their PCs. Now, naturally, I would NEVER do such a thing myself, but hypothetically, let's say I wanted to. Let's say I didn't want to bother with the physical medium of the DVD, but merely wanted to grab the liberated BD content from the appropriate usenet group, unpack it on my PC, and then play it back as if I were playing back an actual BD that I had in an actual BD player. In this hypothetical scenario, which I hope and believe some of you may have theoretical knowledge of, HOW THE F**K DO I PLAY BACK THE BD FILE ON MY PC?! I'm offering Monopoly money and a Vermont teddy bear to the first person who can get me up and running and watching BD files on my PC!
Uh...hypothetically speaking, of course.

This can't be done at the moment. There was a way with an old version of pc based Blu-ray software. This enabled one of the decryption keys to be extracted. This wasn't a full crack as there was still some components of the copy protection remaining. Once the hole was plugged all that had to be done is to change a key with new movies to force the patch of the software or no play of the disc. This is about to get even more problematic when the optional BD+ is implemented by most disc's.
There is only a need to post this once in one sub forum.

As this is hypothetical as you don't want to do it, which is lucky for you or else it would be go straight to jail - do not pass GO, do not collect $200 to keep the monopoly theme.

As you don't want to do it, there is no need to provide the exact details.

Blu-ray.com (this forum) does not promote, enable or condone such activities.
