Which means that you would only be able to play it on approved hardware.

Thankfully, MakeMKV is able to get through that with certain drives for every disk I’ve tried.

  Ripping those disks is legitimately easier than playing them w/o breaking DRM on PCs

    Legitimately playing 4K blu-ray video on a PC without cracking the DRM requires an insane combination of requirements:
    
    Windows 10 (not 11)
    
    An Intel processor between gen 7-10 (nothing newer because Intel ditched SGX in 2021)
    
    Intel integrated graphics (no nvidia/amd)
    
    Monitor that supports HDCP 2.2 for DRM (some 4k ones don’t)
    
    An approved optical drive
    
    Proprietary playback software which costs about $100 USD, separate from the cost of hardware and Windows
    
    Miscellaneous other requirements for the motherboard features, bios settings, etc.
    
    Meanwhile MakeMKV can rip them on basically any Windows/Linux/Mac system with a compatible BDXL drive.

    For real, VLC is great, I’ve totally had issues playing some of them with it. If I recall there’s supposed to be a way to let vlc use MakeMKV to break them for playback, but yeah, way more work than just ripping it.

    In MakeMKV preferences, Integration tab, VLC should be listed there
