This will let Handbrake read your encrypted DVDs and rip them to your computer. We’ll be using a free DVD playback library called libdvdcss. You can, however, download it separately-as long as you’re just using this to watch a movie on your computer and not starting a bootlegging business, we promise we won’t tell on you. Getting around this is a weirdly gray area legally, so applications like Handbrake can’t legally include the software needed to decrypt copy protected DVDs.
Out of the box, Handbrake can rip any DVD that isn’t copy protected…but almost all DVDs you buy in the store are copy protected. The main tool we’ll be using to rip DVDs is called Handbrake, which you can download here. Libdvdcss is optional in many open-source DVD players, but without it, only non-encrypted discs will play.Step Zero: Install Handbrake and libdvdcss So You Can Decrypt DVDs DVD player applications, such as VLC media player, use this library to decode DVDs. Libdvdcss alone is only a library and cannot play DVDs. It is also in Arch Linux official package repositories. ĭistributions which come pre-installed with libdvdcss include BackTrack, CrunchBang Linux, LinuxMCE, Linux Mint, PCLinuxOS, Puppy Linux 4.2.1, Slax, Super OS, Pardus, and XBMC Live.
For example, it used to be available in Ubuntu through Medibuntu, which is no longer available. Many Linux distributions do not contain libdvdcss (for example, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE) due to fears of running afoul of DMCA-style laws, but they often provide the tools to let the user install it themselves. The legal status of libdvdcss is controversial but there has been-unlike DeCSS-no known legal challenge to it as of June 2022. If none of them work (for instance, when the DVD drive enforces region coding), libdvdcss brute-forces the key, ignoring the DVD's region code (if any). Whereas DeCSS uses a cracked DVD player key to perform authentication, libdvdcss uses a generated list of possible player keys. Libdvdcss is not to be confused with DeCSS. libdvdcss is part of the VideoLAN project and is used by VLC media player and other DVD player software packages, such as Ogle, xine-based players, and MPlayer. Libdvdcss (or libdvdcss2 in some repositories) is a free and open-source software library for accessing and unscrambling DVDs encrypted with the Content Scramble System (CSS).
