How? Especially pre-release bluray?

Hex?
Hey, that's the combination to my luggage!
They should demand thorough answers from this vigilante and put them on YouTube so all the world understands not to do this!
No, i mean, bluray DRM is partly bound to keys and the player. Even blurays from 2020 often fail with libbluray and a newish player. I see no way to rip a pre-release bluray.
DVD is a bit more tame with only CSS and no BD+ VM on the drive.
For Details, look here.
MakeMKV? I don't understand.
With libredrive flashed on your player. Let the player decrypt for you, and then copy the decrypted stream, no need to break any encryption...
I wish it wasn't so ungodly difficult to flash a drive in Linux. Proper documentation would be nice too. I do have a flashed drive however.
