All I want to do is backup my legally purchased copy of West Side Story to a 25GB blu-ray blank. I'll be doing more testing and experimenting, and hopefully discover more concrete information.

My (unconfirmed) conclusion is that DVDFab, and Anydvd have mastered this BD+ problem, and that MakeMKV has as well when converting to an MKV file, though rebuilding with BD Rebuilder for playback on my "Sony Google TV NSZ-GT1" will probably not work. The Wikipedia article it references is also helpful, though my beanie's propeller doesn't spin fast enough for me to understand everything. When was the last time you updated the Sony's firmware?" Since BD+ programming gets changed at irregular intervals, "hardware" players have to have their firmware updated periodically. When going to a MKV file, MakeMKV will also interpret the BD+ programming, and apply its fixes to the resulting file. MakeMKV only decodes BD+ when it is converting the file to an MKV it is expected that a player that understands M2TS files would have its own BD+ interpreter, so the M2TS files are just decrypted, and not "fixed up". "My guess would be that the disk uses BD+ as part of its "copy protection". Woodstock, over at the MakeMKV forum, wrote the following, which sorts things out a bit: Scott All previously made backups still play, but this backup of West Side Story will NOT play at all. Have you tried any true home-release/personally-authored BD discs (obviously intended to be unencrypted)?ĭOES the player still play the disc after showing the message? You say this still shows up for "decrypted" & "re-authored" discs.does it show up with OLDER existing original BD releases? If the latter is still OK, that should not occur to "unencrypted" discs. This is SOP for Blu-ray AACS copy protection (key revocation & updating), though likely part of the less understood BD+ work (20thCFox is known to use this). Otherwise, many/most newer released discs won't play. Some disc has "flagged" the player as suspect, so now it must phone home to regenerate proper keys.
#Cyberlink powerdvd 18 won't play blu ray update
As the Blu-Ray spec continues to evolve, new features are added as well as new copy protection, but an update could have unwanted side effects or brick the player if something goes wrong. Thanks! Don't try to fix something that isn't broken, so just ignore the warnings as long as your discs are playable. I'm not finding a good explanation anywhere and thought perhaps some of the good folks here on VideHelp might know. Or maybe something worse, like when it says to update your blu-ray player it'll add copy protection that won't play my backups. Thanks!ĭoes anyone know? I worry that these blu-rays that won't play and that give the red warning message are somehow checking to confirm that a blu-ray player has perhaps a certain level of copy protection.

So that got me to wondering what's going on.ĭoes anyone know? I worry that these blu-rays that won't play and that give the red warning message are somehow checking to confirm that a blu-ray player has perhaps a certain level of copy protection. That message appears even if a blu-ray is decrypted using MakeMKV, and then rebuilt using BD Rebuilder in "Full Backup" mode. Each manufacturer controls and is responsible for its own website."

"Warning: Your blu-ray player requires an update in order to play this disc. Is it likely to be a problem with the external bluray drive im using? I used to have cyberlinkpowerdvd on my old computer a couple of years ago and played blurays with no problems then.With some blu-rays, I'm starting to see this message in red: I also downloaded AnyDVD as someone suggested, when using that cyberlink powerdvd would initially play a disc, but again, the disc started skipping.Using either powerdvd or leawo, any disc I try and play either won't play at all, or starts skipping/stuttering sooner or later, or just freezes at some point. After downloading leawo, at first I thought things were ok as it initially started to play a disc. After posting online about this, someone suggested I try leawo instead. I downloaded Cyberlink PowerDVD but whenever I inserted a disc an onscreen message flashed up saying it ccouldnt play cause the content was corrupted - this happened on several discs. I have been having problems trying to play blurays on my computer - I'm using an external bluray drive.
