internet is required to open this blu-ray disk

[Prodigy]

DVDFab and DVDFabPasskey

I would like to have the BD's key database to be within the software as that would be far more efficient to have the software work without internet connection.

True it would work better, but the question is how much space is required for the keys?

It would be nice if it worked as a virus program works where it updates the keys upon start, or every day, etc.

Just paid for it last week, everything was fine now I can't rip any Blu-Rays...even ones I ripped before. I'm done with their constant problems.

Could you expand on the "constant problems"?

Hi,
I am just starting and having the problem with; internet is required to open BR Disk, please allow. I have done that and still have the message. The program won't read to the disk, Management. As stated, this is my 1st effort. My burner is an LG Wh10LS30.
I did try 4 times before getting this message, failed each time, then the message, and can't get started.
Thanks for any help

bluray keys

To my understanding, most dvds and blurays up until the end of 2007 used the same main processing key. I would suspect that since then they have varied the keys between the products. So each newer product would have a unique key for that title. I would also suspect the possibility they on reprinting an older title, the maker may make a new master that also would now have its own unique key, since the original key was broken and entered the public arena.

also update - Beijing time Fri 9:26 AM and DVDFAB servers still not functioning.

I was being simplistic. It does it for BD+ protected disks.

It seems some disc don't need a connection, I just tested one with no BD+ protection and it opened fine but the one with BD+ popped up that error.

Further information

Obviously you do not understand!!!

In simplistic terms, BD's have keys while DVD's do not and Fab talks to the server and obtains a key when you start to rip a BD.

For each Bluray, does DVDFab need to connect to the server and grab a key? In other words, does each Bluray have it's own key?

Or is it just for new keys that it must connect? I put an older Bluray in (Felon) and it was able to read the disk and display the info.

Just want a better understanding of how the software works.

Thanks.

This is far more efficient than holding a key database within the software which would then create bloatware and also require a software update every time a new release comes on the market.

same xxxx as before, Why do blue rays need to connect to a server but DVDs do not? This is making me think I would like my money back. ;(

Give it a break, you tosser !!!

8:32 am in Bejing, and no one is awake yet. Software is still down.
And I have been given a break from using it ALL day.

I do like the software, But this issue of it not working due to an external issue, really gets me nervous, Even paid versions will only work as long as the company is active, with active servers. It would just the recording industry to shut down the company to effectively stop all the users, past and present
