    Great. I knew there was a way to do it. Would you mind telling me >>>>>> how?

    Wow. You are totally clueless. HE WAS JOKING. What you are talking
    about is impossible.

    Here:

    is one of the Blu-ray discs that I'm trying to play.

    This:

    is what happens when I put it in VLC and try to play it.

    It says the input can't even be opened, much less played. And, believe >>>> it or not, I couldn't even rip the media files off the Blu-ray disc
    with HandBrake.

    HandBrake has never failed me before. Even if the DVD player won't
    play a Blu-ray disc without a converter program, I should at least be
    able to get the files off of it with HandBrake.

    This is all getting very frustrating.

    How shocking that VLC and Handbrake won't allow you to rip a Blu-Ray
    disc through a DVD player. I am flabbergasted.

    Me too. HandBrake always works; it's rock solid.

    See? You've just highlighted that Handbrake fails as software. Since it can't accomplish the impossible, this is a stain on open-source's reputation.


    A tool thats 98% reliable is still a pretty good tool.
