So far I've encountered two blu-rays that feature a new(?) clever form of copy-protection. Instead of the usual advanced methods of encrypting that always get bypassed, this one is pretty simple in concept. Instead of 1 playlist for the movie in the disc folder, it has about 1000, 1 plays the movie correctly from start to finish, the other 999 playlists play the scenes/shots in 249 different random orders. Only the play button in the blu-ray menu knows which is the correct one.
You could rip all 1000 versions of the movie and spend a year watching them all to find the one that makes sense I suppose.
IIRC you can copy the disc wholesale and the copy will play in a regular blu-ray player but of course that's not what I'm after, I want a file I can edit with. I can't seem to find a way round it.
Has anybody else encountered this? Can anybody think of a workaround?
