dobyblue Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If you have the ISO ripped (or MKV), then you'll just need a DTS HD MA decoder like Arcsoft (mentioned in this thread). I found one, added it to my EAc3to GUI front end (HDConcertRipper), and voila...have up to 24/192 decoded from the lossless DTS codec. My only issue is that I need someone to rip the BD's; I don't have a ripper. Ted if you can take a moment to go over the process used I'd appreciate it. I downloaded the .zip of the eac3to from the first link in Madshi's linked post, I'm on W7-PROx64 so my .Net is already 4.0 and 4.5 installed, don't care about WMA, then downloaded and installed the .zip from MuteyM's first post which is HDConcertRipper 1.4.2 I have the dtsdecoder.dll from a trial of ArcSoft, how do I "register" that with HDConcertRipper? Or is it automatic as soon as you copy that .dll into the HDConcertRipper folder? Link to comment
ted_b Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's been quite a while since I did this. I need to find that dll, etc. Gimme some time. I just remember that not every version of Arcsoft will do the trick. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

Audio_ELF Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 DVD Audio Extractor is available for Mac but it seems Passkey is Windows only. Is there another tool that can be used to replace Passkey? I think you should be able to use MakeMKV to create a backup of the disk to BD folder while removing the copy protection. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
JJJ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks. Apologies, I posted having read the article but not all the comments. I will give it a go.

electro69 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hello! Does anyone have any experience of the latest Samsung Blu-Ray drive the SE-506 CB - as the AB drive is now discontinued? This is for Blu-Ray audio ripping using DVDAE? I'm using Mac OSX Mountain Lion. I ordered an AB drive from Amazon but got a CB - they said no AB's available. Doe sit matter? Has the firmware been fixed to prevent the trick with DVDAE for example? Anyone tried it? Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Help! Passkey is no longer available to US. What is an alternative?

DigiPete Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 MakeMKV is the alternative.

Skeptic Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 AnyDVD HD is the equivalent of Passkey. MakeMKV is a different sort of tool. It's for ripping discs, rather than being able to play discs or access the data on them with any software of your choosing. And I have not found it to be updated for the latest releases as quickly as AnyDVD HD is. Both have their own uses. Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I downloaded AnyDVD HD. No time now but fingers crossed. Thanks!

KDinsmore Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Skeptic. AnyDVD works great and very easy.

KDinsmore Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I let my AnyDVD expire (stupidly didn't buy lifetime) and have a few Blu-rays that I want to rip. I found RedFox which is the same thing (because of the whole legal situation) and downloaded but now I have issues. I was able to get these ripped but need a new decrypter. Red Fox and PassKey both will decrypt but then my external Pioneer BD portable isn't recognized by Windows. Looking at DVD Fab which has audio rip form BD now. Help!!!

KDinsmore Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I just realized Pass Key is DVD Fab. No clue which decrypter to use.

ElviaCaprice Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I just realized Pass Key is DVD Fab. No clue which decrypter to use. That's the one I use. Has never been an issue for me as long as your using the BR capable ripper. Just is important is your media player and it's ability to play all formats off of any media hard copy/data holder. Once I"ve ripped the BR to HDD, then it's quite simple to strip the audio out, using DVD fab, often I rip in chapters the audio and video, then use JRiver to strip out the audio. It's been awhile since I've done this. Haven't purchased hard media in ages. (JRiver) Jetway barebones NUC (mod 3 sCLK-EX, Cybershaft OP 14) (PH SR7) => mini pcie adapter to PCIe 1X => tXUSBexp PCIe card (mod sCLK-EX) (PH SR7) => (USPCB) Chord DAVE => Omega Super 8XRS/REL t5i (All powered thru Topaz Isolation Transformer) Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I used it before no issues. No clue what is going on.
