Can VLC support Blu-ray playback directly? According some other users and my own experience, it’s not smooth. Well, there are some workarounds for you. Learn in detail.

Solution One:

You’ll need two files: keys database and AACS dynamic library.

Keys database: get the file
Mac OS: put it in ~/.config/aacs/

AACS dynamic library
Mac OS: right-click on VLC, choose “Show package contents” and put that file in Contents/MacOS/lib directory

NOTE!
This is not any official VLC release.
VLC does not yet support Blu-ray menus so you must manually select title to play.
Not all Blu-ray movies are supported.

Solution two:

Since you cannot play Blu-ray movie using VLC, there is a way to make it work, you need rip Blu-ray disc to VLC friendly format such as .mp4, .mkv, .mpeg-2. Here comes with Brorsoft
