VLC is an exceptional free media player software and available for almost every operating system, Mac, Windows, Android, iOS and Linux devices. The only limitation in the program lies in that it doesn't support all audio video formats. To support Blu-Ray playback, VideoLAN and the VLC development team present the fifth version of "Twoflower" which is VLC 2.0.4 (now the version is 2.2.4). Here I'd like to share a comprehensive guide on how to get Blu-ray playable on VLC player.

Part I: How to Play Blu-Ray Movies with VLC on Window/Mac

Preparation:

Download the latest version of VLC media player.

After that, go to VLC Blu-ray page to download the keys database and AACS dynamic library.

Step Five: Run VLC and click on Media and then click on Open Media option. In the popup, click on "Disk" and check "Blu-Ray" option then click on Play button. Now your Blu-ray movie will start playing in VLC.

After downloading key database and AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY from the site, put key database in the below directory /Library/Preferences/aacs/ (if this folder is not there then create it) on your Mac, and AACS dynamic library in the ~/lib directory. Now you can easily play Blu-ray movies on Mac using VLC media player.
