Looking for a FOSS way to backup my encrypted Blueray disks so I can stream them with Jellyfin and not worry about the disks getting scratched.

Much like the linked post, I hope this thread serves as a snapshot or "state of the industry" as of April 2024.

    Basically your only other option is to find the keys for each BluRay you own yourself. I did go through the hoops a while ago and wrote it up: https://www.bennee.com/~alex/blog/2011/04/18/playing-blu-ray-under-linux/#playing-blu-ray-under-linux

    However it's a pain sourcing the encryption keys you need for each disk. While I work hard to prefer FLOSS apps over their propriety equivalents in this case I'm happy to pay the small fee for a perpetual licence of MakeMKV.

    It's not really possible to make an open source equivalent to MakeMKV. That would mean anyone could see the decryption key and it would be revoked immediately.
