bluray_info

The bluray_info project contains a collection of programs to access information about Blu-rays and extract content.

Programs include:

• bluray_info - display information about a Blu-ray in human-readable, JSON, or MKV chapter formats.
• bluray_copy - copy tracks, chapters, from a Blu-ray to a file or stdout
• bluray_player - a small Blu-ray player using libmpv as backend

Building

The two libraries that need to be installed for bluray_info to work is libbluray (at least version 1.2.0) and libaacs.

Configuration and installation uses common scripts:

./configure
make
make install

If you want to build bluray_player you will need libmpv installed on your system. Then, pass the build option to configure.

./configure --with-libmpv

Device Name

Blu-ray path can be a device, a filename, or a directory. With no argument, the default device for your operating system will be used.

bluray_info
bluray_info /dev/sr0
bluray_info movie.iso
bluray_info ~/Videos/Blu-ray/

Compatability

bluray_info has been tested on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD.

Other Software

libbluray ships with sample binaries that are also very helpful. See bd_info for generic information, and bd_splice to also copy a title.

ffmpeg can read Blu-rays directly. See their documentation here.

ffmpeg -playlist 1 bluray:/dev/sr0 -codec copy bluray.mkv
