Method 1: VLC

This guide works on Media Key Block (MKB) version 68 and below. For reference MKBv69 was skipped, and MKBv70 was released around 2019-07.

Software

• VLC Player (install)

Check MKB version before Dumping

• If you ever put a disc with MKBv72 or higher, the key dump method below will never work again in that drive until new processing keys are available. I don't know the technical details but it seems Blu-Ray discs are able to update keys in your drives flash memory. After putting any MKBv72 disc that drive will only be able to decrypt using proprietary software.
• As I understand, you are allowed to put the disc into the drive, only if you playback/decrypt the disc it will update your drive keys. So checking MKB version before playback should be possible.

Dumping Guide

1. Start Here
2. Then create the directory "temp" at C:\ and follow the steps on the same tutorial in Step #1 thread under "Debugging:".
3. Now playback any BDMV with VLC and the key will outputted to the file "c:\temp\debuglog_aacs.txt"

Method 2: Find VUK + DVD Fab

Software

Some versions of Find VUK and DVDFab don't play well together. Your experience may vary.

• Find VUK (unzip FindVUK in a folder with write-access)
• DVDFab (install)

Dumping

• DVDFab should be closed.
• Insert Blu-Ray disc.
• Launch FindVUK.exe, this will automatically launch DVDFab.
• Select "Try" to use DVDFab as a trial.
• A progress bar window should appear as DVDFab is processing the disc, which takes a few seconds. FindVUK should report that it found the key.
• Eject the disc, close FindVUK, close DVDFab (you may have to forcibly kill the process, for me it frequently hangs at that time).
• In FindVUK's OnlineDB_Backup subfolder, an xml file is created for each disc. Example for [1] - D6630E5AA891CE4164A44E627E5672F092D0D717-BDROM (Meta).xml:
