libdvdcss Review by
4.5/5
  IMPORTANT NOTICE

Developed by the VideoLAN Project, libdvdcss is a library that can be used to read DVDs without having to deal with decryption. At the same time, the library is also able to read discs that have a different region than your drive which is a must if you want to use Handbrake in order to rip a DVDs using your Mac.

By default, the libdvdcss library is available as source code, and the users must manually configure, build, and install the library via the command line. In order to simplify the installation procedure, Softpedia's team has compiled the libdvdcss library from source and tested it on OS X El Capitan, macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra. Download the zip file, unzip the libdvdcss_1.4.2.zip file to the Downloads folder

Option one - double click on Auto_install.command

Option two - run these commands in a Terminal window: sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/   sudo cp ~/Downloads/libdvdcss_1.4.2/libdvdcss.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib  

The libdvdcss library comes with a sample of known CSS keys that are used to decode the DVD content: the library will try each key, and if everything fails, will start decrypting the stream directly.

The libdvdcss library integrates certain variable that can adjust its behavior: DVDCSS_VERBOSE, DVDCSS_METHOD, DVDCSS_RAW_DEVICE, and DVD_CACHE. The best part is that you can change these values without modifying the app that uses the library.

libdvdcss provides quick access to a collection of known CSS keys in order to help developers to create DVD players without having to worry about the DVD encryption, or if the disc zone matches the drive region.

The libdvdcss library is very easy to use and is supported on most popular operating systems, such as GNU/Linux, Solaris, Windows, OpenBSD, BeOS, NetBSD, HP-UX, FreeBSD, or OS/2.

What's new in libdvdcss 1.4.2:

  • Fix potential free of uninitialized pointer.
  • Fix buffer overflow when region mask is 0x0.
