How-To Dump Blu-ray Movies On Your PS3


Recommended Posts

Very true.

And I don't think the ripped image can be used for anything since AACS hasn't been cracked.

Right. Using one of the most basic of *NIX unitlities to produce a dump does not equate to being able to play that dump.

I don't know if this works, but you could try hooking up the xbox HD-DVD drive to a linux or OSX system and doing dd on a HD-DVD disk.

Im wondering - if the HD-DVD can be used on windows. Can it be used in linux also?

A PS3 running Fedora perhaps? Is it possible?

Seeing how far people have gotten with 360 in over a year (Not far) and how far they have gotten on ps3 in like 2 weeks I think its safe to say anythings possable at this points in time :p.

Because Microsoft really thought about security, Sony put the PSP os which is notoriously easy to crack with the ability to load linux, its not hard to realise why the PS3 is being cracked faster.

So the XMB is a completely new revolutionary operating system is it?

No, its adapted from the PSP.

your getting a bit confused.

The XMB is not an operating system. All it is a GUI.

edit - gunnerhkjp beat me to it lol

I don't know if you have read any news lately but I haven't seen one single PC/Laptop with a build-in Blu-Ray drive out in the market, but I can give you a couple of names of companies selling systems with a build-in HD-DVD drive right now.

- Acer

- Asus

- Fujitsu

- HP

- Samsung

- Toshiba

and if IIRC HP was one of the companies responsible for the success of the DVD format on the PC industry by providing systems with build-in DVD drives and later on DVD burners... :yes:

so, who do you thing have the advantage in the minds and pockets of the movies studios now days? :rolleyes:

there is. it's the SONY VAIO AR21S 17" HD Notebook Core 2 Duo T7200 BlueRay notebook.

Well, if we are looking for computers with blu-ray drives, the fujitsu TX95S/D has a bluray drive too.

NEC PC-VW790GG also comes with a blu-ray drive.

Surprising, since NEC is in the HDDVD camp.

wow! just wow! the two biggest laptop makers on the market (Sony and NEC) are selling new models loaded with a Blu-Ray drive... :rolleyes:

ohh teh noes, HD-DVD is d00m3d and Sony pw3d them all!!! :laugh: :rofl: :p

"teh obviously!" :shifty: :whistle:

They never said HD-DVD is doomed. They were simply replying to : "I haven't seen one single PC/Laptop with a build-in Blu-Ray drive out in the market."

Personally I think this is a sign Sony is going to block the use of Linux with some sort of patch. Then we will see a huge amount of bitching by the same people who laughed at this story. Although Linux is a cool idea, ultimately it is the key to piracy. Ironically people hate drm but would ridicule a format that is easy to crack.

Because Microsoft really thought about security, Sony put the PSP os which is notoriously easy to crack with the ability to load linux, its not hard to realise why the PS3 is being cracked faster.

yes.. but the fact that its based off of Linux doesn't mean anything now does it?!? :o

the 360 had backups going what a month after launch? no matter what you do there will be someone there waiting to crack it and sooner or later its going to happen.

But... if microsoft is so infallible from your statement, how on earth do they release updates that brick people's systems?

the system has Linux support, people would get Linux torun on it sooner or later so why not just give them what they want? The power of that hardware and using that in high resolutions... the possibilities are infinate. I love the idea of having Linux supported on the PS3.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
