I recently purchased the Camel Air Born set - a great collection of remastered and, in some cases, remixed, CDs and Blurays of the band's output from 1973-1984. Several of the Blurays include high res 2 channel and 5.1 surround mixes. I'd like to rip the 2 channel high res to FLAC.

I used MakeMKV and it produced mkv files but I couldn't figure out how to convert those FLAC. I then used MakeMKV to create a "backup" file but DVDAE is complaining that these ripped files still have BD+ protection. Is there an option I need to enable or something? It sounded to me like using MakeMKV to create the backup would strip out the protection. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to extract the high res audio from the Bluray disc to FLAC.

  I use a Tascam Professional CD Recorder. The wav file on the CD can then be converted to whatever you want. I transferred the wav file to a jump drive using Nero. I suppose I could have converted wav to FLAC, don't recall if Nero could do that but probably.

Removing copy protection can be done but I don't know how. Proof of the concept is found on torrent sites in the form of 70GB ripped Blu-ray movies without any protection.

Downloading these torrent files is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. All movie downloads are tracked by the studios. My brother tried twice years apart and got caught both times. The studio sends your IP address to your internet provider which then sends an email that basically says "You now have one strike and don't ever think of doing this again."

I recommend installing a strong anti-virus program like ESET NOD32 and Malwarebytes Premium before searching for encryption breaking software.

You might take a look at Handbrake, an open source converter for primarily video files. Not familiar with the audio aspects but does appear it will convert to FLAC.

Do you all not know how to use Internet search engines?  DVDFab is the program most often used to remove copy protection from Bluray discs; after that MakeMKV should work fine (or DVDAudio Extractor, or other commercial apps)
