# libdvdcss
From the [website](http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html):
> libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption.
This repository hosts the compiled `libdvdcss-2.dll` for Windows. Download
the `.dll` from this repository and drop it into the Handbrake installation
folder to convert your DVDs to mp4 files.
## Instructions
* Pick the version of libdvdcss you want (the highest version should be fine).
* Download the appropriate `libdvdcss-2.dll` from this repository.
* Move `libdvdcss-2.dll` into the Handbrake installation folder (usually `C:\Program Files\HandBrake`).
* Enjoy ripping your DVDs. Please use responsibly.
## Compile libdvdcss yourself
**Either Linux, macOS, or Windows 10 is required.**
These instructions are tailored for those familiar with the command line on a Linux machine. I documented them so I don't forget them.
Download the libdvdcss [source code](http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/).
For Windows 10:
* Open the Ubuntu VM built into Windows 10 (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
* `cd` to the directory the source code was downloaded to (the path to your Downloads folder in the Ubuntu VM is `/mnt/c/Users//Downloads`).
Run the following to build `libdvdcss-2.dll`:
```sh
# macOS
brew install mingw-w64
# Windows 10 and Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install mingw-w64
tar -xjf /path/to/libdvdcss.tar.bz2
cd /path/to/libdvdcss
# 32-bit
./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32
# 64-bit
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
make
# .libs/libdvdcss-2.dll
# Run 'make clean' before compiling again.
```
### Troubleshooting
If you get an error like `WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.`
```sh
touch aclocal.m4 Makefile.am Makefile.in
```
## Bundling a release
```sh
cp -R / dist/libdvdss-dll-
```
Create a `.tar.gz` archive:
```sh
tar -czf dist/libdvdcss-dll-.tar.gz dist/libdvdcss-dll-/
```
Create a `zip` archive:
```sh
zip -r dist/libdvdcss-dll-.zip dist/libdvdcss-dll-/
```
