Many video DVDs and Blu-Ray discs use protections to prevent the reproduction of the movies. This often prevents creating a copy of a movie even if it has been purchased legally. Users often face two different protections. The first is a copy protection that has been added to the disc to prevent that its contents are copied (or backed up). The second is a regional encoding which can cause all kinds of troubles for users as it can prevent the playback of a movie. A movie DVD purchased on the last trip the US for instance might not play on an European dvd player.
DVDFab Passkey is a beta software that runs as a Windows driver in the background. It will automatically remove protections from DVDs and Blu-Rays so that these discs can be copied and played regardless of their protection or regional restrictions.
This approach ensures that all programs can access the contents on the DVDs and Blu-Rays.
Here are the core features and benefits of DVDFab Passkey:
1. Removes all DVD copy protections, like CSS, CPPM, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, RipGuard, FluxDVD, CORE X2, etc.
2. Removes all Blu-ray known AACS and BD+ copy protections, Region Code, BD-Live and UOPs.
3. Allows you to watch any region DVD on your region specific DVD drive and player software.
4. Allows you to watch Blu-ray disc without HDCP-compliant graphics card and without HDCP-compliant display.
5. Allows you to use any software to access unencrypted DVD and Blu-ray disc content.
DVDFab Passkey is currently offered as a free beta version. The final version of the program will be commercial. The software program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of most Microsoft operating systems including Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Cool. Now I don’t have to rip a copy of blu-ray just so that I can watch it on my laptops. Thanks for the info.
WATCH OUT! And I mean it.
Owning, using or even downloading software that can disable copyright protection on CDs and DVDs is illegal in many jurisdictions. Think EU, especially Germany for example. Get some legal advice before playing around with this. (I think that had to be said. Sorry for taking out the fun.)
I have agree with you John,use of DVDFab Passkey does sound illegal to me.Like you said it’s better to watch out!
I have a team of lawyers on retainer. Time they earn their keep. As far as they know, it’s ok for me to watch discs that I had purchased and in physical possession of. So you movie industry ghouls can just send me a subpoena. I wish to retire with your money.
Watch out for your shadow while your at it. Pathetic.
