It's not mysterious.was able to get the disc successfully decrypted using other tools (it is a non BD+ and non BD-J disc, so thats easy enough to decrypt using open source tools, i.e. use the vuk to decrypt it), I'm still confused why anydvd had issues with it.
Ok, that makes sense. Basically, I'm the first person to try to use this disc w/ anydvd?It's not mysterious.
AnyDVD will connect to the key server for every disc it has never seen before - and in that instance, a proper authentication is required, which is not possible, when only mounting an image.
Once it generated the key, it will work for everyone even from an ISO.
