MSG:3031,0,1,”Drive BD-ROM NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10 1.00 has RPC protection that can not be bypassed. I kept getting this error while trying to rip a movie: I wasn’t sure if VMware would recognize the Blu-Ray functions on the drive but it does! Once physically installed edit the VM properties so that it uses the host device as the CD/DVD drive and then select the optical drive. Unfortunately my server case only has a slim-DVD slot on it so I’m using an LG BT30N (these can be found on eBay). At first I tried using an external USB Blu-Ray drive but the VM didn’t seem to be able to get direct access to it. I am using my Datacenter in a Box Build and run the ARM on Ubuntu Linux LTS under VMware. You can use Ubuntu on bare metal or run it under VMware (some have gotten it to work under Proxmox). LG seems to be one of the better drive manufacturers in my experience. If you have a normal 5 1/4″ drive bay I suggest getting the LG WH16NS40 16X blu-ray drive since it is known to not be speed limited. Most Blu-Ray drives have an anti-feature called “riplock” where it will purposefully cripple the read-speed on DVDs and Blu-Rays to around 2X to 4X instead of the advertised drive speed (I believe this to be false advertising). ARM Equipment & Hardware Blu-Ray Hardware and VMware Settings A WARNING ABOUT SOME BLU-RAY DRIVES It was originally designed for headless Ubuntu LTS, but people have gotten it to work on other distributions. Now the ARM has been rewritten in Python and has a number of options to customize the way different people handle media. Since then quite a few contributors have made many improvements. I uploaded the scripts to GitHub under the MIT license.
