	In order to ensure your dump is good, it's recommended to set up VLC to play back AACS-encrypted bluray .iso files directly, via the necessary steps involving libaacs. If you don't mind the lack of BD-J menus, you might want to disable them in VLC, as it can be difficult to configure Java properly for BD-J, and it'll make it harder to tell if your dump is good if you're trying to figure out if a disc isn't playing because of AACS issues or because of Java issues. If you have set that up already, you can just try playing your dumped .iso in VLC, provided the AACS keys are in your aacs KEYDB.cfg.

		+
		+	==BEE / Bus Encryption Enabled Discs==
		+
		+	A relative minority of BD-Video discs have Bus Encryption Enabled, or BEE. You're relatively unlikely to encounter this on BD-Video discs that are redump-eligible, as BEE was mostly used for more traditional movie releases. However, some redump-eligible discs do stll have it; additionally, all UHD discs have BEE, so if any are made that can be submitted to redump, BEE will have to be dealt with as well.
		+
		+	There are various ways to check if your disc has BEE, but the easiest, given this guide already recommends installing FindVUK, is just to run FindVUK - AACSkeys.bat and check what it outputs for the disc you're trying to dump. Example relevant section output of a disc ''with'' BEE, on a drive that has BEE:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	14:59:05 - Get basic AACS data
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	14:59:05 - AACS folder on disc is reachable - ValidateVUK is possible
		+	14:59:06 - Different VolumeName detected - most likely the disc has been changed... take the new name
		+	14:59:06 - VolumeName >FIRST_COW<
		+	14:59:06 - DiscId >EBEF96426CBB4122E4EAC145FCF343B4043352BB< (2020-04-13)
		+	14:59:06 - DiscType >BD<
		+	14:59:06 - MKB Revision >70<
		+	14:59:06 - Disc-BusEncEnabled >1<
		+	14:59:06 - Drve-BusEncCapable >1<
		+	14:59:06 - ==> Bus Encryption active!
		+	14:59:06 - UnitKeyCount >1<
		+	14:59:06 - >>> UnitKeyENC (1) >4B3CFB16D66D3A73CEDC58D3CBC0E493<
		+	14:59:06 - UnitKeyCount >1<
		+	14:59:06 - >>> UnitKeyDEC (1) >3E9945C8BB657E28AE3F282CB7EB163E<
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	14:59:06 - --- PART 2 --- VALIDATE VUK/UNITKEYS ---
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	14:59:06 - Drive is detected as 'REAL BLURAY' drive
		+
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	14:59:06 - Can not validate UnitKeys because of BusEncryption (missing ReadDataKey)!!
		+	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	"Disc-BusEncEnabled >1<" means that your disc has BEE; as seen here, there are various other indications.
		+
		+	If you're not sure if a disc you submitted in the past has BEE, you can also check the .xml generated by FindVUK to see if it has BEE. If the disc does have BE, the xml will contain "<BusEncryptionEnabled>1</BusEncryptionEnabled>". If the disc does not have BEE, the xml will contain "<BusEncryptionEnabled>0</BusEncryptionEnabled>"
		+
		+	To summarize when it comes to dumping purposes; almost all BD-ROM drives have BEE enabled. If the disc you're trying to dump has BEE, and your drive also has BEE, any dumps of that disc will be bad, and any AACSkeys dumped might* be bad as well. You will need to disable BEE before dumping in order to produce a good, working dump of a BEE disc, and to be able to submit your dump to redump.
		+
		+	There are various ways to check if your drive has BEE, but the easiest, given this guide already recommends installing FindVUK, is just to run FindVUK - ShowDriveDetailsForAllDrives.bat and check what it outputs for the drive you're trying to use. Example output of a drive ''with'' BEE:

		+	</pre>
		+
		+	As seen here, "BusEncryptionSupport : 1" indicates your drive has BEE.
		+
		+	Disabling BEE on your drive is achieved one of three ways:
		+
		+	'''1. Dump with a drive old enough that the firmware doesn't have BEE in the first place.'''
		+
		+	- I do not know the exact date drives started being produced with BEE, but it may have been around 2011. Regardless, just check whether your drive has BEE via the above method to be sure.
		+
		+	'''2. Dump with a libredrive firmware drive, as these drives have BEE disabled in firmware already.'''
		+
		+	- Self explanatory.
		+
		+	'''3. Dump with a libredrive compatible drive, like ribshark's modified ASUS firmware, after having opened MakeMKV once with that drive, and said drive not having been unpowered long enough to clear its memory. While BEE is still enabled in ribshark's firmware, the libredrive microcode stuff isn't patched out, and so as long as you open makemkv, it'll (among other things) disable the drive's BEE.'''
		+
		+	- FindVUK will still tell you that your drive has BEE, but will still give you proper AACSkeys dumps as long as you've disabled BEE via makeMKV before running it. DiC/redumper/etc will also still give you good dumps as long as you've disabled BEE via makeMKV before running them. If you want to be sure, it's always good to test BEE dumps via VLC, as described later.
		+
		+	In order to ensure your dump is good, it's recommended to set up VLC to play back AACS-encrypted bluray .iso files directly, via the necessary steps involving libaacs. If you don't mind the lack of BD-J menus, you might want to disable them in VLC, as it can be difficult to configure Java properly for BD-J, and it'll make it harder to tell if your dump is good if you're trying to figure out if a disc isn't playing because of AACS issues or because of Java issues. If you have set that up already, you can just try playing your dumped .iso in VLC, provided the AACS keys are in your aacs KEYDB.cfg. If they aren't there, but you've dumped your AACS keys via FindVUK already, you can copy the relevant line from FindVUK's VUKbackup cfg file into your KEYDB.cfg. If the disc plays in VLC, you've dumped your disc image and AACSkeys properly. If the disc does not play in VLC, and instead it throws aacs errors in the logs, assuming you've set up VLC to play back AACS-encrypted bluray .iso files properly (test with a non-BEE bluray first to make sure), then you've dumped your disc image or AACSkeys improperly.
		+
		+	- *I was able to get bad AACSkeys dumps when first discovering this, but I have not been able to reproduce that since. To be safe, though, just re-dump your AACSkeys after disabling BEE via any of the options described.
