I downloaded VLC for Windows from videolan.org (and you can do so by going there - it's the first thing you see when you get to that URL) and it works perfectly to play Bd discs.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? The keys and certificates to access Blu-Ray discs *ARE NOT PART OF VLC* no matter /where/ you get it from. It has a library which will use the keys *IF THEY ARE PRESENT ON THE SYSTEM.* The fact that Windows *CAN* play them and Linux *DOESN'T* (out of the box) is that *YOU HAVE PAID THE LICENCE FEE* when you bought Windows and the keys are provided/updated by Windows. What do you think are in the multiple updates for the media Windows system?
Please tell me what is in the multiple updates for Windows? I have yet to see anything in the updates which relates to the media and Blu-ray discs. Oh, and I do updates only about once every 3 months and I do not use Windows on a daily basis, nor even a weekly or fortnightly basis.
This thread already contains the information necessary for you to find the keys in your Windows installation and copy them to your Linux installation. If you took the time to do that rather than spray bile about VLC then perhaps you would have already solved your "problem".
You are getting rather hot under the collar about all this, aren't you? You have an interest in VLC or what? You have been happy to be politely discuss this topic until now. So what has changed at your end?
