I am a CyberLink newbie.
I am interested in Blu Ray disk use and eventually copying.


I purchased an ASUS Blu Ray drive and intalled it on my workstation.
It came with Power2go8 and Powerbackup. I installed those products. They seem fairly straight forward -- a utility to copy stuff to/from a BluRay media and a backup program to create a backup media.

What I want to do is to essentially rip Blu Ray DVDs. To do that I need to read them and I thought I needed to purchase PowerDVD because it could avoid the Cinavia watermark. Is that true??

My intention was to use MakeMKV to pull the data from the Blu-ray, then run it through Handbrake to compress it down and write it to a Blu Ray disc or my media server.

Along the way I thought that I read that I needed PowerDVD 18 to remove the Cinavia watermark and then I could take the data and pass it through Handbrake.

Is that true -- do I need PowerDVD 18 to eliminate the watermark?
