Shouldn't I be able to plug a DVD/Blu-ray HDMI OUT into an HDMI capture card and then be able to decode the video with my computer's software?

Question

I am trying to get video out of a set of DVDs and Blu-rays and I don't know why this isn't working so far.

I've installed the capture card, I've installed the software to detect devices and receive video, but nothing good is happening.

Quoting from the product page you've linked:

Copy Protection

HDMI input is unable to capture from copy protected HDMI sources. Always confirm copyright ownership before capture or distribution of content.

Your content is protected with HDCP and this capture card is unable to capture it.
