How To: Rip Blu-ray Discs

Included digital copies are still the exception rather than the norm in the Blu-ray world. Lame. You'd like to rip those discs for playback elsewhere, right? But there is something you should know first.

"7. Now you can choose how you want to convert the video. RipBot gives you presets for Apple TV, iPod or iPhone, PSP or a high-res file which can then be re-burned to a new BD disc. I chose the iPod/iPhone level."

So you wasted loads of time ripping an HD movie and then downgraded it to iPod resolution?

Epic fail.

badz1496291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

genius, right?

Bnet3436291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

How is that epic fail? You wouldn't want to watch the highest res possible on an iPod? Assuming your a person who travels alot with his/her iPod.

MNicholas6291d ago

which is why movie studios would love for DVD to die off tommorrow.

Bnet3436291d ago

Yup, that's true. Today, DVD's are easy to rip. But back when DVD came out, we had crappy dialup and no one really bothered DLing and ripping DVD's. So it's like BR today.

ShinMaster6291d ago

What's the point of watching the highest res possible if you're gonna do it on an iPod screen.

Ryudo6291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

The Ipod and Iphone screen doesn't have many pixels in fact they have less pixels then a standard TV. HD basically is just a higher resolution display so there are 2 thing wrong with your logic.

1) Both a BluRay and normal DVD movie would look the same on an Ipod/Iphone. If not the normal DVD would look better because it wouldn't suffer from huge compression and be closer to its native resolution.

2) To see the effects of BluRay realistic you want a 26"/32" screen or even bigger would be better. Try seeing the effects of BluRay on a 3" screen if you can you have bloody good eye sight.

socomnick6291d ago

Theoneneo816291d ago

HarukoHex6291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

actually not really, it wouldn't be any larger then 10-15GB for one 1080p movie. even with 5.1 surround sound on it.

Bnet3436291d ago

Half your HDD? For one BR rip? Damn speak for yourself kid, I'm rollin on 1 TB.

I'm going to post what someone else posted...

"Or just use AnyDVD-HD to rip to .ISO and download Virtual Clone Drive (free from slysoft) and mount the disc as if it were a real disc. No fuss over encoding or getting codecs to work. Note: This is a 1:1 copy so it will take a 30(+)GB of space per movie, but with this you have all the menus, subtitles, etc."

1 hour total.

thereapersson6291d ago

Pretty much the same effect, though. Slysoft is a reputable company.

Firstkn1ghT6291d ago

Crappy article. Their are easier ways to rip blurays and watch them on your ps3. It's easy as pie.

thereapersson6291d ago

Not that you would know, considering you don't own a PS3...

OSIRUSSS6291d ago

Rip Blurays for what? So I watch it on my comp? With My 17 inch Screen? No thanks. So now I have To buy a Bluray Burner and Disks and do all of this so I can watch Blurays on my TV? Yeah thats really smart.

zagibu6291d ago

Is archiving. What's more comfortable, an external 1TB drive with 30 - 50 rips on it, or a shelf full of discs?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio22d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing22d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
