Blu-Ray is a proprietary movie format that is owned by Sony. Blu-Ray movies are displayed in high definition, and play up to 1080p quality movies. One issue with Blu-Ray movies, however, is you must own a Sony Blu-Ray DVD player to watch them. These players are quite expensive, and many people do not want to spend that much on a DVD player. Here's a way to rip Blu-Ray movies to your computer so you can view them on the monitor.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Windows PC
  • DVD ripping software
  • Ripbot 264
  • NET Framework 2.0
  • Avisynth and ffdshow codec pack
  • Haali media splitter
  • Blu-Ray drive
  • Free HD space (at least 80 gb per movie)

    Ready to Rip

  1. Step 1

    Download and install AnyDVD and Ripbot 264, .net framework, avisynth and ffdshow codec pack, as well as the Haali media splitter to the PC. Open AnyDVD once you have installed it.

  2. Step 2

    Select "Rip DVD to harddisk" from the menu in AnyDVD. This should take approximately 1 hour. This conversion should produce a .m2ts file.

  3. Step 3

    Open Ripbot 264, and click "Add" to transcode the .m2ts file. Ripbot will process the file, which should take only a few minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Choose the final file format you would like to transcode the .m2ts file into. This will present several choices, including Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, PSP or high-resolution file.

  5. Step 5

    Choose the video size output by clicking "Properties." You can preview how the movie will look during this step.

  6. Step 6

    Click "OK," and then "Start" to begin transcoding the Blu-Ray file. This process will take at least as long as the movie playback. For example, a 3 hour movie will take at least 3 hours, probably even a bit longer.
