Blu-ray Rip

[Megagab99]

Hey,

I have AnyDVD HD and I would like to know if I should buy a Blu-ray burner. If I do, can I rip a Blu-ray movie with AnyDVD as an .iso file and then burn it on a blu-ray blank disk with Nero (I have and expansion pack that enables Blu-ray and HD-DVD support)?:confused:

:thanks:

The answer is yes, but why would you want to unless you are planning on pirating them. ;)

They'd have to be BD25 movies in order to fit on a burt disk, or a BD50 that's been re-encoded at a lower bitrate. Or I suppose Panasonic has just recently released a drive that can burn BD-R DL disks, but I imagine the burner is expensive, and so would the disks.

You are better off storing them on a hard drive and watching from that.

You should be asking yourself if you should buy a Blu Ray burner.....

If you can justify the price of the burner, and also the price of the media then sure go for it!!!

Without trying to sound condecending.... it would be a pretty useless Blu Ray burner if you could not burn a BD ISO to a blank BD disc.

I have the Sony Burner that can burn the 50gb or the 25gb discs.

But I too wonder why? The COST of a 50gb disc is about the SAME cost as just buying the movie in the first place. Unless you buy the Blu-ray 50gb blanks in bulk. They are still about $30 a piece.

Currently I can buy non-pirated original copy blu-rays for $20 to $25 through discount movie stores

I actually haven't burned a Blu-ray disc now in over 6 months. Kind of pointless when I have a TiVo/Xbox 360/Popcorn hour/Blu-ray player that can all read HD files I create and store on my 18TB NAS. :)

At some point in time I'm sure some people will legitimately want to back up their movies if/when media prices come down. I'd almost be tempted to buy a burner now but with my luck in having crap happen while I'm burning I'd probably end up with a lot of really expensive coasters for my coffee cup and I don't really anymore right now since Verbatim moved their DVD+DL manufacturing out of Singapore.
