I am curious as what settings I should have checked and should I leave the checkmark in automatic or set it to manual. My goal is to back up my movie only so most blu ray players will play them. I have thought of making them into a single file format that is still blu ray so my family can view them from 0our home group.. my kids are really rough on dvd`s and blu-rays so I tend to buy alot from the red box when they have one I want for sale.anyway back to the subject at hand , I am unsure of what settings I should use for optimum quality and performance. (i got spoiled with dvdrebuilder pro).
