Blu-Ray has won the high definition wars against HD-DVD. Everyone thought that consumers would start buying Blu-Ray players and DVDs like crazy once that happens but this is apparently not the case. Blu-Ray is struggling, most users seem to be quite happy with their DVD players and computers and cannot see a reason to invest money in a Blu-Ray player.
Still, it is only a matter of time until Blu-Ray (or the next-HD generation) becomes the standard. Users who already have a Blu-Ray player in their computer might want to transfer the movies to their computer system to mount or burn them again.
Enter Blu-Ray & DVD Decrypter. A free software suite that can be used to rip, mount and burn Blu-Ray DVDs.
The main interface provides easy access to rip, burn and emulate Blu-Ray DVDs. Blu-Ray DVDs can be ripped as ISO images or as m2ts files. Please note that a connected Blu-Ray player is required for the process. To burn Blu-Ray images a Blu-Ray recorder is required.
Images that reside on the hard drive can be mounted by the application which is basically a Blu-Ray player emulation on the computer system to be able to watch the movie if the right player is installed on the system.
The Blu-Ray & DVD Decrypter software is easy to use in most cases. It usually takes only a few clicks to rip and burn a Blu-Ray DVD with this software.
Update: The developer website and the development of the program have been discontinued. You can download the latest version of the program from Softpedia. A better solution is the actively developed Blu-Ray ripper Ripbot 264.

A standard, perhaps by corporations trying to shove products down our throat. Blu-ray will be the last physical media to exist. With the int@rnet, we no longer need such media types; therefore, physical media is dead.
Sony needs to come up with a new business model b/c licensed drivers and software will not gain the market share they are looking for and they will continue to loose revenue until they get this fundamental concept.
Hi, there, I have not used the blu-ray ripper mentioned above, but personally I use Pavtube blu-ray ripper, which is easy-to-use and powerul, it can also deal with general DVDs as well as protected Blu-ray discs. In additon, it supports a wide range of output formats, which can definitely meet your various end uses. Moreover, it has a “Directly Copy” function, with this function, I can copy my DVDs and blu-rays to the hard drive of my computer or the external hard drive without any loss of the original quality.
