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.
