article published on 26 August, 2011
Last week we introduced you to a number of new guides and videos from AfterDawn. This week we are going to shine the spotlight a little closer on one of them.
If you are used to extracting and converting titles from DVDs, it can be quite a shock to move up to the world of Blu-ray.
Thanks to features like Picture-In-Picture, BD-Java, and multiple video formats and resolutions, just ... [ read the full article ]

It all sounds needlessly complex to me. I will stick to staxrip or handbrake to encode my blu-ray rips. They are both nearly one click solutions (once you have saved a template)

Or just download scene rips which correspond with the titles you own.

Blu-ray is such a pile of awkward cr@p.
I did a copy of a Blu-ray I own (using ImgBurn).
I lent it to my brother who has a Blu-ray ROM in his PC.
His PC (LG Blu-ray ROM, all up to date with firmwares) simply sees it as a blank disc, it can't even tell it has files on it.
It plays perfectly on my PC (LG Blu-ray kit) & on my LG stand-alone.
The joke is the BDA et al imagine this dissuades people from going after the far more user-friendly (and most barely lower in quality) .mkv files
(you know, the rips of every single Blu-ray title ever brought to market so far).
Way to turn people off bothering with the format at all BDA.
My bro is now adamant that it's really not worth persevering with Blu-ray as a blank media.
I don't blame him one bit.
TBH a couple of big cheap hard drive & a media reader like the WD HD TV Live I recently got is proving to be much more useful & convenient.
Who'd risk a BD50 -R at the stupid price they are?

I would hope Blue Ray would just go away so that the standard DVD would remain (since I can enjoy a movie on DVD just as fine as Blue Ray). Why promote a technology that will cost more to get all my movies converted to Blue ray when I already have them on DVD and there's no problem to making backups of my masters since that's all been figured out a long time ago? Just so I can see a bug in super clarity sitting on a leaf or storing more stuff on a disc? DVDs are so cheap that I can easily afford to buy them in bulk.

Thats more then likly a problem with the disc used not being able to play on the Blu-Ray player. Gotta stick to the better discs, i only use verbatim and i've never had a Blu-Ray disc that didn't burn without error or wouldn't play on my player.
And yeah i prefer Blu-Ray over DVD any day of the week, It's much nicer you can have several versions of the same movie on the same dics instead of having several discs and double price (if they even do put out each version on DVD.
Blu-Ray is not hard to work with at all but when Afterdawn puts out a guide that makes it look like its hard then yeah i understand why people would give up from the start.

No it's not a problem disc, it's a problem format.
I just tried to rip another Blu-ray last night, I can get all the folders copied to a blank disc and I can see them on my PC but the so-called security won't allow it to play.
It's BS.
Thankfully I have a BD50 -RE for such an occasion, I'm not into making expensive BD50 -R coasters.
As a user-friendly format Blu-ray is a poor joke.

Well with laws that says is illigal to copy/clone why should it be easy anyway?
But i just know that with AnyDVDHD & Imgburn i've never had a problem copy and play it.
the guide uptop is pretty much only for when u wanna rip it to x264/xvid etc...

You need ANYDVDHD to make a copy that will play on your PC just like you would need Shrink or DVD Decrypter to copy DVDs. There is also MakeMKV that is currently free because it is in beta, it can both copy the whole BD to your hard drive so you can make a backup or you can make a mkv from the tracks of the movie. I don't know why people want Blu-ray to die off it is a far superior format in both picture quality and sound almsot 99% of the time. Why would you still want a highly compressed picture and sound on DVD?

I have no desire to see it die, but I do recognise a consumer-hostile 'security' nightmare when I see & use it.

The picture is still "highly compressed" just less than DVD.
Most people do not have nor ever will have the receiver & speaker set needed to even hear lossless audio.
It's a bit of a moot point for the mass-market.
