Programs to back up blu-rays

[admin_exported]

Hey not sure if Mods will go nuts, but since its going to be legal to back-up your movie collection in a month or so, I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs (would prefer free cause i is cheap) to back up my blu-ray collection.

Of course I wont be doing this until it becomes legal in the new year, I dont even have a blu-ray reader yet, so no need to worry.

Thanks guys and gals

MyMovies to store and catalogue, AnyDVD HD (as and when the process becomes legal).

+ 1 on AnyDVDHD. Alternative is MakeMKV or DVDFab. Checkout Mediabrowser (in conjunction with media centre) as a front end tool.

What do you mean about backing up becoming legal in the new year?

Not sure if its jan, but have read somewere that they are going to start allowing people in the uk to back up THEIR OWN discs.

Considering its legal in lots of other countries.

Thanks guys for the sugestions, that anydvd has a free trial so might give it a BURN

I didn't know it was illegal to back up your own disc's as long as you have a legal fully purchased copy of the original!!! If you distribute your copy, then sure - every days a school day I guess! Better keep the curtains shut!

I'd like to see a film company take someone to court for making a digital copy of their own legitimatly purchased disc collection though!

Isn't copyright a funny thing? It's still illegal to copy CDs in the UK, and it's illegal to break copy protection on DVDs. Whether or not you'd be prosecuted for doing so for your own personal use is fairly clear for CDs (no) but not so clear for films...

Mods will no doubt shut down this thread, but yes, another vote for AnyDVDHD if you want blu-ray .iso or copy of the blu-ray structure.

Together with further processing with ClownBD (free) if you want to convert to .mpg or .ts files for a media player.

Not something ive done yet, but I know a lot of people use 'RIPBOT' which is free to download and use

you won't be able to use Ripbot by itself to backup blurays. You would still need something like AnyDVDHD or DVDFab passkey to circumnavigate the copy protection.

And of course it's circumnavigating the copy protection that's illegal.

I can not see the point of "backing up Blu Ray discs, it is not a cost effective option. the Files sizes are just to big.

A 2tb drive costs less than £70. On that I can fit approx 45 complete blurays (inc extra features). If I did movie only rips I could get approx 80 films on a drive. So we're talking a cost of 87p - £1.55 per film depending on the type of rip. In return for which I've got all my films available at a touch of a remote, quick loading times and the original discs are stored safely out of the reach of children's sticky fingers. The price of storage always goes down.

Exactly thats why I want to do it.

TBH I have never heard of anyone being charged for this, but as andrew says, its no ileagle to copy, but breaking the copy protection is very strange.
