Blu-ray rips?

ethan_9219 · 2009-04-11, 08:02

Hi all,

Was wondering if anybody may be able to help me out here. Though i will understand if most are unwilling due to the possible illegalities of the situation.

Over the past year and a bit, i have purchased quite a few Blu-ray movies. However, i only have them on disc but would like to watch them through my XBMC HTPC.

So, the real question is where is it possible to download blu-ray rips from, and what would i search for etc. etc.?

I would only be downloading the rips of movies that i actually own. I don't much feel like purchasing a blu-ray drive for my PC, getting the software and working out all the settings and learning so much new stuff just to rip a few blu-rays.

So, i figure for now, until it gets easier, i would just download the ones that i have physical copies of. So, everyone, where do you get your blu-ray rips from?

Oh, P.S., i know this is probably not the best place to post this, but it seemed most fitting out of everywhere else.

Thanks

You are kidding, right? Do you actually expect ANY type of answer to such an absurd question??

ethan_9219 · 2009-04-12, 03:14

No, i'm not kidding...Should i be? I don't understand the absurdedness of the question?

Sure, i may have some naïvety towards this subject, so i apologise if this is a question that should not have been asked.

But, given the popularity of DVD rips on bittorrent, Divx's, and all other flavours of downloadable movies i thought the same might have been so for Blu-rays...But, i guess not.

In any case, thanks for the reply, and pointing out to me that i should probably not expect any replies. I honestly didn't realise that this question was a ridiculous one.

Let's put it this way...

What you are asking is along the same lines of a junkie walking into a pharmacy and asking "Do you know where can I get some cocain? It is for medical purposes, so it's all ok..."

Nothing personal... but no one is THAT naive

ethan_9219 · 2009-04-12, 03:53

Yeah, okay, i get exactly what you mean!

In that case, though, do you have any recommended software for ripping my blu-rays to my hard drive?

Sorry, I have never even SEEN a BluRay in front of me yet - was just trying to explain you why no one would answer your question...

Okay...Fair enough!

All I can say is that AfterDawn forum may be your help.

Just look in blu-ray discussion section.

Good luck!

hello, try this:

1. Get Blu-ray player for your PC
2. Get AnydvdHD
3. Optional step, get Tsmuxer if you want to strip your file down.

AnydvdHD will put your entire movie on your harddrive, using up to about 40gig space. With Tsmuxer you can strip language etc you dont need, this will save alot. If you want even smaller files you can also lower video quality, this however takes some time.

AnydvdHD is beeing programmed on an island in the caribbeans to avoid getting sued and costs some money, Tsmuxer however is free.

Good luck.
