Blu Ray Rip

[TheRunningOtaku]

Putting this in General Discussion because I'm not sure where else to put it

I'm trying to rip Blu-Rays from my Blu-Ray collection to a NAS so I can stream it to my Chromecast, etc. However, I'm having trouble with the rips - some discs can be ripped through handbrake no problem at all, but others refuse to be ripped.

 

I used to have AnyDVD HD until SlySoft closed down (in Feb) and I don't trust them give them my cash a second time

I tried makeMKV, but it doesn't work on the specific disc either, and it's a 60 day free trial before I have to pay for it

 

Any ways to rip blu rays using freeware or open source software? Tried searching around but I couldn't find much...

Nope, you tried the only two tools I know of. CloneBD also exists but it was by slysoft too I think

Yeah, kind of a bummer how they "closed down", relaunched all their products but refused to let existing customers update their software (I doubt it would have cost them much to carry the keys over, wouldn't it?)

If you already gave the company your money before, I wouldn't imagine you'd feel too guilty about getting the software from somewhere else would you?

 

I still use anydvd for ripping my blu-rays. It gets the job done and don't have any problems with the resulting rips. As long as you can get rid of the copy protection on the discs you could use any program to make the video file/format you want. You could even leave them in their uncompressed  state and play them that way if you like, but obviously the file sizes are much bigger.

We can't point you to places where you could get the software, so please don't ask as it will break forum rules and could result in an infraction.

That's true, too. 

I'll have a look for that, actually

Did you buy AnyDVD under slysoft?

OMG, sorry have just realised my mistake... I actually use DVDfab and have had it for a number of years now, I get all the updates too for free. It shows how often I use this software when I couldn't even remember it's name, lol
