Alright to clear up the legality part, I am trying to have blue ray movies saved to a hard drive to play directly on my smart TV free from an internet connection if need be. I own them and have no intention of selling, distributing or any other breach of copyright activity. Basically I am looking for full quality ripping.
I have found a program like DVDFab11 Does anyone have any comments about it or suggestions if it is worth purchasing the full version?
Or are other alternatives available?
Example I managed to get an old Blue Ray disk my Grandfather bought in 2012. It is the movie version of Les Miserables. Now the interesting thing is that I can find the movie file on the disk, copy it to my PC and play it. Upon doing that it plays but with no sound. However here is the interesting thing. If I duplicate or extend my PC screen via the HDMI to my smart TV then my smart TV will play that movie in all its glorious quality and decode the sound and play the sound as well.
I thought brilliant, this is simple, I cannot edit the movie in Premiere Pro or do any distribution and by doing it this way it gave me the ability to do what I wanted.
Then I ran into a dilemma. Not all blue ray disks are created equal and other disks have different security settings and as a result they will never play. A free trial of the above program was able to rip them and make them appear full quality however the file size of the ripped version is somewhat lower than what is on the disk. I cannot help thinking there is a loss of quality.
I am just wondering what options are available for ripping. I want to avoid disks spinning in my drive and would like to play from my hard drive straight to the TV. If anyone knows of programs that can decode their encryption or what is the best I am open to suggestions. For information WINXDVD Ripper does not work with Blue Ray. It has worked with all my older DVDs but will not decode Blue Ray. Just looking to enjoy those nights in at home with a good movie playing on my television and not using internet data.
