HomeWhich is the best way ripping Blu-ray to hard drive? Well, to figure this question out you have to learn the Blu-ray Disc structure first. Basically commercial Blu-ray Disc contains multiple titles authored with menu support are in the BDMV (Blu-ray Disc Movie) format and contain audio, video(.m2ts), and other streams in BDAV container, implemented with AACS, BD+ and region code protection. When copying a full Blu-ray structure to hard drive, you get menus, main movie, other titles (e.g. movie trailer and commercial), as well as multiple system files.
Almost all the HD media players can not handle the Blu-ray menus, but many of them (e.g Western digital media players) are capable of playing Blu-ray main movie, which is MPEG transport stream format m2ts file. When a Blu-ray main movie is cracked and copied to PC hard drive you can play the Blu-ray movie off with HD media player and watch movie on HDTV with HDMI cable. The following guide shows you how to copy Blu-ray main movie only to PC hard drive without changing anything.
