I used to use AnyDVD and CloneDVD to copy my purchased DVD's to blank DVDs as backups. Now, we finally have a Blu-Ray player with Wifi built-in. I'd like to start backing up future blu-rays that I might purchase
I'm wondering if just ripping them to a large external drive would work just as well as buying a burner and blank Blu-ray discs. I see that Slysoft has AnyDVD HD which I can use to get throught the protection. But, I don't see a simple program for copying, like CloneDVD did. Especially for copying to the 25GB DVDs, which seem to be much cheaper.
If I rip to the hard drive, would I be able to stream at an effective speed, to my Blu-ray player? I have Serviio console which makes it possible to stream from this external hard drive, I've already tested with an avi file. I just don't know if normal home WiFi Wireless N is fast enough to stream from a Blu-ray source. I guess it is because I can get Netflix streaming with HD.
Just would love to hear thoughts and suggestions on whether this is a good or bad idea, and any suggestions for better ideas.
Thanks!

I'd like to start "archiving" from future Blu-rays that I might rent.
LOL!! -
Of course has the user changed his mind. Rent and rip is not okey. So we can skip that discussion.
You can rip with anydvdhd and burn with imgburn. But many blu-rays are bigger than 25gb.
And streaming might be a problem because the blu-ray bitrate is MUCH higher than any netflix hd. It's up to around 40Mbit/s. -
Yes, I've had a change of heart.
So, if I ripped from MakeMKV to an external hard drive in .mkv format , I would still have to find a way to compress in order to get it to stream from a DLNA server correctly?
If that's the case, what would be the simplest software that could make this possible? Will anydvdhd do this? I used MakeMKV for a DVD last night, just to test the streaming from my hard drive, and it worked great, but there is no way to compress. It only took 30 minutes, which I thought was decent.
Thanks again. -

I might be wrong but that is my understanding of dlna.
you can use ripbot264 or megui to conver the bluray after its ripped. Handbrake will also do the job - but just be sure to convert to ac3 audio so it will work with the most devices.
Again I may be wrong but that is my suggestion for doing dlna.
Unless you transcode with something like tversity or playon. Than it would take the original video and transcode it to meet the playback requirements of the target device without reencoding the original file first.Donatello - The Shredder?

A blu-ray will take some hours to shrink. If you want to keep it as 1920x1080. Try and see!

@tommyd17 - I see - serviio has transcoding capabilities. I'd look into that. You should able to just rip the disc without converting and let the software do the transcoding so it can talk to your receiving device. I'm not sure if you have to the pro version or not to do that.
