Blu Ray ripping and NMT or Jukebox

[Browncoat]

Not sure if this thread is in the right area..

I am thinking about moving into a HD lifestyle, and I dont know alot about any of it but after looking around the net i'm thinking I might get a HDTV and a NMT(Networked Media Tank) or Jukebox and a internal blu ray player in my PC. What I'm hoping to do is back up all Blu Ray titles I purchase by ripping them to the NMT or Jukebox and watching through that, thus saving my disks.

My questions are thus: Are BluRay disks able to be ripped for this type of scenario? What are they ripped as? H.264?

Does anyone have any experience with NMT or Jukebox hardware? I am looking at something like http://www.streetwise.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=6713&osCsid=ae9f3eea5e244ca7...2043339f1805d9

Will my normal DVDs play ok on a HDTV? would I run them through the NMT/Jukebox too?

You can rip blu-ray to h264(see our guides for blu-ray to mp4/mkv) or just rip the main movie (m2ts) that might work directly on the tvix. I would read http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=13486455

Thanks for the info and the link Baldrick. I'm not convinced this is the way to proceed now..
