AnyDVD BlueRay Rip - What Can I do with it

[SCDVD]

After ripping a BR or BR+ disc with AnyDVD to my hard disc, what can I do with it? If I had a BlueRay burner, are there any tools to copy the video to a BR disc? If so, will it be a complete copy with functional menus or just the video itself? Can I shrink it and convert it to a standard DVD disc?

The lack of response to this question actually is the answer. There isn't a simple way to do this - yet. There are awkward ways to extract the main movie and redo the audio and then create a movie-only video in XVID or other format but that apparently is about it for now.

This lack of simple and easy ways to backup a complete BlueRay disc that is complete with menus etc. represents a big opportunity for a company like Sly Fox. At the end of the day, it would be great if the process was as simple to do as it is with DVD discs now.

I recognize this is a huge task for a software developer to accomplish. While there were two different HD formats, it didn't make sense to apply the level of effort required to do this on two different formats. I hope we will see something later this year that will provide a more straightforward way to handle BlueRay backup.

Nero.

I assume you are referring to Nero 8. How much of the process can Nero do? Is it possible to burn a complete BlueRay backup by opening a copy on the hard disc that has been ripped by Any DVD HD?

[rhegedus]

Yes.

You can use Nero and IMGBurn to burn the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders as UDF 2.50

Thanks, I will try it out in the next week or so and see how it goes. I will probably step in a few "piles" as I go but that's how to learn.
