Hi
I want to copy my blu-ray and dvd movies to the hard drive on my laptop computer; and be able to play them back at a later time without dragging the external blu-ray player around with me.
I understand that I need to 'rip' the movies, but there seems to be so many formats that I have no idea what to use/do
For playback, there are notes on the web that Cyberlink Power DVD copies and distributes too much personal data (which I don't like), so I am looking for an alternate player.
Any suggestions on tools for ripping, what formats to use, tools for playback on Windows 10 would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

A "rip" is an exact copy of the disc.
VLC media player will play anything you can throw at it. -
MakeMKV is free for Blu-ray ripping while in beta, but if you like MakeMKV well enough to use it long-term, consider buying it to encourage continuing development. If the current version asks for a key, that may be obtained here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053 Use MakeMKV's "Save selected titles" feature to copy the main movie to MKV format, which is playable with VLC, MPC-HC, or PotPlayer. PotPlayer is my favorite, but I also use the other two.
If you want to have full Blu-ray menu support, then use MakeMKV's Backup feature to copy all the files and folders on the disc to your HDD. (The Backup feature is not available for DVD.) A licensed player like PowerDVD Ultra or Corel WinDVD Pro is still the best choice for full menu support.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord, Snoopy329 -
It's well worth buying the license for MakeMKV just in case in certain litigious jurisdictions attempt to close it down. Excellent program and simple to use.

And welcome to our forums. -
To clarify, if you play a DVD on VLC, there's a "record" button on the player that will begin storing the playback on your hard drive (in a designated location) in the same format the video was already in. (For example, on a DVD, it'll store as an .mpg.)
I've found it doesn't always work. Sometimes the recording just won't store properly, with segments all disjointed. Often (over the last year or two), it produces a stored file that shows no video. Only the audio will play. That file, tho', if run thru AVIdemux, will come out in a form that once again has the audio and video and will play normally. A "lumpy" two-step process, granted, but still do-able. (It also gives you the option of converting the video to an .mp4 in the process, tho', which certainly is a plus.)
