Okay, so I just wanted to get this clear. When backing up a Blu-Ray disc with Anydvd HD, can you just burn it to a disc, or do you need a separate program to do that? I know that they have like the 1080p or 720p file online, but I want to just make an exact copy (i.e. all the Resolutions, Menus, etc.). So will that work, or is something else required? Thanks!
When you rip using AnyDVD-HD you can rip to the following formats; Blu-ray structure (BDMV and Certificate folders), or an ISO image. Provided you have blank discs that can fit up to 45GB (22.5GB for single layer BDs) you can burn those with a different burning app, like IMGBurn or Nero Burning ROM. You must also burn to the UDF2.5 file system, which any current burning app supports, and BD players need. Some movies on dual layer BDs actually only consume less than what a single layer can hold (main movie only), it's the features and additional audio tracks that push the disc over the single layer threshold. tsMuxeR can remux the movie to Blu-ray format so you don't neccesarily need a 50GB disc for a movie that could potentially take up only 20GB of space. AnyDVD cannot actually burn, it's just a decrypter/ripper.
If you use Anydvd and rip as an .Iso, will that make an exact copy and have the Certificate folders in there? For the ones that want a 1 to 1 back-up, do we just do this 1. rip to .Iso with anydvd 2. burn with Imgburn with UDF2.5 Is that it?
You can do it that way, but unneccesary. A straight rip will create the BDMV and Certificate folders, burn both of those to the UDF2.5 type and you'll still get a 1:1 exact copy.
Are you meaning only use imgburn? Or are you meaning rip to hard-drive (not Iso) and then add files to Imgburn? I wish someone would make a step-by-step for 1:1 (with pics)for people like me that need someone to spell it out for us.
OK, so I found this guide for Anydvd. But, is it better to rip to HardDrive or create an .Iso, or does it matter at all? http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1...ripping_guide_hdcp_free_hd_content/index.html
Thanks guys, I just have a few more questions. You really answered my questions but I have a few more. What is better for blu, Ripping to HD or ripping to .Iso in AnyDVD HD? Do I need to Prohibited User Operations Disable BD-Live Remove Blu-ray region code The question I have most is what is better for 1:1, (.Iso or rip to HD)
I am kind of confused about this too. It seems there are 20 threads about all of the info you need to know about ripping and burning blu-ray, but you have to go to all these separate pages to find all of the info. Can't someone just post a thread like this: 1. Insert movie into Blu-Ray burner 2. Rip movie with (?) 3. Burn movie with (?) without menus that can fit on a 25gb disc. I have scrapped out a few discs already thinking I have all of the right software and yet I keep making coasters..
