How to Rip/Copy Blu-ray to MKV

If you have rented some Blu-ray movies from Netflix or Redbox and want to copy/rip blu-ray to MKV for more convenient playback in the future or preservation, just take a look at this article. This article includes two parts:

Part one How to Backup Blu-ray Movie to Lossless MKV

Part two How to Convert Blu-ray Movie to MKV

What you need:

Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper
Blu-ray Disc drive
Hard drive with no less than 30GB storage space

Why need Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper? First, Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is a newly released blu-ray tool, which combines features of backing up blu-ray to lossless MKV and converting blu-ray to compressed MKV with high quality. Second, the Blu-ray Ripper is optimized for the 2nd generation Intel Core Processors and boosted with the latest NVIDIA CUDA & AMD Technologies, making blu-ray backup and converting with super fast speed.

Why need a hard drive with no less than 30GB storage space? Normally, a blu-ray movie is more than 20 GB in size. To ensure you can copy the entire movie, you need the space. Of course, it is another matter if you choose to preserve the blu-ray content by title.

Download and install the bluray to MKV Converter, then run it.

    This says "lossless" but doesn't touch on audio in your article. So far I've only found one ripper tool that does lossless audio (DTS Master, etc.) and it isn't Aimersoft. Your screenshot only shows AC3 audio, which would support lossy Dolby Digital, but not lossless audio. Did you just miss posting the audio screenshot, or is this something coming in a future release? I am looking for a single program to back up my own Blu-rays & DVDs for playing on my 7.1 Home Theater on 100" Projection screen with MKV files. The physical space requirements for storing 200+ physical discs in my theater are eliminated this way, as is the inevitable destruction of physical media simply because we have two small kids in the house. That said, I want all the quality I paid for in the video and the audio tracks. I have a NAS with lots of space, so compression isn't an issue and my receiver handles the audio processing, so straight pass-through from the NAS storage and out to my Popcorn Hour A-400 streamer is all that's needed for audio as my AVR will then decode the 7.1 channels, etc. Will Aimersoft do this? Or just ByteCopy? I do not care about compression -original file size is fine (somewhat less once you drop the non-HD audio tracks and all but forced-subtitles.)

    This is no piracy. This is backup for later use.
