Why get blu-ray if you want to down-convert it? Why not just burn DVD quality to a single sided DVD and use a upconverting player? If you want to downgrade a blu-ray disk, you don't have a blu-ray player so again, why do you have blu-ray movies?
I would like to be able to do it so I could take my Blu-Ray movies and make a DVD copy to use in my truck (I wish Kenwood would just make an in dash Blu-Ray player so I could replace mine).
come on, at least grant users the dvd burning feature...
What's the best/easiest ripping software to make backup copies of Bluray movies I already own? Thanks in advance.
Not sure about best/easiest but I believe DVDFab Decrypter will rip it and it's free. I use it but don't have/do blewray so YMMV.
AnyDVD is probably the best but isn't free. There is a free trial period. Virtual Clone Drive is free and a must have for viewing .iso on your pc.
Got this drive for $52 last july. Works perfect. Already had a DVD writer.
Is it possible to rip blu-ray to DVD DL?
#5, sure if you have a 40 minute movie.
#6, but you can down-convert the quality to standard DVD and make it fit, right?
