How do I clone a Blu-Ray

[GRINCH]

the trouble, with the br menues, are that the structure is way more complicated, than on a ordinary dvd,if you managed to copy a bluray, you are ahead of the game mate....
the menu thingy, will not be solved for a while....

btw, most people stream their content now, as mediaplayers are becoming cheaper by the hour...

If you find a way to copy a blu ray with the menu, let me know.

If this isn't too late, you can use ImgBurn to burn BR discs. It is the descendent of the burning utility that used to come with DVD Decrypter, available here . . . http://www.imgburn.com

Just watch which "Download" link you click on as there's many links that download something else. Be sure you are downloading the ImgBurn program. I've used it for years for burning everything and it is superb.

Here you go mate, use img burn, it's a free download http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
disable anyDVD if you are using it. Insert your disk and select create image file from disc (you want full disc so you get all menus audio etc)
select where to store it and you're done
OR
use anyDVDHD to rip it to your hard drive , I usually do it as files as a full disc
then disable anyDVDHD and use imgburn to create an iso from those files
if your disc is 25 gig or less use imgburn to burn it to a 25 gig disc
if it's over that you can either just burn it to a 50 gig disc
OR
use BD ReBuilder to compress it down to 23 gig and burn it to a 25 gig disc

Personally as I've found some players don't like the compressed blu ray I do anything over 25 gig to a 50 gig disc with no compression.
But if you are playing on a PS3 I think compressed discs play fine, I think they might on most if not all sonys but my Panasonic doesn't like anything compressed to much, they get stuck on the menu.
50gig discs are pretty cheap to buy directly from Japan so I just grab 10 of them every 4 or 5 months.
All to back up my purchased blu ray collection.

Hope this helps.

Awesome, thanks Nightrider. I will give it a shot!

I haven't done any BR discs but I've done over 800 DVD's. If you disable AnyDVD anytime you're trying to read the disc you'll get an error. AnyDVD makes the disc "look like" it has no copy protection so programs like ImgBurn can read it. Once the disc is ripped or copied you can disable AnyDVD.

[Nightrider]

you only disable anyDVD when using image burn to make your iso or burn your disc, image burn and anyDVD don't like each other to much.
But if you rip your disc originally using anyDVD you have already removed the protection so it's not needed for making the iso or the burn.
Probably could have been a little clearer before, sorry about that.
