Hi All,

I want to start converting my blurays to a NAs drive to access them via XBMC.

Can you suggest an internal blue ray player for PC that will allow me to convert them ?

Also, I have purchased Pavtube a few months ago and want to know which format I should choose to convert my bluerays into...

Thanks

Hi Samsong,

After doing a ton of searching the best I found in my opinion is AnyDVDHD, and ripping to an ISO. Now this won't allow you to break out all the extras into individual files, or change compression to save space. If that's what your looking to do then I'd go with MAKEMKV. It will allow you to export individual files and select language tracks. However it won't change compression. I think AnyDVDHD may do that. However my goal was sheer archiving in a non-proprietary format. I've ripped my 700 DVDs into ISO's and 150 BluRay's as well. To me this is the ideal archival method.

If you want to keep all original blu-ray contents, ISO is the best. If you want to save space, MKV is preferred...
