How to back up Blu-ray and standard DVD movies to your hard drive
Until now, all my three TV cabinets have been full filled with a large number of DVD and Blu-ray discs. I believe it is time to digitize them and back up some of them to the hard drive of my PC, and others to a large capacity external hard drive, so as to manage all the movies in a tidy and orderly way.
I just did a simple search for a blu-ray ripper and reviews on Google, and found the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper. Almost every guide or website review either rated Pavtube as the No.1 ripper or as being highly recommended. I also read some user reviews from different websites that convinced me to download the trial version of this application. It worked perfectly on both standard DVD and Blu-ray conversion. Best of all, I was able to open, copy, and watch every Blu-ray movie, irrespectively whether the Blu-ray was bought in Japan, Europe, or USA. Share this utility here, and hope this helps.
You can free download Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper here.
