Hello all,
I have been reading a bunch of posts here and they cleared up a bunch of things, but also confuses some others!
I use a NAS+MythTV box to store my movies (and TV, pics, etc...) for playback on 3 different front-ends in the house. For DVDs, I use AnyDVD, rip an exact copy. MythTV loves them. Never an issue.
Blu Rays are a different beast.
Some of you guys mention making a "protected .iso" to keep an exact copy, just in case.
I can then make an unprotected backup from it. I have no issue with that.
But, can I make a protected .iso with a "normal" Blu Ray reader? Not one of the special ones that can have the firmware modified? (I use an ASUS external drive)
Second, what is the preferred way to simply "copy the movie" portion of the disk?
Use AnyDVD and CloneBD to make a MKV Container?
Sometimes, I see tons of titles or strange scenes that look like part of the movie.
(I had some issues in the recent past where a movie was playing scenes out of order on MythTV's built-in player.)
Thanks!
Brian
