Anyhddvd is what I use to break them down, what can I use to copy them? Also is it possible to compress 28 gb t0 25 gb?
This is a relatively simple process:
1) Rip the disc to your hard drive
2) Delete the certificate file that anydvd creates as well as all the other contents of the BDMV folder except the stream folder.
3) Copy and paste all files from the original disc to the BDMV folder. So what you end up with is the BDMV folder with everything else inside it.
4) Use Nero 7 or 8 burning rom program (or whatever blu ray burning program you have) to create a data disc. Make sure to set the UDF profile to 2.5.
That's it. However, to reduce the size of the folder to fit on a 25 gb disc you usually need to get rid of some files (previews for example). Make sure you don't delete something the disc will need to navigate.
You will find that this method isn't an option most of the time because the data won't fit on a 25gb disc, even after you delete some unneeded files. You can simply make a data disc using the main movie file, but all you have is the movie with no navigational abilities, subtitles, etc. This is not to mention that 25gb discs cost about $12 to buy (sometimes you can find them cheaper on ebay). I have used this process myself, but it is expensive. My best advice is stick with the original, use a home theatre PC, or buy a great media stremer like the Tvix 6500 which will be coming out in a couple of months. The PC and Tvix method allow you to play the files without any disc, so your original disc isn't worn down and you don't have to buy blank blu ray discs.

First, no, that doesn't work with BD+ discs. We need to wait for Slysoft to eradicate that crap from our lives. Playback of BD+ discs only works from hard drive right now.
Second, yea, I used to do that with DVD's back when they first came out and DVD media was prohibitively expensive. I'd burn them onto CDR's. Same idea. It does indeed work well.
There is the BDMV, Certificate, BDSVM, and AACS folders and then a zip file and an xml file.

Hello.
Just to confirm that the process of making the backup to HDD was a success after making a copy of all the necessary folders.
So, in the end i just kept from the AnyDVD backup the follwing folder, and deleted all the others:
BDMV
Then, i copied the follwoing from the original Blu Ray, DO NOT COPY BDMV and AACS:
BDSVM
CERTIFICATE
Then, just for fun, i made my first compilation of a Blu Ray disc (Sony brand) using one BD-R-DL 50Gb.
I used the new Nero 8, and compiled it using the option of a UDF disc v2.5
The result.... A perfect copy of my original disc with EVERYTHING! Now i can play the HD content in full, Video + Image.
This Fox DVD is the Portuguese version, and i can assure it works in full. No problems at all. Perfect picture.
I hope this helps anyone trying to do this.
This is NOT quite viable since the BD-R-DL are quite expensive so, for me, it was just despair! I have the original and still, cannot play it AT ALL!
Best regards.

Doing it that way will fill up even the largest drive real quick.
Hello SamuriHL,
What i say it's real and TRUE! Believe me...
I swear by my onw life! I know most people say it's not possible but with me it worked ok
Just one update, my configuration is:
PC: Intel Dual Core 2.4 with 4gb of RAM
Graphic card: nVidea 8800 GTS
Blu Ray: BRW 100A (with latest firmware)
AnyDVD: latest beta
I also could not believe it worked ok, but now my Power DVD Ultra, with the special patch version 3319a, can read the Blu Ray disc in FULL with everything. I'm talking about the backup on the BD-R-DL 50Gb, the original i still cannot play at all!
Just one problem...
With my backup disk I cannot access the menu with my mouse, only using Power DVD Ultra shortcuts AND the keyboard keys!
If you travel to Portugal i can show you, in orther to proove oit, that what i'm saying is true!
I just followed your tips and, by my own risk, burned a new compilation into my first and probably only BD-R-DL.
As i say, this is grate but it's not ok for most users. A BD-R-DL is VERY expensive, at least in Portugal.
I want to thank you SamuriHL for your excelent tips and you ALL for sharing info.
And offcourse to AnyDVD team for this excelent tool.
PLEASE NOTE, in my case i'm NOT doing any piracy, my backup disc is ONLY for my personal use.
Beest regards,

I am a little bit confused about one post I found in the forum. There somebody said that the XBOX360 HDDVD drive is just able to get a resolution of 1080i and the PS3 1080p. I know what the difference between the i and the p is. I thought if you rip a Bluray or a HDDVD to your harddrive and the material on the media is in 1080p it only depends on the graphics card and the screen how good the resolution on your Pc will be. I didn't thought that a drive can make the quality of a Movie worse?!Or am I mixing things up? Please could somebody help me and explain the things slowly to me?
