It's really very simple....
Here is what I normally tell people in Support:
Regarding AnyDVD HD's capabilities and further handling of BluRay content:
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvdhd.html
You can rip the BluRay disc (BD) movie to your hard drive, but it cannot be burned or transcoded with CloneDVD.
CloneDVD is not sold as a BluRay product and will not be adapted for that either.
To rip the BD to your hard drive, right-click the fox icon in the task tray and choose "Rip Video DVD to HardDisk..."

Until we have a Clone product for BluRay, there is a full-disc backup method (provided the BD source fits onto a BD-R/RE) using some FREE software:
Download and install ImgBurn (
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/burning/imgburn.cfm or
http://www.imgburn.com - it's a free tool).
Then insert a BD and let AnyDVDHD scan it. Then open ImgBurn.
- Select "Mode" and then "read", then the "source" to "create image file from disc". ImgBurn will create an image of the BD on the hard drive.
- Then insert a blank BluRay disc
- Select the "write" mode "write image to blank disc".
To fit to a 25GB blank, see this Forum discussion:

OR:
With compression:
- AnyDVD HD ("rip video...." BDMV folder or "rip to image..." ISO image)
- BD Rebuilder (down to approximately 23.3 gb on a BD-R single layer)

- Imgburn
Without compression:
- AnyDVD HD (BDMV folder or ISO image)
- Clown_BD
http://www.clownbd.com/
- Imgburn
Your step by step instructions is hands on practice with these software programs.
And the internal settings for region, etc. are available as needed beyond the "default" portrait. Keep in mind that every option has an explaining balloon text on the right mouse click on that item.
Hope this helps. 8)
