Hi,
I've been using AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 for about a year now. I have ripped hundreds of DVDs to place on my Home Theater PC. Works great, never have a problem.
Now that the war is over for high def I want to add BluRay to my HTPC. So, here are my questions...
Assume I upgrade AnyDVD to AnyDVD-HD.
1. If I just go to Fry's and pick up a BluRay player will my HTPC running Vista magically play BluRay disks? Or do I need drivers? My preferred method of playing movies is via "My Movies" within Media Center. Will this work for BluRay?
2. I think I'd prefer to rip BluRay movies to my hard disk. I have about 1.2 terabytes free. Is it safe to assume they'll consume about 40 gig each?
3. Will I be able to play these HD movies directly in My Movies once ripped? Or will I need a different player outside of Media Center?
4. Is BluRay completely cracked like DVDs? In other words can I be confident that I can rip/play any BluRay disk using AnyDVD-HD or will it be a hit and miss thing?
Thanks, in advance, for helping a loyal AnyDVD customer.
