Is there a reason why someone can not use AnyDVD HD to burn the 3d movie iso then use Imgburn to create to D/L Blu ray? That is how I do it for my 2D movies.
Thanks but I am not completely clear on this yet. You can right click on the ANYDVD HD icon then click on 'Rip to Image' which creates an iso. Does this not work properly for 3D movies?
It seems you may be confused as to the difference between ISO & hard-disk rips, especially by how Adbear described the way the competition works.
From his description, their default "ISO" rip apparently rips to hard disk and then builds a new ISO from that (two separate steps using AnyDVD & ImgBurn); that's not a
true ISO rip. Hard-disk rips don't detect BD3D's filesystem-level "virtual" second-eye links (similar to FAT crosslinked clusters, though not a perfect analogy); they simply re-copy the content those links point to. That's what causes most BD3D hard-disk rips, or any ISOs created from them, to go over the 50GB limit; the crosslinked data exists only
once on the original BD3D, but at least
twice in the hard-disk rip or anything created from it.
A
true ISO rip, as performed by both the AnyDVD ripper and ImgBurn (and apparently as a "sector-by-sector" ISO rip by the competition), copies the disc's
complete low-level structure--
including the second-eye links--directly to the .iso file, thus preserving those links and the original disc size. Likewise, ImgBurn copies that low-level structure--again, including the links--from the ISO directly to a dual-layer BD-R/RE, so the links and original disc size are preserved; the crosslinked data appears
only once in a true ISO rip or any BDs burned directly from it, just like the original BD3D.
Thus, burning from a
true ISO rip of a BD3D, i.e., one created directly from the original by the AnyDVD ripper or ImgBurn, is OK; but burns generated from hard-disk rips of BD3Ds (apparently including the competition's default "ISO" rip) will almost always fail.
