Hey peeps, what software do you use for backing up your BD DVDs?
I've a mate who's a Windows user (hence me posting this here) and he only buys films on Blu-Ray.
He's looking for a way that he can watch the films on his laptop without taking the physical media and a portable drive with him when he's away from home.

He should be aware that although ripping a disk might only take about half an hour, it could take many hours to do the re-encoding to shrink the files to something sensible. Obviously a more power computer is faster, but if he has an extensive collection it will still take a very long time.
