DVD and BluRay rip

yoke

Does anyone know how to rip these? I want to be able to load them on my pc and eventually onto a media server so I can stream movies to my TV. I have looked at some software but honestly it confuses me to know end. Does anyone know of good software that is user friendly? I will purchase software if need be but I know there is a lot of shareware stuff out there.

I use MakeMKV for both DVD and BD rips. It allows you to rip just what you want (video, audio tracks, sub titles). It's free while it's in beta, but it works incredibly well. It doesn't do any compression. If you want to add compression after ripping, you can use HandBrake.

From Wikipedia, if you aren't familiar with the MKV format:
The Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file.[1] It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. Matroska is similar in concept to other containers like AVI, MP4 or ASF, but is entirely open in specification, with implementations consisting mostly of open source software. Matroska file types are .MKV for video (with subtitles and audio), .MKA for audio-only files and .MKS for subtitles only.

thanks I will have to check that out. This is all new to me so the learning curve is what I think is going to be a problem.

I bought a program a few years ago called 1 Click. VERY easy to use and have never had problems with it. I'm sure it's out there for free now.
