For our purposes, however, it’s just making a digital copy of a Blu-Ray movie that’s of interest, and that’s BD Ripper. Unless you have a program like Blu-Ray Ripper from Leawo Software.īD Ripper, as we’ll call it informally, is actually part of a much bigger software suite called Leawo Professional Media, a suite that lets you dupe Blu-Ray discs, rip DVDs and much more. I’m a firm believer in the right to view purchased movies on the device of my choice too, so if I own a Blu-Ray copy of, say, Blade Runner 2049 or Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, why should I be trapped having to watch it on my TV while at home if I’m heading out on a business or pleasure trip? Problem is, converting a physical copy of a movie into a digital copy that’s portable to whatever gear you own isn’t so easy. Fortunately, you can pick up an external Blu-Ray drive for surprisingly cheap, units like the Mac and Windows compatible Pioneer BDR-XS06. Which is rather weird since computer screens generally have far higher resolution screens than most non-4K televisions. Computer manufacturers seem to have decided that DVD movies are good enough for computer screens, and it’s not easy to find a laptop or desktop computer with a Blu-Ray player.
