Free Blu ray ripping software

Im looking for some free software that I can run on Windows 7 that will allow me to rip my blu ray movies. I'd like to save them on a SD card and play them on my Asus Transformer.

Any suggestions?

 

Makemkv is free during beta (which is hopefully a long time). Use that in conjunction with handbrake if you want to transcode.

Makemkv will take the 20-30 GB (or more) video from the blu ray and pack it into an mkv container. If you want it to be smaller, transcode with handbrake. There are lots of options for handbrake and a large and helpful community and wiki.

 

Since VLC 2.0 is supposed to support blu-ray, is there any chance that handbrake would work? IIRC handbrake requires the decode capability of VLC.

 

I'm interested in this too. I'd even pay for it. But sadly the blu-ray player I have, doesn' seem to want to play my copied blu-rays. Only copied one blu-ray, and it didn't seem to work. Even though my blu-ray player says it will play burned blu-rays. Software updates don't help either. (Sony BDE-E780W)

 

first, DVD decryption for handbrake with VLC only worked in OS X, not windows.

VLC 2.0 broke that, so now you need to get the decryption library manually (not that hard, but as of right now VLC doesn't do anything for handbrake)

VLC 2.0 supports playing videos from the blu-ray file structure, but doesn't include any type of decryption or interoperability with handbrake, which would depend on decryption for normal bluray movies.

Handbrake also supports the bluray file structure afaik, but has the same limitations (no support for decryption, which is necessary for blu ray movies).

If you want to rip the bluray directly from handbrake without having a large intermediary file stored on your hard drive, you can use anydvd hd / dvdfab (both cost money). These programs can decrypt your blurays on the fly and make it easy for an application like handbrake to rip them.
