Media Center can copy the files from the VIDEO_TS directory of an unencrypted Blu-ray disc so they can be played from a hard disk. You can rip Blu-Ray using Action Window > Rip Disc inside the program. If you have more than one optical drive, you can rip multiple discs at the same time.

Once you press "Rip":

  • MC will give the the opportunity to change the Title as the one automatically read from DVD may not be that user friendly.
  • MC will commence copying the DVD Folder Structure from the DVD to your HDD. This may take up around 40 minutes per disc (as most discs are approximately 8GB in size).
  • The Get Movie & TV Info dialog will appear and allow you to search using the Title on line databases for Movie Info and Cover-art. If it doesn't find the "correct" movie, just modify this title in the search box. Once you have selected the best option press "Use This Data" and the MC Database will be populated.
