Think about Blu-Ray as an advanced version of a DVD disc. Blu-Ray optical discs are used to store large amounts of data, which is suitable for high-definition video and high-density data. It's the next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by a group of computer and consumer electronics companies, called the Blu-Ray Disc Association (BDA).
With the advent to Blu-Ray movies, you may want a solution that will rip them to your hard drive and even back them up onto multiple DVD discs without losing that High Definition quality.
I recommend DVD Cloner Version 6. It is the latest and most reliable DVD/Blu-ray copying software available online.
What I like most about it is that it is easy to use. It can create 1:1 copies of your regular DVD movies (DVD5 and DVD9); it can also burn/copy Blu-Ray and HD movies to your hard drive and you can watch the movie directly from your hard drive using PowerDVD or WinDVD.
