I was surprised that there aren't any guides for this software on the developer's software guides page.

As usual the installation and activation is going very smoothly,thumbs up for that,at least!

Can I copy a Blu-Ray Movie to a Blu-Ray Disc with a standard DVD writer

and then play the copied one in a stand alone Sony Blu-Ray player?

Seems like might be good program, but don't own any blue
ray movies! I pretty nuch get all my movies per cable
or internet! I guess I could google this question, but
does anyone get blueray movies off the internet -
which would possibly make this a useful tool! I have
Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper from gotd 08 20 2010 which
has a blue ray player but have never used it! Maybe dumb
question, but if it's not downloadable off internet, i.e.
blueray movies -niche market!

Registration code is in the readme file ...

17.@Yosemite #10 ... has a typo ... This is version 6.3.10. It cleanly installed over my version 6.3.6. Thanks GOTD.

I'm not interested in today's software but wish to give kudos to #21 "mike."

Much praise is heaped upon Giovanni for his informative freeware alternatives -- and his insight is one reason I visit this site every day.

Re mike, his analysis goes beyond a review. His comments are truly in-depth, educational and also another reason why I check-in daily.

If I may, mike, two questions:
1. What's your profession? Your technical knowledge is clearly apparent, but your writing/presentation skill is also superb!

2. Do you have your own website where you dish out similar pearls-of-wisdom?

Ok, one more... Where do you find the time? :)

I also tried one. I have Sammy's Adventure I bought from the UK in 3D (you cannot get it in 3D in the States, and everyone raves about it as far as 3D movies go). I wanted to have it read on my Region A player. The region code was removed with this software, but I was only able to watch previews and get to the main menu. Once I made a selection, the movie froze. The file size also seemed smaller than the original. I used AnyDVD HD and it had no problems at all. Must be something with the encoding. I didn't try ripping to just a folder, though.

VideoLan VLC Player 2.0.3

vlc doesn't actually play blu rays. You need to modify some stuff to get it working...and even then it's not 100%.

You need to buy yourself seperate software to view blu rays.

The reason why blu ray software is not free is due to licensing of the keys for the software to decrypt the blu ray drive's encryption.

Will this software work without a copy-protection remover program (such as AnyDVDHD)? Or is it standalone?

It looks the same as the old v6.3.36. Even its updater said no new updates. I wonder what is changed in b37?

no password sent to this email address.

Downloaded and installed without a problem.
Opened and registered wihtout a problem.
Tried to copy a couple of different BD's without success.
After a disc was loaded the system stopped and wouldn't allow any activity, couldn't even turn it off. Tried a reboot and restart of the application with same results. Movies tried: The Avengers, Top Gun, Reign of Fire. The application seemed to freeze after loading the disc. Uninstalled.

Win7 Pro x64:
Every time I try this with a 25 GB BD-RE or BD-R in my blu-ray burner, I get a "not enough room on disk" error and the disk is ejected. There's far more than enough room on the hard drive for temp files.

I've tried movie-only, disabling high-def audio and selecting only one audio track but it never works.
It says the 29 GB movie will be compressed to 78%.

I have to give it thumbs down. My searching for answers on the Aiseesoft site and elsewhere shows nothing.
By the way, my drive burns BD disks just fine using other software.

how does it deal with cinavia disks?

A quick reminder, when installed in XP Aieseesoft Blu-Ray apps normally install a driver so XP will recognize & read Blu-Ray format discs [i.e. UDF 2.5].

Retail Blu-Ray movie discs are usually over the 25 GB limit of the cheaper, single layer blank discs most people buy, though dual layer blanks with a 50 GB capacity are getting cheaper [are Much cheaper than they were a few years ago]. If you're backing up the Blu-Ray movies you've bought, that means you might have to re-encode the movie. You'll find apps over at videohelp.com, like the free BD Rebuilder to make it easier, along with the free multiAVCHD, which is a great way to put audio/video/optionally subs into a Blu-Ray layout you can test & burn [multiAVCHD has lot of other, useful features, but that's what it's mainly known for IMHO]. Note that most all retail Blu-Ray discs use Java for menus & extra features -- unless you make a 1:1 backup copy you'll generally lose those, although some movie discs come with a simpler, DVD type menu as well. While there is an open source project for creating the Java menus etc., if you're not a Java coder pretty much forget about it as the specialized software for Blu-Ray can cost thousands of dollars. That said, an awful lot of DVD authoring software can also create Blu-Ray movie discs that use the simpler DVD-type menus -- however some of them [e.g. Nero] charge extra for HD &/or Blu-Ray capabilities. Note that if you use a Sony Blu-Ray player or PS3 to watch your Blu-Ray movies you should also check out [research] Cinavia, which is a method of DRM enforced for example by the PS3 itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia

#5: "Does this software enable BlueRay films to be played on notebooks/PCs not built to play BlueRay films with the copies?"

There's nothing that special about Blu-Ray movie discs -- to play them on a PC/laptop all you need is a Blu-Ray player and either a Blu-Ray drive or Blu-Ray content that's been copied to a hard drive or other storage, e.g. a USB stick or DVD. In XP only -- if you're reading the content from a Blu-Ray or DVD disc with Blu-Ray format you'll also need to update XP so it recognizes & reads that disc format. Software Blu-Ray players like Nero's &/or Power DVD will show the menus & extras, while there are several cheaper, sometimes free players that will just handle playing the movie itself -- some of those are capable of bypassing the DRM on a retail movie disc. Note that some players, notably PowerDVD, will not play Blu-Ray on a hard drive etc., so research before you buy if you're going to buy.

That said, HD video playback takes a bit of horsepower, especially the AVC & VC1 formats normally used on retail Blu-Ray movie discs. Usually that muscle's provided by the graphics hardware. Unless you know you've got a decent video card in your PC, it can't hurt to check a PC's/laptop's capabilities by finding & trying to play 1080p AVC video before you spend time &/or money setting things up. That's not to say all hope is lost if your hardware doesn't do well with full rez Blu-Ray video -- you can probably re-encode the video to a smaller frame size [e.g. 720p or 1440x1080] using either AVC/H.264 or the easier to play, faster to encode Blu-Ray mpg2 [it is part of the spec]... you can even burn it to a Blu-Ray format DVD, which is also part of the spec.

#13: " If you have a blu-ray player and/or recorder you will need a blu-ray software such as VLC Media Player (free) to play the blu-ray movies."

VLC's great -- please don't get me wrong -- but FWIW it's not my 1st choice for a Blu-Ray player... it can work with Blu-Rays, but in my experience is not close to ideal. There are free alternatives at videohelp.com or wait until they offer another one on GOTD, or if you want menus & such Nero's player works, & if you have an OEM version or otherwise qualify for their upgrade, their Platinum suite has often been on sale in the US for $35 outright or $0 after MIR.

#15: "I just hope the shrinking encoding quality is good."

It all depends on your standards. :)

Most free & low cost software [& some higher priced stuff] uses the excellent x264 AVC/H.264 encoder, which is also built into the ffmpeg Aiseesoft uses. X264 has a range of quality settings from "ultrafast" to "placebo" [the faster you go the lower the quality], & can optionally perform more than one encoding pass. But as you can see here: http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings , it's really impractical for Aieseesoft to include every possible setting in their apps -- I think most people's eyes would start to glaze over by the time they made it 1/4 of the way through. So Aiseesoft like most other developers handles most of this stuff for you, using settings that most people will like, but not everyone -- there are people who use the slowest settings, & feel it's worth it... if you're one of them you'll probably be happier using X264 from the command line or with one of the simpler GUIs that allow you to make every individual setting.

To those asking if it copies other than Blu-ray. Can you get any lazier?
I found that information in less than 45 seconds. Try clicking on their link and reading.

Support Input File Formats
Blu-ray Blu-ray disc, Blu-ray folder

It probably took you longer to type in the question that it would have to look it up yourself.

Will this also copy non-blue ray dvds?

Can someone who has loaded this or Aiseesoft please tell us the version being given away today and whether or not it also copies DVD/CDs

@Yosemite #10...This is version 6.2.10. I had installed the previous version 6.3.6 and this download installed cleanly right over it with no problem on Win7/64bit. I have made backup copies with the previous version with no problem. I does take many hours to do the burning, though. Just start it before retiring for bed. It is great that this shrinks from a BD50 to a BD25.

version is 6.3.10

Thanks GOTD+Aiseesoft.
The ability to shrink DL/XL discs into normal 25gb disc is very nice.
I just hope the shrinking encoding quality is good.

Is this a rerun? Is this version 6.3.6 or what version?

I have 6.3.6 from GOTD installed since 2012-11-05 (compiled 2012-11-02).

- Please always inform about the version number on the GOTD web page !

Can the program also copy non blueray DVD (= ordinary DVD) (and CD?) using a non blueray DVD burner?

#5, You need to have a the hardware on your laptop to play a blu-ray movie. Won't work if all you have is a cd/dvd player and/or recorder. If you have a blu-ray player and/or recorder you will need a blu-ray software such as VLC Media Player (free) to play the blu-ray movies.

@2
Very insightfull, thanks.

I think the "check for updates" check box is broken - I checked the System Registry and Updates is now set to "False", consistant with their other products when I turn off updates... and you can see that if you turn updating off, it greys out the "everyday/everyweek/everymonth" option and the option is not active.

My best guess is if you get the "everyday/everyweek/everymonth" to grey out properly by unchecking the box, it won't try to update.

This is consistant with their other products - so I think the check box indicator is broken, but you CAN turn the updates off.

What Version is this PLEASE?

I am getting an error when I enter the name and key. It is telling me the key has expired. Anyone else have this problem?

@Robert (5)
Thanks for your support. Aiseesoft Blu-ray Copy cannot play Blu-ray films.You need Blu-ray Player to play them.

GO TO > TOOLS > PREFERENCE
and UN-CHECK "Check for updates automatically".

Since updates are not included, this would probably nullify your software the next time an update comes along.

I use to rant at these deals that had the auto-update thing, but Aiseesoft is awesome, and I just don't have the motivation to keep complaining each time an Auto-Update Install comes along. They don't seem willing to change it.

I was excited to see if I could customize the skin, but even though the setting is there, there is only one skin.

Aiseesoft gives us reliable software, and for those who have been here awhile, we already have a bunch of Aiseesoft disk-burning related products in our systems.

Program works fine in Win7/64bit

Thanks again, Aiseesoft, and GaotD

#2 pele,
Thanks pele, after your 'pros and cons' I know just as much as I did after reading the software description. Thanks again for paraphrasing it, lol ;)

@ Aiseesoft Studio:

Does this software enable BlueRay films to be played on notebooks/PCs not built to play BlueRay films with the copies?

Specifically on WIN 8 64 Bit and WIN 7 64 bit OS?

Thanks.

After successful installation registered nicely but when I try to unchecked "Check for update Automatically" in Tools>General menu- Nothing happened because it is again checked when I open the same menu.

Download and install on my computer easily and active it without providing my email address to the vendor. I love this.

Now I don't have time to test it because I think the process will be hours as most of the Blu-ray copy software will take.

Pros:
1. Free for today. my favorite
2. Allow users to choose main movie and full disc
3. Support most of the latest Blu-ray disc as the official website described
4. Clear and easy-to-use interface
5. Support Windows 8(I just install it on my windows 8 desktop, I can active it easily)
6. Support 3D Blu-ray Movies(did not test)

Cons:
1. Not enough languages supported
2. No more because I have not tested it yet.

All in all, it is a nice software provided today for free. I will keep it once I need backup my Blu-ray Movies.
Thank you GOTD and Aiseesoft
