I purchased the lifetime version of the Blu-Ray ripper (@ $39.95) and it wouldn't work. It also had descriptive dialog on playback of what little it did rip. Purchased this August 8, 2021 and emailed support about the issue and they said the needed the log file which I sent. Technician said he would turn it over to the developer. I haven't heard ANYTHING back and it is now September 10, 2021. I can't help but think I've been "ripped off" by Thundersoft and, obviously, will NEVER buy anything from them again!

After trying this on a few blu-rays, I've found full length movies don't get ripped in entirety. They get cut off around 1 hour and 30 minutes. Tested with another blu-ray ripper and confirmed it's not my discs but the program itself.

does it handle 3D Blu-rays?

As with previous offers, this one says in the description that it "can rip any Blu-Ray/DVD". Previously I wanted to try it on my laptop which has a DVD but not a Blu-Ray. At the time I found out after installing that it did NOT work for DVDs, only Blu-Rays. I suspect that this version is the same; I wish they would correct the verbage. Going to the mfr website, it mentions Blu-Rays only, no mention of DVD. So beware...however, I have not tried this latest version since I don't want to waste my time again, but I did want to warn others. They need to have the verbage agree on this site and their website. And if it doesn't do DVDs, then please don't say that it does.

Like a previous comment, it's not a fan of 4K displays. My laptop has a 4K display and it was very tiny, however my extended display is not 4K so it's a normal size on here. I was able to rip 2 blu-rays with no issues. There are options on different formats, resolutions, etc.. It is lacking in output information. Other dvd rippers I've used will show my output file size with different formats/settings. The software appears pretty basic with minimal buttons and graphics but you don't need extra bells and whistles to do a job.

Handy program for ripping blu-ray discs for use on the Plex server. Could benefit from a few more options in settings for audio and video bit rate, but overall very useful.

Does this program by-pass DRM and disk copy protection methods so we can make a legal backup copy of commercial Blu-Ray discs we have purchased? I so, which protection methods can it negate?

I don't need anything like that, about 500 movies, I even have one of the 2021. Why would I still use an optical disk and DVDs if not Blu-ray. A memory stick with a movie or soap in the Smart Flat screen screen and then play.

Downloaded, try to registre, failed...?
I copy my email, copy the Key file in my readme...fail...
I dont want to spend more time on this...out

It's not a fan of 4k displays, so I needed to set the High DPI Compatibility mode - I went with System(enhanced) - to get it looking reasonable (see below). Surprising for a 2021 program (perhaps as it uses 2017 vintage v5.6 Qt libraries for the user interface, I think 5.15 is current, well if you're not using v6 that is).

Also the menu is the 4th icon in from the top right, a down arrow.

P.S. How to set high DPI compatibility...
Right-click the application's icon
Choose "Properties"
Select the "Compatibility" tab
At the bottom click "Change High DPI Settings"
Tick "Override high DPI scaling behaviour"
In the drop-down select "System (Enhanced)" (if this has problems then change to "System")
Click "OK"
P.S. note this won't change an already running program

Does this work with Cinavia protection ?

I don't have Blu-ray DVDs, no blu-ray players (burners) and I don't like to buy something like that.
With regard to the successor to Blu-Ray, there is only outdated information on the internet.
