"I am looking for a Blu-ray ripper with which I could convert my Blu-ray movies to digital formats to be used on my numerous devices. I did an internet search for Blu-ray rippers but I am confused. I'd like to watch copied movies on my Desktop connected to my TV, my MacBook Air. I plan to store my ripped movies on my desktop, and then transfer to my 1 TB external hard drive, therefore I can use them for personal enjoyment and movie nights!"
