Yes, well Blu-Rays are a lot bigger than DVDs but not that much faster. 1x for Blu-Ray is defined as 4.29 MB/s (about three times faster than a DVD).Well I decided to just buy PowerDVD11 to play back th blurays.
Just ripping StarTrek (2009).....Ripping speed seems rather low (around 10 - 13MB's) This is going to take alot longer than ripping my DVD's

I literally believe you but how long does it take to run through handbrake? I'm guessing a good deal of time. How much space are you saving at setting of 22, percentage wise. A typical Blu-Ray is around 48GB(though some are much less)
I'm guessing the time and effort isn't worth the value of the HDD space to me given how ridiculously cheap storage is. Those brand new cutting edge 4TB drives are $320.
JMD,
An uncompressed rip in IMGburn for a 48GB disc takes me about an hour.

That is the speed I was getting as well. It isn't too bad if you are doing something else at the same time.Just ripping StarTrek (2009).....Ripping speed seems rather low (around 10 - 13MB's) This is going to take alot longer than ripping my DVD's
Compressing the video took around an hour per bluray movie and half that for a DVD using the system in my signature. I even have 14 TB of space on my server and I compress videos. No use in wasting the space I have. Depending on the movie, the end file can be 2-10 GB in size. Cell shaded movies (like Disney ones) compress down to 2 GB or so and ones with a lot of action (Avatar, for example) are on the high end.

Wow that is some pretty crazy compression numbers. Definitely lower than I thought. I'll have to give it a shot, thanks!

And how's PowerDVD11 going? Can you play ALL your Blu-rays?
I downloaded PowerDVD11 and ArcSoft TMT a long time ago to try the Blu-ray playback function and they didn't work for me. Had some problems playing some BD discs (I think they were from Warner, because of somekind of DRM).

Txus I've had great luck with AnyDVD and PowerDVD10. I remember True Blood being a problem and then a week later a new version of AnyDVD came out and I was fine.

VLC player will play .ISO no problem. No need to mount a virtual drive etc...
I have my external RAID storage connected to my computer via eSATA and to a Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player via USB2.0 which is connected to my Denon reciever through HDMI which is also connected to my TV through HDMI.
The Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player has a ton of functionality and will play a lot of formats including .ISO.

Gone through around 15 discs and PowerDVD has played them just fine.
I am just having problems with Handbrake
When I go to select the input file the program will just stop responding 
I am going to rip all of my films then try to use mediacoder instead.

I am trying to use the Windows version on Win7 Ultimate x64. As soon as I go into the folder where the blurays are ripped when trying to import the video files into handbrake it just stops responding.
I am currently away from home but I will RDP into my machine and try mediacoder when I get a chance. If that does not work I will set up an Ubuntu VM and try handbrake on that.
EDIT: Havn't tried playing the file with VLC, but WMP plays them fine.

Cheers Thid, trying that now.
Mediacoder has way to many settings for me to be comfortable using it
EDIT: Got the latest nightly release, and its actually working
Just re-encoding Avatar now.

And where are you buying your HDDs? I used to be able to get a 1TB WD Caviar Black for $75 on Newegg. Now, minimum $140+Shipping. Ever since that flooding in Thailand HDD shot up prices, they haven't come down a whole lot.
Sorry for the off topic reply. I'm glad I stumbled upon this because my DVD-Bluray collection is growing largely. Need to fill up my homeserver and throw them in the attic
