need some help....

[matt57]

hello,
i was recently given a philips portable media center (PMC) as birthday present. i've got a program that converts mpeg and other file types to WMV so i can watch on my PMC. what i was wondering is whether or not there is a program that will allow you to convert your Bluray's to WMV or even MPEG4??? i've done a quick google search and didn't see anything right off.

super convertor ?
but in the first place, i think it's illegal to do ripping.

piracy is illegal. i'm simply talking about using the movies i already own on my PMC. there is nothing at all illegal about ripping dvd's youve purchased for your own personal use.

Actually, it is illegal in the U.S.

I'm not positive, but I believe this was overturned later the next year. As long as the consumer consents that the copy being made is not intended for distribution of any kind and for a single personal backup copy only.

it's illegal. besides BD is protected.

When I burn dvds with AnyDVD there is a Blu-Ray option menu. Does this mean that the protection on BD can be removed alsoÉ
