Blu-ray backups

[afterburner]

Does anyone know of a program that will backup a commercial blu-ray dvd onto a blank blu-ray disc

None! There is some software that "cracks"
the encryption, however this could not be considered legal no matter what. Managed copy is still being sorted out, copying to a HDD. I would be surprised if the released Blu-ray disc's will support this. On the back of Blu-ray disc's you will notice an disc copy symbol with a (NO) red line through it (at least all the ones I have).

There are many threads (mainly old - about 18 months ago) about copy protection. I don't think we need another discourse on everyone's thoughts about copy protection again (just getting in first). Sometime down the tack I would imagine software will be released to copy non protected disc's (home movies).

For the record there is no such thing as blu-ray dvd - it's just Blu-ray.

eventualy you can find a program that does exactly that, but it will not be commercial .

Just note that when you do movie rips for DVD, it saves them to your harddrive as vob files. I don't know what kinds of files are on a BD or HDDVD movie, but could require up to 50GB of free hard drive space for each movie! . BD-Rs do come in 50GB disks, however if you screw up the burning process, that's a $60 coaster.

then there is authoring. It's definately somthing that takes time learn how to do. But that how a noob, becomes an expert. All experts were once noobs.

Unless you can find an app like DVD shrink for HD-media. However that would mean all that talk about protecting HD content is a bunch of bull.

So how does this work? Does it work well? I'd like to get opinions of it before trying it out myself for 2 reasons. One the software is expensive to purchase, 2) If wasting a Blank Blu Ray can be avoided I'd like to know now, it's a 10 dollar purchase. Thanks.
