Is it at all possible right now to put blu-ray movies onto an iPod? I'm not expecting HD quality, but I just want to be able to watch my blu-ray movies on my iPod.

Quite obviously a Blu-ray drive would be needed, but I need to know if its possible before I buy the drive.

Thanks
 
If you rip it using AnyDVD HD in Windows, then convert it to mp4 using any number of tools, then possibly, but it's a lot of hassle.

Or if the movie comes with a Digital Copy.
 
Is there a point? It is still going to be played with a tiny screen (in comparison to full HD resolutions). Just watch any old SD movie and also watch a blu-ray disc you ripped. It'll be the same.

The point is, if you own a Blu-ray player you don't have to go out and buy both the Blu-ray and DVD Video discs of the same title. That would be wasting money.

Thanks, I didn't know that digital copies came with blu-ray discs (hadn't had one before) and then opened the Dark Knight to find a digital copy. They work slick!

Exactly. After opening the Dark Knight, I opened Step Brothers and it didn't have a digital copy and was disappointed. Digital Copy should be standard at this point.

Blu-ray ROM and a ripper is what you need.

If you have it, I guess you're good to go. for ripper I got something form:

Great, thanks!
 
I opened the Dark Knight DVD, but found that I had to pay for the digital copy.:(
It should've been free since I already paid for the DVD.

I meant the part about having to pay for it, why on earth would the studio do that?

I don't really care, but I was also under the impression that the digital copy comes WITH the Blu-Ray purchase, isn't that what they say on all the commercials? I guess I wasn't really paying close attention to how they worded it. How much extra is this digital copy? And I too understand that the studios are there to make money, and will do everything in their power to do so. ;)

Although, he did say DVD. I haven't had to pay for any Blu Ray based digital copies.
