Transferring Blu-Ray Disc to regular MP3?

[North East Goon]

Can this be done or would the Blu-ray technology prevent this? Sorry, I am tech deficient.

Hmmmm, you'll need to provide more details. Is it a Blu-Ray movie? You just want the mp3 sounds from the movie? or do you want movie files on your computer? (mp3 files are sound only).

Or is it a data blu-ray and you want to copy the songs off of it?


Color me confused.

What exactly are you trying to do? This is like saying that you want to copy a VHS to an Audio Cassette tape.

I've done that before. It was better than a book on tape.

If you mean you want to take the audio from a blu-ray movie and have the audio as an mp3, then yes generally blu-ray would prevent you from doing this, easily at least.

There are some ways around that.. easiest would be to simply play the movie on your computer and use an audio recorder to record the "what you hear" option to a WAV file and then convert that to MP3's. Not going to be the best quality though.

Beyond that there's software out there to (illegally) decrypt the blu-ray and then you could rip the audio out and downmix it to stereo.. possible to do but will require lots of different pieces of software.

Either way it'll be something requiring some decent knowledge, not for the n00b of heart

Far easier to just get the soundtrack.

Mp3 is an audio format, not a video format. If you mean your Mp3 player then we need to know the model of Mp3 player and the video formats supported. Long story short is this is definitely possible but it's probably too complicated for you and it would be easier to just download the relevant movie in the size and format more suited to your Mp3 player than trying to rip a Blu-Ray which will take effort to overcome the HDCP (either through component out to video in on a PC which you likely don't have or the new cracked Blu-Ray encryption and software) and then you'll need about 50GB of harddrive space to store the files and then you'll need to further compress and shrink them into a much smaller format while remastering and remuxing the files you want (probably ~300MB or less) to fit on an MP3 player which would take hours of processing time on a low-medium speed PC.

It'd be far easier to rip a DVD to watch on your Mp3 player as the files are much smaller and there is already lots of software that is easy to use for this purpose. Many Mp3 players actually come with software to do this already.

The least painful way to get video you own on Blu-Ray onto your Mp3 player would be to look for illegal releases of said movie that are already formatted for iPods, etc. via the intertorrenttubularwebs.

Ahh ok.

Legally no there's no way to do this. Some Blu-ray movies now though come with digital versions that let you view the movie on a portable media player.

Technically it is possible to do, but it would probably be easier to pirate the movie off the Internet.

I am now officially old and do not understand anything!

Or buy an Apple product and buy the movie again off iTunes.
