HandBrake is designed with DVDs in mind but it can handle Blu-rays if you've already used other software, such as AnyDVD HD, to bypass the copyright protection. The resulting file only contains the movie, not the menus and extras, although you can include subtitles and surround sound. You can dial down the picture and sound quality for small devices, or stick close to the original quality for large screens – there are presets for different devices. Besides removing the regional limitations, you can also assign the default zone, remove analogue barriers, and enable usage options that are.

Rather than making a bit-perfect copy, HandBrake compresses your movies into MP4 or MKV video files which will play on your computer and just about any portable device. AnyDVD is a small app that is installed on the system bar to detect and remove in a matter of seconds the regional limitations on any DVD reader to keep them from being used outside a particular zone. HandBrake also copies movies, although you need VLC installed to help it read the disc. The subscription fee entitles you to software updates to deal with new copy protection methods. AnyDVD HD ($120 for two years) will also rip your Blu-ray movies, although they weigh in at about 25GB. The picture and sound quality are identical to the original disc. You can play back these ripped files in the VLC media player and with most other DVD playback software. AnyDVD makes a perfect copy of your DVD, complete with menus and special features – although the files take up about 4GB.

If you were ripping CDs to your MP3 player long before it was legal then you might not have any qualms about doing the same with your movie library – especially if it means you can put away the original disc for safe-keeping to avoid scratches and grubby fingerprints. Current copyright law lets Australians rip their music CDs to their computers but not their DVD and Blu-ray movies. It's easy to make backups of your favourite movies and copy them to your portable gadgets, although the law is not on your side when you do so. AnyDVD: Better if you need perfect recreations of your disc-based movies for the big screen.
