    …which is why I like the lazy route of BDMV or ISO rips. Storage is (was and will be again) cheap (unless you are Michael and have to expand a RAID array to get a new controller Tongue Out).

    True, but, in my mind, that’s still no reason to waste such space.  We’re talking up to 20+GB being saved per rip.  Rip 100 Blu-rays and you could have potentially “wasted” 2TB on menus, forced trailers and legal threats, interviews, commentary and other extras you’ll never watch.  I used to want the convenience of a quick rip, but realized how quickly it became so utterly wasteful.

    I use DVDFab HD, and I rip only the “Main Movie” of the bluray to the server.  That saves several GB’s.  If I wanted to watch extras I’d just put the disc in.  I ripped Avatar to the server Saturday, and even though it was only the movie it was still about 40gb.
