Blu-rays can be archived by .ISO format. It is a true digital copy of the original. The Blu-ray ISO image file is not stored in a container file. These properties make it an attractive alternative to physical media for the distribution of software as it is simple to transfer over the Internet or via a LAN connection. Most HD Media players like WD TV, Popcorn Hour, Dune BD 3.0, TVIX HD SlimS1 Media Player, D-Link Boxee Box Digital Media Player can play the Blu-ray ISO image files without problems. However, some HD media players can’t handle the ISO movies well, so we need do some work in advance.

Despite of what you see in the above title, this post will not give you any details about creating Blu-ray ISO image from Blu-ray Disc, rip Blu-ray ISO to 1080p mkv, avi, mp4, etc, or play Blu-ray ISO on computer& HDTV. Instead, it is a collection of tools and solutions that help you achieve all of those.

Boxee is the best way to watch movies, TV shows and clips from the Internet on your TV. You can buy a device powered by Boxee or build your own Boxee using a new or used computer. We could Download Boxee’s free software and install it on any computer capable of being connected to a TV. Add a cable (which one depends on your TV and computer) and use a iPhone/Android to control your Boxee or buy a PC remote separately.

However, the fact that neither Boxee Media Manager nor the D-Link Boxee box plays movies from DVD is known. But there’s one more question: Can the Boxee Media Manager play DVD or Blu-Ray rips? Boxee says NO in its Support board because “Currently ISO and RAR archives are not supported.” However, if you try ripping a DVD/Blu-ray to Boxee supported format- in fact it supports quite a lot of formats- like AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, you can play that. I have successfully added my DVD and Blu-ray collections to Boxee in this way. Here’s how I do it on my Windows 7 PC: convert Blu-ray Discs/DVDs to MP4 720p HD videos with Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, and then put these HD movies to Boxee media sources. In this way it gives pretty sharp image when streaming the movies from Boxee to my HDTV.

Why is ByteCopy the best choice for ripping Blu-ray movies to HD media player?

When people rip Blu-ray for HD media player playback, they want the best quality, if possible, everything original. However, this is not a good idea. Not any HD media player can replace a Blu-ray Disc player so far. Even there are HD media player boxes that lets users to add a Blu-ray Disc drive (e.g. Popcorn Hour C-200), they do not give you full features. Normally you have main movie but lose the menus and special features, and this is called simple BD-navigation.

But most HD media players only read Medias from HDD. That’s why people need get Blu-rays ripped first. When ripping a Blu-ray to HDD, there are quite a lot of formats to save the movie to : ISO, BDMV, M2TS, MKV, and whatever video format you like. Many guys choose ISO because it keeps everything original of the Blu-ray movie. Well “everything original” includes the menus and features and some other files that your HD media player can not play. Without them you can save 3GB or more for a single Blu-ray movie.

And “everything original” also means the 1080p video of very high bitrate, up to 7.1-channels HD audio and PGS subtitles. Now the question is, can your HD media player decode TrueHD and DTS-HD codec? If not, can it pass-through them to an audio receiver that supports these codecs? If not again, you’ll have to down-mix them during Blu-ray ripping, say converting DTS-HD to Dolby Digital 5.1 audio or AAC stereo with ByteCopy, otherwise you’ll watch a silent film… The good news is, not every Blu-ray has 7.1 audio- many Blu-ray Discs still use Dolby Digital codec for main audio stream.
