Tips on How to Select Blu-ray to DVD Backup
Software

• Blu-ray to DVD copy/converting software plays an
  important role on copying Blu-ray to DVD or
  converting Blu-ray to DVD. How to select a
  practical, efficient and cost-effective Blu-ray
  to DVD backup software program? You could refer
  to the following tips
• Disc decrypting Most Blu-ray discs are encrypted
  and/or region restricted. This is very necessary
  for copyright protection, but not applicable to
  those people who have already purchased and
  planned for a non-commercial use of the Blu-ray
  discs they have. Therefore, disc decrypting
  ability is required for Blu-ray to DVD backup
  software.
• Blu-ray/DVD to folder or ISO file backup The
  support to backup Blu-ray/DVD to folder and/or
  ISO file is also quite important, especially ISO
  image file, which represents quality lossless
  Blu-ray backup.
• ISO to disc backup You could download ISO files
  online or get ISO files ripped from discs. In
  most situations, you may need to burn ISO file to
  blank disc. Blu-ray to DVD backup software with
  support of ISO to disc burning is especially
  useful when your computer has only one Blu-ray
  recorder drive.

• Blu-ray compression Blu-ray to DVD backup is
  actually a Blu-ray to DVD compression process.
  The higher compressing rate and less quality loss
  the Blu-ray to DVD backup software could offer,
  the better it would be.
• Movie-only backup Movie-only backup is in fact
  an effective way to save storage. You could just
  backup the main movie, saving time and space.
• Blu-ray converting Sometimes you may need to
  convert Blu-ray movies to DVD VOB or other video
  formats like MP4, AVI, MKV, FLV, etc. for diverse
  uses.
• Speed for Blu-ray to DVD backup How long it
  would take to finish a Blu-ray to DVD backup
  matters a lot. Taking Leawo Blu-ray Copy as
  example, it comes with graphics card
  acceleration, which include NVIDIA CUDA, AMD APP
  and Intel Quick Sync. This means it could greatly
  shorten the backup/converting process and be
  faster than other alternatives.
• Price The cost is of course an important thing
  to think about during selecting Blu-ray to DVD
  backup software.
