    Ripping Marvel movies to media server with retention of 5.1 Audio

    In this article, we will show you the way rip, convert, store, and stream your Marvel (2D/3D) Blu-ray movies to media server with retention of 5.1 Audio.

    I own hundreds of Blu-Ray (purchase all the 3D versions on release day) too many to my movie list. All these are the marvel movies, and other family friendly movies. They’re digitally encoded versions of my favorite movies and TV shows, but trapped on physical platters. If I want to watch something, I have to find the disc, slide it into a player or a computer with a BD drive and flip TV to the proper input.

    So I think it will be nice to have all these 2D/3D Marvel movies backed up/converted and saved to media server (latest encryption necessary), then I can watch on my portable devices (like LG-3D TV, iPad, iPod, Android Phone, Kindle, Nook, various Android Tablets, etc.) anytime I want without having to pull out the disc on my BD player.

    The point here is the main thing I was looking for was full HD ripping with retention of 5.1 Audio -my other Ripping program is not able to rip the newer Blu-Rays. Well, this article will give you the answer to copying Marvel (2D/3D) Blu-ray movies to media server for watching and streaming with 5.1 audio preserving.
