    Just wondering, if you rip a Blu-Ray movie to a digital format, can you then watch that on any computer, even those without a Blu-Ray/Dvd player?

    You can only rip Blu-ray discs only if you have a blu-ray drive. :p

    But you can download a blu-ray image and it will play on your PC with the right video and audio codex. I watched a Blu-ray download of Alice in Wonderland with Divx Plus and AC3Filter video was prefect but the sound jumped in places but was watchable until I finally went out and bought it.

    I know that, I was asking about where you can play it after you rip it.
    So it can work if you configure it right with the codexs? Or it has problems no matter what you do?

    Honestly I only tried it the one time on my PC but I say if I had tinkered with the settings I could have improved it a bit, but the same set up I had I ported over to my wifes laptop and the video was still good but the audio was a lot worse so about all I can really say is try it out and see what it does and just tinker with it mine wasn't perfect but tolerable enough for me to watch the entire movie.

    Yeah. After you rip it, you can. It's just like a DVD.
    Well, if you're ripping it to an ISO, then you'll need Alcohol. Not sure if it supports Blu-ray though.
    If you're using a .VOB or whatever file format they use, just use VLC player to watch the video stream.
