I normally Rip my DVD's with DVDFab then I can watch them with Media Center.

What is the easiest way to do the same with Blu Ray?? And get the Cover Art?
 
Well this is what i do, First you will need Any-DVDHD to rip the blu-rays ( go to slysofts website and yu can download it for free and try it out ) I rip them to Iso files. While on Slysofts Website gram Virtual Clone drive to Mount your ripped Isos. Next grab MyMovies http://www.mymovies.dk/products.aspx Install this program as well as Virtual Clone drive and go to the Settings tab and it will detect Virual Clone drive as your default drive. Next you need to grab Powerdvd9 Ultra with the most current updates. Know when you launch Media Center you will select the My Movies tab and and you can launch your Blu-Rays from a nice slick interface. Before that you will need to add each Iso you have in the my movies program but its very very simple. There is a nice FAQ on the My Movies website. Email me and i can walk you thru this :)
 
Thanks, I will give that a shot.

But before I read your post, I was using DVDFab ripping just the main movie. Using My Movies to create the cover art. And Total Media to play them within MC. It seemed to work well.
 
Can't you continue to use DVDfab the same way you were using it for regular DVDs. DVDFab HD Decrypter says it supports Blu-Rays, well really only those with protections (AACS, BD+, RC, UOPS and BD-Live). So im not sure if there are newer protections it can't get around

Thats the first thing I tried, but the player would not play any ripped Blu-Ray. It would just stop on the main movie.
 
Here's a quick overview of how I currently do it, for what it's worth...

1) Download/install the following...

a) AnyDVD HD http://static.slysoft.com/SetupAnyDVD.exe

b) tsMuxer http://www.smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html

c) MediaBrowser http://www.mediabrowser.tv/download.html

2) Fire up anyDVD, and then tsMuxer.

3) In tsMuxer, click the Add button and browse to the BDMV\STREAM folder on your blu-ray disc, and select the largest m2ts file.

4) De-select any audio/video/subtitle streams you don't want.

5) Choose the output format (media center will read the m2ts format natively).

6) Watch the rip in media center>media browser! Media Browser will automatically pick up the cover art as long as the file name is the name of the movie, and will ignore anything in brackets.

I take it a bit further and transcode my blu-ray's down to 720p/AC3 using RipBot264.

Hope this helps...
 
Can you watch those mkv's on a 360 via the media center extender function this way?
