Listening to the Voices in My Head

I made a full disc copy of one of my blu ray movies to a hd. Started up Blu Ray program, and voila, the full disc folder rip plays without a hitch.

so, that just means the idiot from "My Computer Mate" didn't put something together right (you know, the moron that made my computer worse, then had the audacity to blackmail me if I wanted him to fix HIS fuck up, I had to pay him more.) If it was just the drive, I wouldn't have been able to make a full disc copy, or play regular DVDs.

The only problem with ripping the blu-ray to a drive is that they're 43gbs. Even with a large capacity drive, ripping my blu-rays to the drive is out of the question. I guess I could just rip the main movie file, HD mp4 or mkv.

And it turns out that the idiot from "My Computer Mate" did something to that prevents Blu-Ray discs from playing. (and before anyone trying to be 'helpful', don't. Been there, done it, over and over, no joy). The drives read the discs, info all there, but when I hit play, nothing. I can play DVDs without a problem, but not blu-ray discs. All I can think of is I need to hook it up via the DVI-I rather than HDMI, and that would entail cracking open the back of the computer again.

Easier solution for me is to rip videos from the blu-ray discs and play them.

Having the larger monitor.. well, my eyes are already thanking me for it.

So, what I will do is just use this computer until it caks it, and then do hat Alan did. have one built to order instead. Give said person a full system back up, and even though it will have fits for a while for not having the correct drivers, that is easily remedied. Just let it auto update them all.
