I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping will be easy for someone to answer. Let me say that I'm a long-time DVDFab user/fan and I fully expect that BD+ support will be added by the great DVDFab developers. FWIW, I am looking to rip Blu-ray movies and store them on a hard drive, playing them on my computer. I am not interested in writing them onto disc to play in a Blu-ray player. And now for my questions...
1) DVDFab does not yet support removing BD+. How will I know if a disc has BD+? Will DVDFab complain right away and inform me of the presence of BD+ in some way, or might it waste my time by allowing me to spend a couple of hours ripping a disc which will then not work?
2) Another product that shall remain nameless can remove BD+. Until BD+ removal is added to DVDFab, what is the fastest approach to ripping a BD+ disc? DVDFab complains if I have this other product running, but can/should I ignore that error and keep the other product running anyway and, if so, will that other product "do its thing" and remove BD+ in the process of DVDFab ripping the disc all in one step (using just DVDFab to rip the disc)? Or, do I need to use that other product to first rip the disc (removing BD+ along the way) to an .ISO file, and then use DVDFab on that .ISO file to rip the main movie, etc.? So, in short, I'd like to rip the BD+ movie in a single step, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
3) Can I rip the main movie using DVDFab to a full-sized .ISO file (i.e., no compression) and then, later, use that .ISO file as input into DVDFab and use the compression methods to effectively "rip it again" to a new, compressed .ISO file? Basically, I may want to rip a movie as quickly as possible the first time (main movie only, but full size file w/no compression) so that I can watch it that same day using my computer running XBMC, and then compress it another day (likely kicking it off overnight).
