I have been using SlySoft AnyDVD and PavTube ByteCopy for BluRay ripping. SlySoft has been shut down and PavTube does not appear to be working with recent movies I tried to rip either. anyone kows what is goinf on, and any advice on alternative programs for BLu Ray ripping. Very annoying....
Slysoft is back under a slightly different name operating out of a different country:

I believe they will honor any unexpired update subscriptions you might have.
DVDFab had gone through a similar process a couple of years ago. But, they have survived.
There is also MakeMKV, which the lawyers and courts have not been able to get to, yet at least.
One thing I liked about Slysoft was that it could play a DRMed BD video in real time, unlike the others. You did not have to first create a ripped file for playback. With MakeMKV, that rip takes maybe 30 minutes. I have not played with DVDFab. So, Slysoft was great for playing Netflix rentals immediately via my PC BD drive without the wait for ripping to a file on the hard drive. I do not believe in saving movie rips. Mostly, I will never watch movies again in my lifetime, and they become just baggage on my NAS. I will just re-rent them in the unlikely event I wish to ever see them again. Music is an entirely different story, of course.
But, the real question in this international chess game is who can best stay ahead of the lawyers for the media companies. Stay tuned.
