Ripping HD-DVDs and Blu-ray disks

I've recently come across a HD-DVD and blu-ray internal drive for my computer. I have, maybe two movies on HD-DVD that I want to backup, and play without the disk.

I'm fairly sure this is legal. I just want to rip my copy to my computer, in the same quality. How should I do this? And what should I rip it to to preserve quality in 1080p? It needs to be played in VLC.

edit: Well, I understand I can rip straight to an iso and then convert, but I want something manageable that still looks pretty much the same.

    I would usually reccomend Handbrake in these situations.

    You recommend Handbrake for ripping HD-DVD and BD? Handbrake cannot decrypt those formats.

    The best place to look is probably www.doom9.org or the program (I think) anydvd. Last time I looked into it, it certainly wasn't an easy task, but things may have changed.

    Well technically, if you live in the US, it's not legal, but yea, look up AnyDVD. I don't know of any free software that can rip HD DVD and blu ray.

    There you go. It does need AnyDVD, though.

    Get a copy of Anydvd HD and a copy of (free) RipBot264.

    That's all you need to make mp4s from the original discs to playback on a variety of devices of your choice.
