just as an aside, ripping blu-ray SUCKS .. it's like 1:1 playtime:rip rate. they look great though ;)

I think that depends on what drive you have, and your computer too. I've ripped quite a few of mine, and it tends to be a bit faster than that. Some take a bit of time though. The time it needs to rip is a combination of your drive's ripping speed and processor speed (for decrypting the video).

I think it's good to have a backup of your movies though. I also run a media server which I put my ripped movies on so I can stream them. And for my media server, I transcode them with Handbrake to make smaller files, which stream more easily.

I'd wanted to get a BD-RW drive (or whatever they call them) for
backups, but I've resorted to having them locally on my desktop,
mirrored to my NAS, and copied to an external drive that I copy to the
cloud occasionally. That gets me a local backup or two and an offsite
backup should things go terribly south.
