Mostly, yes. I have some BlueRay disks I will try to RIP sometime when I get access to a drive although when I tried ~1 yr. ago it wasn't straight forward to make a backup. Those were disks I had for $1 at a yard sale and wanted to try and see if someone with a collection could then RIP them to free formats in order to avoid the imposed content (such as previews and other crap) - like on DVDs. Another great movie for kids is Big Buck bunny. > > Thanks for the hint with Miro...I just installed on my Xubuntu box.
