Alright, so I recently downloaded a blu Ray movie in its entirity and now I am looking for a good guide to rip and encode the movie, I want to in encode the blu Ray movie using x264 because it is gpl'd, and I want to keep the subtitles from the movie, and the multiple audio tracks, special features are a toss up. Does anyone on here have expierence ripping blu Ray movies on os x or a *nix variant, don't really want to use windows because I think it will take forever in virtualbox?

cheers

There are many Blu-Ray ripping apps. Whether any run on OS X is another story. I would do a google search.

(x264 not in current 0.9.4, so prbally should download the svn instead.)

Wait.. does this do what I think it does? BD/DVD to MKV and back again. Pwah?!
Windows, OSX, Linux

I assume this answers "no" to your question of "back again".
