I bought a BluRay for my Thinkpad and my Desktop.

Very rarely use them, but on occassion I do.

When I use them, I use them to rip movies via MakeMKV but honestly that
is the only BluRay use they ever get. And mostly the desktop, the laptop
doesn't have the memory to encode hi def in reasonable amount of time.

How much memory do you think would be needed to do that?



Unless you want to rip movies, which may violate certain laws in certain
geographical locations, there's not any point that I can see.

Congratulations, Alice. You're the sole nerd here to mention that this was possible. I've never ripped a flick before, but I could imagine doing it, so it's good to know it can be done with Linux.

I'm suprised no one yet has mentioned authoring movies. Maybe the software to do this isn't available for Linux???
