Software designed to extract the digital content from Blu-ray discs enables users to create copies of their media in various digital formats. For instance, a user might employ such a program to convert a Blu-ray movie into an MP4 file for playback on a tablet or computer.
The ability to convert physical media into digital files offers several advantages. It allows for convenient storage, backup, and playback of content on a range of devices, thereby mitigating the risk of damage or loss to the original disc. The practice has grown alongside the increasing demand for digital media and the desire to archive personal collections.
