True, but, in my mind, that’s still no reason to waste such space. We’re talking up to 20+GB being saved per rip. Rip 100 Blu-rays and you could have potentially “wasted” 2TB on menus, forced trailers and legal threats, interviews, commentary and other extras you’ll never watch. I used to want the convenience of a quick rip, but realized how quickly it became so utterly wasteful.

I tried the ripping methods but found “lossless” rips only saved a few GBs unless the discs were loaded with extra. I generally keep all the audio tracks though as I needed HD Audio, DTS, stereo, etc for different setups around the house. I also enjoy movies in their native language and watch a lot of foreign films so I wasn’t removing any other language audio or subtitles streams (any German or Brazilian film I prefer no subtitles in native language but my wife needs them; she on the other hand prefers Spanish or French speaking film but I need the subtitles).
I also haven’t found a ripping method that is 100% automated and flawless. I would rather invest in more drives than take waste time per disc. I just stick the Blu-ray in the drive and it ejects when done. I do have it remove digital copies and PS3 junk though.
