Personally, I just rip as ISO files using AnyDVD HD, mount them in VirtualClone Drive and playback from my HTPC using Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater. There are half a dozen programs for this, including Ripbot264, Handbrake, BD Rebuilder, etc. So they convert to H264 and compress the files to smaller sizes. Not all configurations will play though, as your player might not recognize VC1 video in an mkv container (for example). Most people are converting to mkv or mp4 files, for compatibility across different equipment. ClownBD Copier is one step in that direction, keeping the main movie and the menu, but it isn't highly recommended so far. Taking out sections while retaining menu functions is problematic, and I don't know of any program that exists now that will work well for this. MakeMKV will also convert the main movie to an mkv file (without compression).
You can rip the entire movie to the hard drive, or you can make a main movie backup without extras or menus.
When ripping blu ray, you have two main choices on what you keep. MakeMKV seems to be the slowest at updates to deal with new encryption. You have to update the beta key each month (the new key is posted in their forum). The third program is MakeMKV, which is free to use while in beta, and it seems to stay in beta perpetually. DVDFab is also popular and their free section works to decrypt blu ray as well as dvds, though it lags on updates compared to their commercial version. I own it and am pleased with its abilities and frequency of updates.
AnyDVD HD is the one most seem to prefer. There are three main choices for ripping blu ray.
