ASUS SBW-06D2X-U for bluray

Hey folks,

I already used the ASUS SBW-06D2X-U to backup DVD movies and it seemed to work. They got saved as an .iso file and I could play them.

But when i tried the same with a Blu Ray movie it didn't work. The Backup was saved in a folder but when I tried to select the folder with vlc to play the movie it just keept on loading.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

This is my drive info:

That drive can read Bluray disks, but... BDs are saved differently than DVDs. Actually, saving DVDs as ISOs is "new".

Generally speaking, both types of disk are saved as collections of MKV files that are the contents of the disk, NOT as "disk images". This is what you get if you click on the BIG ICON that looks like a disk, rather than on the smaller icons at the top. This icon "spins" when the disk is turning while loading, and looks like an open drive if the drive is open. Some people assume it's just an indicator, but it's the MAIN ICON for ripping a disk.
