I'm looking for a blu-ray backup or blu-ray rip, as my primary goal is backing up my Blu-ray movie collection(The first 5 were: Avatar, Million Dollar Baby, Serenity, The Last Samurai, The Lost Room). Secondary, to watch movies while traveling.

In detail, I want to backup my Blu-ray to a 3tb external network drive first, then sync my movie directory to a 2tb external travel drive for use when traveling. With the 2tb external drive connected to my Asus laptop I can watch movies on either the laptop with VLC Media Player, or when available, a TV with a HDMI and USB port using a Microsoft wireless display adapter.
