Copy Friends Blu-ray Disc and Watch Friends Freely

" I recently got Friends Blu-ray discs of the complete series to perfect my collection. I would like to get a copy of Friends Blu-ray disc and also put some of the content onto my iPad tablet so I could watch them during my tour. Does anyone know how to do these?"

One would have to be from another planet to not know about the story behind the series of "Friends". From 1994 to 2004, it is the best 10 years of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey, when they are able to enjoy the best health, the most freedom, and the most disposable income. It is the memorial for yawn and youth, frown and friendship, as well as laugh and love. It is the first time for audiences to realize 10 years can also be such a short time. When they get married and moved out from the familiar purple apartment, it ended the long memory of millions of people who are in front of the TV screen as well. Crucial but reasonable, it ended for good. Maybe it will be equally crucial for us to see them grow old, being cheated and get divorced, which happened exactly in real life. The six guys should always be there, laughter but tears, smiles but fights, happiness but sorrow.

Friends Blu-ray/DVD versions have been available for years on many stores, like Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, etc. Since many people want to keep Friends Blu-ray as movie collection, therefore need to get copies of Friends Blu-ray disc for playback or sharing, this tutorial offers detailed solution on how to copy Friends Blu-ray disc and rip Friends Blu-ray disc for playback on computer and portable players like iPad, iPhone, etc.
