That's quality.
What I've since done is bid for Asus BDXL writer -in progress via e-bay as I enjoy the idea of copying some purchased discs to rip convert and transfer by myself -push i3 laptop to it;s limits -if possible.
Meanwhile mauybe what I could try is adding this to my iTunes library if I can take myself away from. Ipad 1.05 and switch on laptop.
Thanks!

Have a thought though that making a duplicate of a blu-ray is definitely not a plug-and-play experience and buying the writer will not make it possible, any more than buying a guitar will make you able to play it.
The blu-ray disks have heavyweight protection on them. There are ways to manage it but be prepared to do a lot of learning.

It pretty much is a plug and play experience (well click one button) with the correct software which is readily available. The encryption is trivial to break.

Not difficult initially, but a lot of unnecessary work these days.

I used to utilise Magic DVD Ripper. It's sister product Magic Blu Ray Ripper and Copier would have been my recommendation back then.

Makemkv is what I have used.
It's free while it's in beta, and has been in beta for years.
