I also used Handbrake when I still had disks. It's open source and allows you to select the audio track(s) and subtitle(s). You can also give it a shot.

Is there any software out there that allows me to rip the movie to MPEG4, with the subtitle track of my choice, and preferably the sound track of my choice? Yes. Check out Leawo.

I can thoroughly recommend WinX DVD Ripper WinX DVD Ripper Platinum - Real Fast Rip Copy Protected DVDs on Windows 10[^]
This program works really well, gives you a choice of output formats, can work in 'safe mode' for particularly tricky DVDs that employ anti copy tricks and is quite fast.
I rip all my DVDs and put them on an external HDD which is plugged into the TV. This is Soooooo much easier than sorting through a multitude of DVDs to find something to watch; and makes watching boxsets an absolute breeze.

Use HandBrake, is almost dead easy to use, if your DVDs are encrypted, DVD Decrypter, MakeMKV or AnyDVD should help you with that.

Try ConvertToVideo from ConvertXtoVideo - Convert videos to AVI, MKV, DVD, iPad, etc.[^]
They have a 7 day free trial and their price for a license is only $39.99USD. I bought their suite years ago and have been very happy with it and keep all their packages up to date. The trial version is fully functional so you can see if it does what you want. They have various other packages for different types of conversions. If this done doesn't do what you need perhaps another will.

Take a look at DVDFab, it's pretty good at copying DVDs and I've used the converter option to go to MPEG-4. I don't have a BD player so I don't know how well it works with Blurays.

Second hand shop, DVD player $12. Hard-rubbish collection - $free.
No time or electricity wasted ripping.
Failing that, just use the *nix olden goldie, mplayer
Here's the result a a quick goggle (sp intentional!)
mplayer rip dvd subtitles - Google Search mplayer can do the sound, the video and the subs. All for the rip-off price of $free

I have copied all my music CDs, as well as digitized vinyls and CCs, to a hard disk. It saves me half an hour a day (or at least close to that ) searching back and forth through my CD shelves to find the music I want. (Even if I used to have my CD shelves sorted on artist, that was certainly not always my selection/searching criteria: Sometimes you search for a work of a given title, sometimes for an individual artist hidden by some band name, sometimes you don't remember who was the performer, ...)
So I am in the process of ripping all my movies anyway. But generally, I make a copy of the directory structure on the video disk, so that I can select the subtitles as I want, navigate through chapters, select sound track etc. Ripping is not a big issue - as long as region codes and encryption issues can be solved, and the cost of hard disks remain low. The list price of 4-8 TB disks is around 25-30 USD per TB, so the cost of storing a BD movie is typically around 50-70 US cents.

Take a look a MakeMKV to rip (I use it for DVD, don't have BD, so not sure about BD). Then convert the *.mkv file to *.mp4 with VidCoder or just leave as *.mkv file.

Everyone, I LOVE my TiVo remote. Power/Volume works ONLY the TV... Etc.
Very simple replacement for a pair of remotes.
Now, in the Front Room, we have a big screen TV, and a sound bar. The sound bar does not pay attention to the TV Volume level.
We have a cable box. But the simple Cable TV remote does not let me program it to the soundbar. Honestly, if I could just do that, I would be happy. It is mostly for the wife/simplicity.
So, the wife is constantly ready to throw the remotes at me. I got a programmable one, but if she presses the wrong button (DVD) then the audio buttons are not longer speaking the Soundbars language.
Ughh...
==
Does anyone know of a simple remote: CableBox for Channels, Power for TV, and Volume for Soundbar?
Without 1,001 buttons and modes, etc?
Thanks in advance!

I completed and deployed my first MVC web site for a friend's business. It's not big or all that complicated, but it's a damn sight better than the wordpress crap that it replaced. There are some small tweaks that need to be made (and that only became known after the deployment), but I feel pretty good about it.
If you are so inclined to check it out...

Like this one?
There are no external authentication services configured. See this article for details on setting up this ASP.NET application to support logging in via external services.

Perhaps, John did intend that to stay so that people could read that article which I am sure would be quite helpful to many.

Seems decent enough for a basic site.
I had a relative ask me a few months ago if I could put together a small site for him, just so his small car wash/accessories business has an online presence - nothing more sophisticated than a glorified online pamphlet, truth be told. As I have neither the time nor the inclination, I was tempted to tell him about (and let him deal with) WordPress, but I think even that is beyond his technical skills.
Can I ask in what way WordPress is too crappy even for that?

It's based on PHP. PHP is crap.

Well, even if you don't want to work with PHP, as an user you don't need to see the code. Was there anything Wordpress lacked in functionality that helped you make the decision to write it from scratch as a custom website?
|
|
|
|
|
Gotcha.
I realize that WordPress wants to appeal to people who can't code at all, but I suspect that if I ended up being the one to put together a site for someone else, I probably couldn't help myself but to dig down to the actual code. So...fair warning, I guess.

I was wondering too as I've recommended Wordpress for basic websites. There are tons of themes, include commercial ones (not too expensive), 1000s of plugins, very customizable, easy import/export, etc.
