I've had drives fail to read some, then all discs as they started going bad, or I've had them burn discs that nothing would read, including the drive I used to burn with. You will need a Blu-Ray drive to read the discs on your PC/laptop. I've had very poor longevity from Blu-Ray drives - the one from LG that I have now is a warranty replacement because the original lasted less than a year. The same sort of thing can & does happen to DVDs, but I've seen DVDs that looked terrible still work, while a Blu-Ray that looked pristine failed. Why back up your Blu-Ray discs? The tiniest of scratches, something you have a hard time seeing reflected with a strong light, can if parallel to the tracks render a disc useless. At any rate, if you want to backup your Blu-Ray discs, something to consider. DVDFab can remove Cinavia, but only for few select titles. You can use an older Blu-Ray player, use a media player box, play with a PC/laptop using Leawo's Blu-Ray player. As it's embedded in the audio track, there's generally no removing it. This is one of very few solutions that should work for you to backup the Blu-Ray discs you've bought, with one caveat - Cinavia protection is becoming more common, even appearing on some DVDs, & that can give you problems.
