Make Blu-ray .m2ts streams available for your PC and portable devices
To enable Blu-ray .m2ts streams to be available for playback on a PC or some popular portable multimedia players like iPod, iPhone, PSP, etc., the way of Windows users is to make use of AnyDVD HD to remove Blu-ray copyright protections as well as the region codes in the first step, and then have access to an M2TS converter to do format conversion in the second step. Apart from this method, another way is also practical, that is taking advantage of a Blu-ray ripper directly to complete this process once and for all. Since not everybody is clearly about the two ways, also because I have enough spare time currently, I will present the two solutions in a detailed way in this post, and hope it would be of some help for you guys who are hunting for this info.
Solution 1: with the help of AnyDVD HD and an M2TS Converter

1. Insert your Blu-ray disc to the BD drive, and run AnyDVD HD to remove copyright protections and region codes of your disc, no matter what kinds of protections your BD discs adopted, BD+, or AACS, AnyDVD HD is capable of dealing with them. Then you will get unprotected.m2ts files after the access of AnyDVD HD.
If you just want to watch the .m2ts files on your PC, you can use VLC media player, KMPlayer, or whatever to open these files for playback. If you need import them to your portable devices for playing, you should go on with the following step to do format conversion. Additionally, according to my own experience, VLC and KMPlayer sometimes are choppy while playing .m2ts files, suppose you want to watch them smoothly, format conversion is also recommended.
