It mean that you can now rip and rencode BD+ movies..... well... except Hitman, that one doesn't work, but so far that is the only trouble child Blue-Ray movie. Of course you can only do this to movies that you own ;-) and in no way should you be using this to copy rented or borrowed movies.

This means that you can now rip your Blu-ray disks, remove the AACS copy protection and BD+ enhanced encryption, and either play them locally with PowerDVD or encode the video to a format you choose (i.e. MKV with x264, or WMV-HD.)

The quality is not changed when BD+ encryption is removed from the movie. Quality "could" be lost when you encode the source to another format. However, the difference in quality is so minute, you can barely notice.

This is a great day that customers now have the choice legally back up their media, either by copying the disk or encoding to another format.

There have been blu-ray rips going round for ages, how was this possible before now?

Not quite. What you have seen are non-BD+ protected Blu-ray disks, and those that were released in Europe where HD-DVD disks, that were ripped to x264/MKV format. Only recent Blu-ray disks from Fox (i.e. Live Free or Die Hard, Hitman, etc.) are BD+ encrypted. This makes ripping from the source Blu-ray disk nearly impossible. There are expensive external hardware devices that could allow one to capture the rendered frames, and then encode to their format of choice.

Plus, BD+ has been rumored to be the sole reason why studios like Warner Bros made the decision to bo Blu only.

With the now demise of BD+ protection, I bet studios just had a collective shit-a-brick.
