Need an alternative to DVDfab for Blu-Rays

Okay, so DVDfab has always worked for me in regards to BD's, but it's now discontinued (as you may know) and so that means no more updates.

I have now run into trouble with the Region B BFI Blu-Ray release of Werner Hertzog's NOSFERATU. For those who don't know, it's getting raves. Anyway...

It seemed to rip/copy okay (I did a 1:1 copy of the BD50) but I now have two coasters after burning using IMGBURN. That has never happened to me before. For extra clarification... I did not create an ISO. I created a folder structure, since that always seems 100% reliable.

I have no actual Region B Blu-Ray player so I cannot verify if the actual BFI disc is bad. After years of importing BD's I have never had a bad disc. Not yet, anyway.

What can I use to make a 1:1 copy? Is there anything outside of DVDfab? Things are ever changing so I figured somebody here would know. 

For those anti-piracy people please remember that I am simply buying superior versions of these films vs. the shitty USA releases. Shout Factory destroyed Nosferatu with DNR so they can kiss my ass. These are my own personal titles I bought that I copy to Region A. [u]I retain the Region B originals[/u]. I especially love the steelbook versions (like with LIFEFORCE and other Arrow releases).

I'm pretty sure you can do this with AnyDVD HD (Slysoft).  I know that you can convert between different regions.

But do I also need to buy their CloneDVD? Not to mention CloneDVD says nothing about BD. This is what gets me about Slysoft. The lack of information. And the dollar to euro conversions means i am spending a shitload of money. It's really absurd.

I'm assuming many of the features will be disabled, but I'll download and see what's what. Thanks for the link.

 That's what google's for.  Plenty of people that have anydvd have all the answers to your questions on the web.  Oh, and Slysoft has their own forums.

Uh, yeah, I think i googled it, thank you very much. But it's not exactly easy to decipher the information. 

I have the AnyDVD HD trial but so far am not having much luck.

I used a tool which is recommended by some professional forums. It is much professional on dealing with DVD/BDs. You can have a try.
