Rip Blu-ray/DVD to QuickTime MOV for playback on Mac OS X Lion

QuickTime is an extensible proprietary multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video. However, Blu-ray (.m2ts) and DVD (.vob) are out of the range of QuickTime audio or video formats. That doesn't means you are totally banned to watch Blu-ray and DVD movies in QuickTime Player. Actually, an available Blu-ray and DVD Ripper for Mac will definitely do you a favor to remove copy protections, and rip the movies to a Mac QuickTime Player compatible format. Here it mainly tells a step-by-step tutorial about how to convert Blu-ray and DVD movies to Mac QuickTime Player supported format.

The decryption software we recommended is Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac - A powerful Blu-ray to QuickTime MOV Converter tool designed for Mac users. It is capable of converting Blu-ray movies to MOV/HD MOV format, so that you can enjoy HD Blu-ray movies with QuickTime Player, or edit them in Final Cut Pro/Express on your Mac conveniently without any trouble.
