In which, i will introduce a wonderful Blu-ray Ripper for you.

Unlike other Blu-ray ripping software, the one is named Bytecopy. At first, it's designed specially for users to crack and copy Blu-ray Disc and DVD movie to Lossless/Multi-track MKV, MP4, MOV. Which is similar with the famous MakeMKV. This feature is a lifesaver for HD media players, as not a HDD player plays 100% of Blu-ray features. E.g. When a BD movie is packed into MKV, WD TV Live can not read the Blu-ray subtitles inlaid. At this moment ByteCopy plays an irreplaceable role- it is the exclusive Blu-ray ripper that converts Blu-ray .sup subtitle to .sub without hurting video and audio quality. When it trans-codes and shrinks Blu-ray contents, CUDA acceleration is employed by default when possible.

In other words, there are many presets for tablets and phones in output format list, which are designed according to the device's configuration, like iPad Air 2, Surface Pro 3, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Galaxy Tab Pro, Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy S6/S5/S4, Galaxy Tab S, Kindle Fire HDX, Google Nexus 7/Nexus 7 2/Nexus 9/Nexus 6, Asus Transformer Book Duet TD300, ZenFone, TMeMO Pad FHD 10, Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet, BlackBerry Z30, LG G3, Lenovo, Toshiba, Alcatel and so on. .

How to export Blu-ray/DVD content to Avid Media Composer with high-quality video for editing on Mac?

Want to convert contents from Blu-ray and DVD discs to a high-quality video format(like DNxHD mov) for editing in Avid Media Composer on Mac? Whatever you are novice and pro users, you can export Blu-ray/DVD to Avid Media Composer easily with Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.

"Hi I'm an amateur video editor who wants to make some trailer or mash-up to improve my skills. I do own hundreds of Blu-ray and DVD discs but want to extract some clips out to Avid Media Composer for editing; high-quality video is my first choice. Is there any good software for this? Many thanks!"

To extract clips from Blu-ray and DVD disc is much different from playing back directly. Firstly, commercial DVD and Blu-ray are protected from copying, so you have to roll off disc protection firstly; then the format and quality issue.

The workflow seems to be complicated. However, with Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac I'm running, it can't be easier to get high quality DNxHD .mov file from BD/DVD.

Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac is the "All in one" Blu-ray ripping software, simple and easy to use with lot's of presets which I can change.

Which I like most is the DVD/Blu-ray decoder, I don't care about protections, Pavtube take card about everything. As long as your disc has been downloaded, it's decrypted. So make sure your Internet connection is ok.

And it provides multi-track MP4/MOV/ProRes/MKV presets in which I can isolate dialogue and music in one movie if I want.

Convert & Import Blu-ray/DVD to Final Cut Pro X with 5.1 sound on Mac Mavericks

This is a detailed guide to help you extract Blu-ray/DVD movie, convert it to ProRes 422 HQ with 5.1 surround sound in FCPX with a clean edit.  

Why I am missing 5.1 surround sound after converting Blu-ray/DVD to ProRes? Why FCP X log and transfer does not work with Blu-ray/DVD? Can I obtain all the languages without losing surround sound in my digitized Blu-ray/DVD movies?

You may have tried some blu-ray ripping tools and run into problems above. To be fair I have not tried many of them but also have problems like this. Hereby, with a successful trial, I'd like to share my experience here.



Firstly, you need a tool which is capable of rolling off Blu-ray/DVD disc protection, then convert them to multi-track ProRes 422 HQ with surround sound for editing in FCPX. On this step I recommend Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac because it’s quite easy to use and work reliably.
  

How to rip BD/DVD to ProRes 422 HQ with 5.1 sound for FCP X?

Step 1. Download and install this Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac, load disc.

Note: you need an external Blu-ray drive to make your Mac recognize Blu-rays firstly. Insert your discs, launch Pavtube and click the top left icon, you will find it detects your disc and shows the name automatically. Just click it to load.


  
Step 2. Choose format for editing on FCP X.

Click the “Format” icon; you may notice there’re two options of ProRes 422HQ. One is inside the “Final Cut Pro” the other is inside >Multi-track Video”. The only difference between these two presets is that the former is common one-track preset while the later could keep all your audio tracks (languages). I’d prefer the Multi-track one.

Okay choose “Multi-track Video>Multi-track Apple ProRes 422(HQ)(*.mov).
  


Step 3. Customize V&A settings.

Let’s move to “Settings” icon (right besides “Format”), you will find two tabs one for Video and the other for Audio. On Video tab, you can change target video quality as there are three levels for you to choose. 

In the Audio tab, we can check the audio tracks we need as below:



Just leave unwanted audio tracks unchecked, change audio channels to “5.1 Channels”. Click OK to confirm the change.

Step 4. Start conversion.

Back to main interface and hit “Convert” to start ripping Blu-ray/DVD to multi-track ProRes 422HQ. After it completed, click “Open output folder” to quick locate the converted MOV files.

A lot of software is listed when searching it. You may want to use the free software, so you tried free Handbreak. However, you will find that it cannot rip some Blu-ray well or totally cannot handle it. That is because it cannot rip protected Blu-ray.

Following let’s check out the procedure of ripping Blu-ray to YouTube as example.

Download the Best Blu ray Ripper for Mac and install it in your Mac first. (If you are a windows user, go to download Blu-ray Ripper).

Step 1. Launch it and import Blu-ray movies.

Firstly, you need to properly insert your Blu-ray to Blu-ray drive and keep the networked. Run the software and hit the “Load file” button to import the inserted Blu-ray. After loading successfully, the true main title will be recognized automatically. So you do not need to look for it manually.

Then you could go to choose the desired subtitle and audio for output on the main interface.

Step 2. Select output format.
  
First, let’s review the formats YouTube supports. Here is a list of some well-known formats that YouTube supports:

• WebM files – Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs
• MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – Typically supporting h264, mpeg4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec
• AVI – Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PC
• MMPEGPS – Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio
• WMV
• FLV – Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio

Then choose one suitable format in “Format” drop down list, I recommend you choose MP4, WebM or FLV which are used commonly by YouTube.



 

Step 3. Adjust parameters. (Optional)

Before conversion, you can change the video and audio parameters including size, bitrate, channels, etc. Click “Settings” to see the detailed profile settings. For example, if you want to have a smaller file size, you can choose lower bitrate to achieve it. When you have no idea about it, you can skip this step. The default setting is also a good choice.

Backup Blu-ray collection has become a prevailing method to keep Blu-ray from being scratched and make it easier to manage and access. There are various ways to backup them, such as backup intact Blu-ray main movie into M2TS,Blu-ray to lossless MKV backup, backup the entire disc and so on. You may be confused about what is the differences among them and wonder which on is better. Here I will introduce two main methods to backup Blu-ray: Blu-ray to M2TS backup and Blu-ray to MKV backup.

Now, we need to find a best Blu-ray backup program for help. Many programs can do intact M2TS backup or lossless MKV backup, but it is a little hard to find an all-in-one too with both of them. Recently Pavtube studio released newPavtube ByteCopy, which can meet almost all your needs for backup. It can backup the 100% intact Blu-ray main movie into a M2TS file and meanwhile it support to output lossless multi-track MKV with chapter mark from original Blu-ray.

When you have inserted Blu-ray disc into Blu-ray drive, run the application and then import the Blu-ray source into it. Now let’s go to find the two different methods to backup Blu-ray.

Method 1: Directly Copy Blu-ray to M2TS with original quality

Go to “Format” menu you will find “Copy” option; choose the only “Directly Copy” there for output. Then hit “Convert” button on the main interface to start Blu-ray main movie to M2TS backing up.

Once completed, you will get a M2TS backup keeping the same quality with original Blu-ray.

Method 2: Lossless Multi-track MKV backup

In the same dropdown list of “Format” you can find “Multi-track Video” option, choose “Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV (*mkv)” for output. Then go to start conversion by clicking big red “Convert” button.

In this way, you will get a MKV backup without quality loss.

However, which one is better for backup backup, Directly Copy for M2TS backup or Lossless Multi-track MKV backup? I will show you some similarities and differences for your reference.

Similarities:

Multiple tracks preservation: Both of them are capable of retaining all the multiple audio and subtitle tracks from original Blu-ray in output files. So you can select any desired tracks in backup file when you playing or editing them.

High quality: They all keep the high quality picture of original Blu-ray, which will bring you the same visual enjoyment as Blu-ray. 

High efficiency for conversion: The high speed for conversion is their common features, which will help to save more time than converting to other recoded videos. With Directly Copy, to backup a Blu-ray main movie only takes 30 minutes. It is an incredible speed for backup high quality Blu-ray

Differences:

Directly Copy creates 100% intact Blu-ray main movie except for menu and the M2TS backup contains all the multiple audio and subtitle tracks, which is exactly the same as original Blu-ray. What you get is a complete decrypted Blu-ray main movie without any recoding. 

Lossless Multi-track MKV is able to select any of multiple audio and subtitle tracks for output according to your different requirements. Moreover, it will remain the chapter mark from original Blu-ray, so you can choose the chapter as you like when playing it in media player. The limitation is that MKV file is created by resealing M2TS file, so the quality won’t be the same as original M2TS files.

Above all, I personally think Directly Copy is the best way for Blu-ray backup and it is the 100% intact backup. Everybody has different needs. If you need chapter mark or want to remove undesired tracks from original Blu-ray, Lossless Multi-track MKV is also a good choice. Just go to choose what you like.

Tips: Not all media player can support M2TS and MKV with multiple streams. You are recommended to try powerful Free VLC Player if you haven’t found a suitable one. And the chapter mark selection can be supported as well.
