MakeMKV vs ByteCopy vs DVDfab - Top Blu-ray Ripper/Backup Review

For a beginners, The following passages take a brief review of 3 top Blu-ray Rippers: MakeMKV, DVDfab and Pavtube ByteCopy.

Hello, the Blu-ray/DVD Backing up & Ripping Review will show you on how to lossless convert/backup hundreds of Blu-ray/DVD movies to MKV, keep exactly same video and audio quality with original disks, moreover, retain multiple audio tracks and subtitles...


Top 1. Pavtube ByteCopy Review

Pavtube ByteCopy

You might have heard Pavtube ByteCopy - It is absolutely a top choice for those who wanna put Blu-ray/DVD to HD media players like WD TV Live and NMT A-210 for playback. So what can it do for you? 

Basically, the ByteCopy is similar to MakeMKV when it cracks and copied Blu-ray Disc and DVD movie to MKV. However, this app does not only everything (selection of forced subtitles is excluded from the "everything" ) MakeMKV does, but also converts/encodes Blu-ray contents. 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.
  • Export file format: .mkv
  • Video: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1, MPEG pass-through; H.264, Xvid, MPEG, VC-1 encoded
  • Audio: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital, DTS-HD high-def, DTS-HD MA pass-through; Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, AAC, MP3 encoded.

Trial and Download


ByteCopy for Windows
  • Requires Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32bit and 64bit).
ByteCopy for Mac OS X
  • Requires x86 Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Pavtube ByteCopy rips Blu-ray in 2 ways, lossless copy and lossy conversion. In trial version lossless backup runs 7 times only; for loss conversion, a watermark is put on the screen. A full version is offered at $42. The purchase includes a lifetime license and unlimited upgrades.
Added July 9, 2013: Pavtube ByteCopy is upgraded!It’s now a much more powerful Blu-ray/DVD ripper/converter, and BD/DVD multi track preserver.

Top 2. MakeMKV Review

MakeMKV

MakeMKV is a nice choice for those who feel like to make lossless copy of their Blu-ray and DVD collections. The software does one thing- converting the video clips from encrypted disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way- and does it well. It is very easy to remove unwanted audio or subtitle tracks and pretty fast to back up a Blu-ray. The copying of Blu-ray Avatar took only 86 minutes. All video streams, audio tracks and subtitles are included in resulting MKV file.

Import source: Blu-ray Disc/folder/ISO, DVD

Export file format: .mkv (with original codecs)

To add- MKV (also known as Matroska) is a container file format, in which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie in a single file. Practically this means that it is possible to put entire movie with multiple sound and subtitle tracks, chapters and movie thumbnail into single file.

MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Windows
  • Requires Windows XP, Vista or Win7, x86 or x64.
MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Mac OS X
  • Requires x86 Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Linux

MakeMKV allows for a 30-day trial, and $50 is all you pay for lifetime Blu-ray ripping feature. Its DVD ripping feature always stays free, so let's say thank you to the generous developer of MakeMKV.

Top 3. DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper Review

DVDfab

DVDfab used to stand for an excellent free DVD ripper. Now we know they can do more (and ask for more too). DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper decrypts and rips Blu-ray title to various video files playable on next generation consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360, HD player like WD TV Live, or mobile devices like iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc. Unlike MakeMKV, it exports a lot of video codecs and formats:

Video: MPEG-4, H.264, MP4, MKV, AVI, WMV, M2TS, TS etc.

Audio: MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, WAV, AAC, AC3, DTS, etc.

So you see the differences here. With MakeMKV you get lossless Blu-ray backup but only in MKV format; while with DVDfab you lose original Blu-ray quality but get much smaller movie clips in desired format. A preferred feature of DVDfab is their "Lighting speed", i.e., multi-core CPUs and NVIDIA CUDA support. By taking advantage of CUDA accelerating, the conversion time is greatly shorted.

Trial and Download

DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper
  • Requires Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32bit and 64bit).
DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper for Mac
  • Requires x86 Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Everyone can evaluate the trial for 30 days before it stops work. To continue using the software, you can buy a one-year license of DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper at $60 and $105.6 for lifetime license. If you purchase Blu-ray Ripper and DVD Ripper in bundle, it'll be $93.5 for one-year use and $154 for lifetime. Pretty high price, isn't it? Especially when you can get a similar Blu-ray Ripper at much lower price?

Compare: MakeMKV vs. DVDfab vs. Pavtube ByteCopy

MakeMKV and ByteCopy are good for lossless Blu-ray and DVD backup, while DVDfab focuses on Blu-ray trans-coding to portable devices like PS3, Xbox, etc.

Q: Which Blu-ray ripper keeps Blu-ray movie structure (including chapters)?
A: MakeMKV and ByteCopy

Q: Which Blu-ray ripper keeps multiple audio tracks and subtitles?
A: MakeMKV and ByteCopy

Q: What about the ripping speed of the three Blu-ray Rippers?
A: MakeMKV = ByteCopy (lossless copy) > DVDfab

Q: Which en-decodes Blu-ray with NVIDIA's CUDA support (GPU computing)?
A: ByteCopy and DVDfab (Tip: CUDA works only when exporting H.264 encoded videos)

Q: Which does better on Blu-ray hacking/cracking?
A: Not a Blu-ray ripper is able to crack all the Blu-ray Discs as decryption always falls behind encryption. So it's a question of upgrade and tech support. All the three updates their software along with the come up of new BD+ keys. MakeMKV and Pavtube ByteCopy charge free for updates while DVDfab asks you pay extra money for the updates.
  
If you like the tutorial, pls share it and explain the sources, thanks.

The wait is nearly over Apple unveils new Mac Pro




"Can't innovate any more, my ass."

Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller's in-your-face statement essentially sums up what Apple thinks of the new Mac Pro, unveiled during a "sneak peek" at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. Apple's new desktop workstation isn't just a powerful machine for the most demanding users, it shows that the company still takes the Mac and its product design seriously.

Apple's new desktop workstation features a sleek, cylindrical design that's a stark contrast to the mammoth, roomy aluminum tower initially introduced with the Power PC-based Power Mac G5 in 2003, and revised with the release of the Intel-based Mac Pro in 2006. Apple didn't announce a formal ship date, stating that the new Mac Pro will ship later this year, nor did it talk about pricing or specific models. It will be made in the United States.

 
"You're going to love the Mac Pro. It's killer," said Apple CEO TIm Cook about the new Mac Pro.

What the new Mac Pro has

The new 9.9-inch tall Mac Pro case is about one-eighth the size of the Mac Pro tower. The entire top of the Mac Pro is a handle for carrying, and motion sensor lights show the I/O ports. The new design, according to Schiller, is based around a "unified thermal core" to help keep the machine cool.

Apple didn't just rely on the stunning, jaw-dropping design of the new Mac Pro for its sneak peek. Schiller offered a lot of specifics as to what's under the hood.

At the heart of the Mac Pro is a Xeon E5 processor, which is based on Intel's Ivy Bridge microarchitecture and introduced by the company last April. Configurations with 12-cores will be available, and all Mac Pros will use third-generation PCI Express architecture. Apple is also using 1866MHz ECC DDR3 RAM.

Schiller also went to great lengths to emphasize the new Mac Pro's graphics performance. The machine will have dual AMD FirePro workstation-class GPUs, and be able to run three 4K displays at one time. Apple says the new Mac Pro's graphics performance is 2.5 times faster than its predecessor.

The Mac Pro is designed for speed, and Apple is outfitting the machine with PCIe-based flash memory, not traditional SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. Apple touts speeds of 1.25 GBps for reads and 1.0 GBps for writes. The company did not give specifics as to the amount of storage available.

 
The new Mac Pro's ports: audio out, headphone jack, four USB 3 ports, six Thunderbolt 2 ports, two gigabit ethernet ports, HDMI out, power.

What the Mac Pro is missing

The new MacPro will have Thunderbolt 2, the newest iteration of Intel's Thunderbolt technology that supports data rates of 20 gbps. Thunderbolt 2 will be a critical technology for new Mac Pro users—it will provide connectivity for legacy devices.

The most remarkable change with the Mac Pro is the elimination of expansion slots. The previous Mac Pro had a pair of 16-lane PCI Express 2.0 slots and a pair of 4-lane PCI Express 2.0 slots. For current owners who have filled their Mac Pro's slots and still need to use their cards, you'll have to invest in an external Thunderbolt expansion chassis that will house expansion cards and connect to the new Mac Pro via Thunderbolt.

 
The new Mac Pro is much smaller than the previous Mac Pro.

During the new Mac Pro presentation, there was no visual evidence of an optical drive. With the elimination of the optical drive from the Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Air, and Retina MacBook Pro, it's not a surprise to see the optical drive dropped from the new Mac Pro. (The standard MacBook Pro is the only Mac with a built-in optical drive.) As with expansion cards, current Mac Pro owners who have and need optical drives must turn to external USB solutions, either by buying new external optical drives or by removing the optical drives in their current Mac Pro and housing the drives in an external USB case.

Each Thunderbolt 2 port supports up to six daisy-shained devices. With six Thunderbolt 2 ports, the Mac Pro can support up to 36 Thunderbolt peripherals.
