I'm beginning to think that I have no choice but to go all digital because there just isn't a viable Blu-Ray option.įor quite a while now, I’ve kept Mac DVDRipper Pro and HandBrake on my Mac, not because I’ve had frequent need for them but because I’ve occasionally had use for them. I want my movies in digital format, but I feel safer having a physical format to pull from if something ever goes wrong.

Most are fake, or simply fail completely. I would love to find a Blu-Ray ripper that actually works so I can watch my BD collection on the Apple TV, but I've searched the web high and low and it simply doesn't exist on the Mac. This is clearly a key part of the Blu-Ray encryption process, and MakeMKV cannot handle it. Only one is correct, and MakeMKV doesn't know which one, so it wants to do them all. The scenes are all out of order for 299 of them. Most of the time there's like 300 versions of the film that it wants to import. However, the deal-breaker is that it only works with about 15-25% of discs I've tried. It's not the most intuitive process and I wish you could pick other outputs, but it's all we've got. I get a nice gigantic mkv file that I can convert to a better (smaller) format. All features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during BETA.Functionality to open DVD discs is free and will always stay free.No additional software is required for conversion or decryption.Fast conversion - converts as fast as your drive can read data.Preserves all meta-information (track language, audio type).Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio.Reads Blu-ray discs protected with latest versions of AACS and BD+.

There are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms, and there are tools to convert MKV files to many formats, including DVD and Blu-ray discs.Īdditionally MakeMKV can instantly stream decrypted video without intermediate conversion to a wide range of players, so you may watch Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS or on your favorite device. The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. It converts the video clips from the proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way. MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called 'transcoder'. MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into a free and patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere.
