Best (3D) Blu-ray Ripper and Copier: Easily Convert Blu-ray to Smart TV/Apple TV 3/3D TV

By -


You’ve seen a few guides around on ripping DVDs, but fewer for (3D)Blu-rays, and many miss what I believe are important steps (such as ensuring the correct foreign language subtitles are preserved!) 

Purpose 

The purpose of this guide is to share the knowhow of video encoding so you can create a backup copy of your own Blu-ray Discs and watch your movies on a wider range of devices that doesn’t support or have a Blu-ray Disc drive using almost only free/libre software.Format goals 

MKV AVCHD – format for most Smart TVs. 
M4V AVCHD – for iTunes / Apple TV 3. 
MKV AVCHD SBS 3D – for SBS compatible hardware, software and Smart TVs. 

With the right software, hardware, and understanding of the issues, you can free video from a Blu-ray disc to be used any way you choose.System Requirements 

Windows: I’m running all this software on Windows 8.1 x64 
OS X: Yosemite on a MacBook Pro Retina 
A Blu-ray Disc Drive: I’m using a USB External Blu-ray Disc Drive, there are plenty of those in Amazon 

Free disk space: at last 50GiB 

Source: The Blu-ray Disc title I’m using for this guide is “Thor: The Dark World (2013)” which is a 3D Blu-ray I own.Tools You Need 

Yes, there are plenty of tools that can achieve the same goals with a single click, but this guide is designed to give you full control over every single step of the encoding process, achieve higher quality, get smaller and more compatible files, and guarantee to work great on any Smart TV, Apple TV, XBMC, Stereoscopic Player, PowerDVD, etc. showing perfect results and quality. 

Unlike other Blu-ray ripping software, the one you need is named Pavtube Bytecopy. At first, it’s designed specially for users to rip and copy (3D)Blu-ray Disc and DVD movie to lossless MKV for backup. Besides mkv, you can also encode BD/DVD to multi-track MP4/MOV/AVI format. What’s more, it can convert Blu-ray/DVD to any video format you like for playback on various mobile tablet or smartphone with best video quality. 

Best of all, 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. The mac version is ByteCopy for Mac.
