I've just been wondering as of this week about the possibility of using Handbrake to effectively do the work of MakeMKV. Then there was a bit of bother with the free license key for the beta at about the same time I realised that the Linux version of Handbrake will rip DVDs with copy-protection.
Watching your Blu-Ray movies on mobile devices can be a hassle, but it's not impossible.I had ripped all my DVDs using MakeMKV, initially using the Windows version until I went pretty much Windows-free. MakeMKV and HandBrake are two fairly easy to use utilities that can help you rip Blu-ray disks and convert the videos to iOS or Android-compatible video formats. Whenever high-definition videos are concerned, Blu-ray disks seem to be the popular medium of choice for disseminating the data. However, the fact that you get to store more information on a disk does not cancel the same old problem: how can you back up the content in a less prone to destruction format?Īs of late, this issue is usually accompanied by the desire to access the contained media on all your devices, regardless of whether they can be connected to a Blu-ray player or whether they come with support for the original format or not. Noteworthy is that most commercially distributed disks include some type of copy protection system. Since the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act opposes the presumption of a “fair use” granted by most copyright laws, the final result is a legal gray area. The bottom line is that, if you want to copy the Blu-ray disk content to your Mac, you need to use an application that is able to bypass the protection system. Tools such as HandBrake (an open source project) are perfectly capable to read both DVDs and Blu-rays, besides converting videos to various formats, but they are not yet able to rip Blu-ray discs that are encrypted (commercial). Keep in mind that the DASPI component must also be installed on your Mac to be able to read unencrypted Blu-rays. On the other hand, MakeMKV, which is a commercial product, can handle the task flawlessly (it comes with a 30-day trial if you want to test it with your own Blu-ray discs).ĭASPI installer is included in the dmg package. Of course, there are many other software solutions out there that can help you rip and convert Blu-ray data.
