Avid Media Composer is a non-linear editing system. The program allows you to import film, uncompressed standard definition and high definition video to edit. Sometimes, you maybe have the need to edit certain Blu-ray content in Avid Media Composer. But Avid Media Composer natively can’t accept Blu-ray video for the format incompatibility and Blu-ray copy protection technology. In this case, you have to consider ripping Blu-ray to Avid Media Composer friendly format with Blu-ray Ripper. 

 

Based on my experience, the easy-to-use and smart Pabtube BDMagic is a nice choice to get the footage from Blu-ray to Avid Media Composer for editing. It can backup Blu-ray to Avid Media Composer most compatible DNxHD, AVI, MP4 format without quality loss. By runing it, you don’t need to reset the codec yourself, the program has an optimized preset for Avid Media Composer. What’s more, it also can add DVD to Avid Media Composer by eliminating DVD copy protection and changing the format. 

It sweetly designs Mac version for Mac users: BDMagic for Mac. You can use this version to import Blu-ray to Avid Media Composer on Mac.
