When comes to movies, Blu-ray movies must be the queen due to its high definition. Some people prefer to buy movies on physical media, versus electronic only. But there are also some people who enjoy the benefits that come from having an electronic version of the movie. So when you have a large Blu-ray collection, how to create digital version of Blu-ray discs? Here instructs you the detail steps.

Part 1: Prepare for Blu-ray digital version creation

Get hardware: 

To create your own digital version of a Blu-ray movie, you’ll first need a Blu-ray drive for your computer. There are many out there to choose from, and I’m sure they’re all basically the same.

Get Blu-ray Ripper: 

Once you have the drive, you need a tool to get the movie’s data onto your hard drive, and then some way to convert that data into a more-usable file size. I’m aware of only one way to get the movie data off a Blu-ray drive, and that’s via an app called Pavtube BDMagic.<review>

– Rip Blu-ray to H.265, MP4, MKV, MOV, M3U8, AVI, FLV, etc.
– Convert Blu-ray to optimized preset for iPhone, iPad, PS4, Surface Pro 4, Android tablet, etc.
– 1:1 backup Blu-ray with original video structure 
– Directly backup main title of Blu-ray
– Adjust A/V codec, size, bitrate, etc and display aspect ratio.

Install and launch the Blu-ray ripper on your computer. Insert Blu-ray disc into your Blu-ray drive. Click “file” to load source movie from disc.
