Part II: Backup 2014 Hottest Movies to Mac with all audio tracks and subtitle streams

With the top 10 Hottest Movies above upcoming, more and more office workers want to buy their favorite ones in Blu-ray/DVDs for watching at home or sharing with friends and family. However, it's still not a good idea to take out Blu-ray/DVD discs frequently due to scratch issues, which means you can search for an ideal tool that can backup Blu-rays/DVDs to MKV without quality loss on Mac for freely movie entertainment whenever and wherever you want.

It's rather disappointing that most ripping software simply compress Blu-ray/DVD to MKV container format with codec like H.264, AVC, ect., the converted video is downsized which doesn't works well. Here I recommended you to take a look at Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.

I have tried it and wow, it works like a charm! It's so easy to use, converts very fast and output lossless videos, with all audio tracks and subtitle streams keeping! Below is my workflow on Mac.

Required Tool:
Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac | Review

Operation system:

  • Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion, Snow Leopard 10.6. 
  • 1G Hz or above Intel processor. 
  • 1GB physical RAM (memory) or above. 
  • 1024*768 or higher resolution display. 
  • Optical Drive: DVD drive for ripping DVD and BD drive required for ripping Blu-ray disc
Tips:

1. There's 6 times limitation if you use the trial version to output lossless MKV files;
2. This program also has a Windows version which works for Windows 8.1/Windows 8/Windows 7/Windows Vista/2003/XP find the ByteCopy (windows) here.

How to lossless backup Blu-ray to MKV with keeping multi-track and subtitles?

Step 1. Launch Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac and load disc.

Firstly you need an external blu-ray drive; there's no special requirements of the drive model as long as it's supported by your Mac.

Click the top left icon and it will detect the inserted Blu-ray disc, click disc name to load them.


Step 2. Choose lossless format.

Click "Format" list and select "Multi-track Video>Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV(*.mkv)" as below.

Step 3. Adjust V/A settings.

Click "Settings" to enter Multi-track video profile window; switch to "Video" and find the "Encode" box which is unchecked by default, so if you want a lossless MKV copy, do not touch it.


The switch to "Audio", check wanted audio track; so does the "Subtitles".


Step 4. Start backing up Blu-ray/DVD to lossless MKV

Click the big "Convert" to start the conversion. It takes about 40 mins for my Macbook to backup a Blu-ray disc, but the conversion speed also depends on your computer configuration. My suggestion is not to play or edit videos when it's converting. After conversion, click "Open" or "Open output folder" to quick locate converted files.

Ok now the lossless MKV files are prepared and you can enjoy Blu-ray/DVD movies on any portable device and media players without quality loss!
