The Blu-ray ripper we will use is called Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper , which can rip and convert DVDs and Blu-Ray movies directly to any other formats, including HD video format. Now let's have a look at its operation steps.
Step 1: Download, install and launch Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper
Step 2: Load Blu-ray movie, select output format and set destination folder
There are three ways to importing Blu-ray movie, namely by pressing "DVD Rom", "DVD Folder", "IFO/ISO". As soon as Blu-ray files are loaded, now you can click the drop-down button of "Format" to select output format. In order to keep Blu-ray in high definition, here I choose "MKV HD Video" for example, so that the ripped files can be played via WD TV HD Media Player.
At the same time, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to indicate save path, of course, you can skip this step, because this program offers a destination folder set by default, if you do not specify, it will export files to this folder automatically. Moreover, if you want to play your files without intervals, you can check "Merge into one file" to combine multiple chapters to be one file.
Step 3: Set advanced settings
Besides this, you can also click "Settings" to adjust video and audio parameters to ensure the output HD quality. Changing video and audio codec, adjusting aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. are all available here.
Step 4: Ripping
Once all the above settings are completed, you can click "Convert" button to start Blu-ray ripping, and the output HD MKV files can be found by clicking on the button "Open". After that, you can copy these files to your USB, and plug in it to WD TV HD Media Player to enjoy via TV.
No.1 Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper
This ripper is the best one among all the splitters I have tested. It is an independent DVD and Blu-Ray ripper, and is capable of decrypting all sorts of DVDs and Blu-ray disks, unprotected and protected, without the support of third party software.
Moreover, it has a unique option called "Copy", through which you can directly backup your DVD .vob files and Blu-ray .m2ts files to the hard disk of your PC, and still in the format of .vob and .m2ts without any video loss. Besides this, it can rip and convert your Blu-ray movies and general DVDs into other popular audio and video formats like AVI, ASF, MPEG, MP4, WMV, MKV, MOV, FLV, SWF, RM, 3GP, AAC, AC3, MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, M4A, etc., so that you can playback them on your beloved portable players like iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Zune, Blackberry, PSP, Creative Zen, Xbox, etc.
Another difference among it and the latter three rippers lies in that it provides several editing options to users, like trim, crop, add special effect, add watermarks and so on, so that users can do simple editing on their original movies without using any other video editors.
Best of all, it is really affordable, just $49 US dollars, the cheapest of the four rippers.
