Ripping Blu-ray on Mac OS X finally made possible


Recommended Posts

It's finally possible to rip commercial Blu-ray discs under Mac OS X, thanks to a free application called MakeMKV.

General requirements

  • Mac computer with an Intel processor
  • Mac OS X v10.4 or later
  • Blu-ray optical drive connected through S-ATA

The application works by exporting video and audio tracks to a MKV-container. At the time of this writing it seems to work with most commercial Blu-ray discs except those secured with BD+. The exported files can be played with a media player like Plex. It doesn't feature the most aesthetically pleasing interface you'll find on Mac OS X, but it's better than nothing.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I thought I'd share this with you all. Windows and Linux versions also available.

Has anyone tried it? I don't think its worth wasting 8 hours ripping a BD on my whitebook lol

I agree, I will wait until there is an official Apple upgrade for Blu-ray.
