This is a thorough hands-on review on the best Blu-ray Ripper for Mac of how to backup BD contents to external hard drive, or watch on tablets on the subway with subtitles.
Q: I needed a sw to backup mu BR collection and to transfer some contents on my tablet, mostly BR additional contents that i transfer to my tablet to watch it on the subway while i'm going to work. I was wondering whether there is a program could allow me do this? I'd prefer to convert these BRDs to h.264 for ipad or Xvid for Kindle Fire (HD) for enjoying. Any insights?"

I'd love to share my experience with you guys. After googling to search the word: transfer video from blu ray, convert blu ray to ipad, extract video with subtitles (Subtitle was in my search because was one of my first needs), I met this BDMagic for Mac.

I downloaded a trial version some months ago and liked it, after some time of tryouts to see if it was right for my needs i purchased it. i am able to transfer contents with subtitles, which was a features i did not found in anther sw, or i did not find simply in other software UI, it is simple to use.

This best Blu-ray Ripper for Mac can rolls off Blu-ray/DVD disc protection, supports loseless 1:1 Blu-ray backup and keeps all the disc titles and chapter structure perfectly.

Don't you like to have a try?

Here is a guide for Mac users: How do I Back up and Burn a Blu-ray with Mac?

How to BD contents (mostly additional contents) with subtitles to Tablet for watching on the subway

At first, keep your Mac networked to insure the software will handle Blu-ray copy-protections.

Step 1. Run Best Blu-ray Ripper for Mac and import disc.

Click this icon to load disc from ROM, IFO/ISO or folder. I also noticed if you have a ISO file to import, it will recognize the ISO file automatically with no need to run virtual driver and mount ISO files firstly. Good design.



Notes:
  • Select the movie title you want to convert, and preview the file you just selected from the BD movie in the preview window if you want.
  • Select wanted subtitles and audio track if necessary. 

Step 2. Choose format.

Click "Format" drop-down list and choose proper format for different using.

For instance, if you simply want to back up Blu-ray to external hard drive, here are two solutions:

1. Click the "computer" icon on the top to output 1:1 Blu-ray file exactly the same as original.

2. Select "Copy>Directly Copy" in format list to output an intact m2ts file of the main title.

directly copy

For people who want to watch Blu-ray movies on Tablet, you can choose "Common Video> H.264 Video(*.mp4)", it's well compatible with most Apple/Android/Windows devices.

Step 3. Change video specs. (Optional)

If you are not satisfied with default specs, then click "Settings" to enter Profiles Settings windows. You can customize video frame rate, bitrate, size and other settings freely.

(It does not work for directly copy)

Step 4. Add External Subtitles (srt/ass/ssa) 

If you want to trim, crop, edit audio/subtitles of the source video, just click the pencil-like icon on the top to enter video editor.

Click "Edit" button on the interface to find "Subtitle" option, check "Enable" then go to "Browse" to find your download subtitles in srt format. Click "OK" button to load the subtitles. Please note that subtitle in SRT/ASS/SSA format can be supported.



Step 5.  Start conversion.

Click the big red "Convert" to start backing up or converting your Blu-rays. Usually backup will be quicker because it does not need to do trancoding.

After the conversion, click "Open output folder" to quick locate converted files. Connect your tablet to computer and transfer them into it. Now the subtitle has become a part of converted mp4 movies, you can totally enjoy the movies on your tablet with subtitles on the subway. Just download the program to have a try. You will love it.

    How to perfect home video editing workflow with 5D mark III mov files

    Does some Video Editor support ALL-I .mov video files from Canon 5D Mark III? If you want to edit or play 5D3 H.264 mov files, you have to convert mov to compatible MP4 format.
    I have been an amateur photographer for 30 years and recently retired so am now able to spend more time on my main hobby of photography. I recently purchased a Canon 5D Mark III and while my main interest is photography and travelling, I am now starting to also use the video functionality with this DSLR camera.

    I am taking some family and holiday videos at 1920 x 1080 at 24fps with compression ALL-I. When I exported the .mov files from my camera to AVS Video Editor, while the software would play the files, it could not convert or edit them. (As for me, AVS Video Editor is my preferrable editing software to help me trim out of focus portions or other unwanted footage and add transitions or text. After editing my mov videos from Canon 5D Mark III, I can give copies to family members and retain as a personal archive.)


    After searching, I get these info: ALL-I stands for "Intra-coded Frame, the Intraframe (ALL-I) compression format is designed for users working in high-end editing systems or those looking for the highest quality possible. And 5D Mark III cameras record movies using the H.264 codec in the .mov container.

    Maybe the ALL-I compression type within this codec is too high for some Editors to support. Then I'm looking for the best software to convert Canon 5D Mark iii mov files to mp4 for editing. I did some reading in forums and a number of people recommended Pavtube HD Converter from first-hand experience. I didn’t realise at the time that you also have another product Video Converter Ultimate which may have suited me better. (As it can deal with Blu-ray and DVD disc as well)

    Previously I have been using AVS Video Converter and Video Editor for a number of years but when I purchased my camera recently I found AVS could not convert Canon mov files to mp4 or edit them. I like the availability of Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to convert and merge all files into one to expedite editing. The conversion speed is excellent. With it, I can effortlessly transcode Canon 5D Mark III mov files to MP4 format for editing.

    Overall, it is an all-in-all converter that can help all Windows users losslessly convert the HD footages and Blu-ray/DVD files to most popular video formats as well as importing MOV files from 5D Mark III to Pinnacle, Cyberlink, Sorenson Squeeze, Windows Movie Maker, AVS Video Editor etc. for editing. Besides, this smart converting program also provides users with useful editing functions and new features such as converting 2D videos to 3D, etc.

    Guide: Transcoding Canon 5D Mark III to MP4 for editing and sharing 

    Step 1: Add mp4 footage from MP4 file folder to ALL-I H.264 MOV converter. You can directly drag and drop video files to this software.



    Step 2: Choose best editing and playback format.

    Select HD Video -->H.264 HD Video(*.mp4) or MPEG-4 HD Video(*.mp4) on the dropdown menu as output format. Besides, you can also choose Divx HD(*.avi) or WMV HD(*.wmv) is also fit for importing or watching.



    Tips:
    1. Video Settings:

    You can adjust video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video and Audio, the Codec of Video and Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., in the Profile Settings.

    2. Edit videos as you like

    Find “Edit” icon and then click it, you will find video editor. There you can Trim, Crop, Add watermark and Effect. Above all, Subtitle can be added here.

    For creating customized subtitle, you can count on free software for subtitle editing: Subtitle Edit. Go to write the subtitle content there and it will be saved as SRT files, which is supported by Video Converter Ultimate. Then load it to the software for output videos and you will get a characteristic video.
    3. Convert videos to different formats

    Step 3: Hit "Convert" button to carry out the conversion process. When the conversion ends, you can import the resulted .mp4 files for playing or sharing easily.
