Handbrake Alternative: Rip DVD to Galaxy S5 on PC/Mac

Description: This guide helps you to convert commercial DVDs to MP4 format with multiple audio tracks, so that you can playback the movie on Galaxy S5 with different languages.

As the next flagship smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S5 has attracted lots of attentions from fans all over the world. It claimed to be equipped with an astonishing Eye Scanner (IRIS scanning), a curved display similar to existing Galaxy Round, which one of Apple iPhone or other smartphone does not have.

There have been so many rumors about this new smartphone, like will it equip a flexible round screen? Is it coming with a 64-bit processor? Will it be weather and dust-proof? Or about the super-sensitive new camera on board, etc.

As I decided to preorder a Galaxy S5 long ago, I've also designed what I would do with it. It can't be cooler to take this Galaxy out and enjoy DVD movies on the way to work, especially rainy days. Although Samsung has not revealed the specification of S5, we should think of that it won't be designed with a port for DVD drive. Hence for people who also want to watch DVD movies on S5, we do have this problem: how to transfer my DVD collections to Galaxy S5 on PC or Mac?

After spending several days trawling on the Internet, I found a free workflow with Handbrake –a software that rips DVD to various formats including the MP4 that Galaxy S-series accept. (See Samsung Galaxy S5/S4/S3/S2/S Best Supported Video Format)

However, what I really want to keep is the audio tracks out of this movie. For some reason, I'd prefer to obtain both German and English of original movie so that I can switch the language when playback, which Handbrake doesn't do.

That's the reason why I chose Pavtube ByteCopy as an alternative of Handbrake.



Pavtube ByteCopy is a professional multi-track DVD ripping tool to roll off commercial disc protection and convert it to MP4 format that Galaxy S5 supports. It has a very easy-to-use interface and I don't need to change any of the specs.

Tips: Mac version is available here; well support Mac 10.9: ByteCopy for Mac

HiMedia 900B is a conventional specialist Media Player which supports all file formats including 3D movies. With it and a HDMI cable, you can watch most videos on TV without format problems.

HiMedia Supported Formats:

Video: RM/RMVB, H.264, VC1, WMV, MPEG 1/2/4, MP4, DIVX, XVID, BDMV, BD-ISO, MKV, TS, M2TS, MTS, FLV, AVI, DVD-ISO, VOB, MPG, DAT, ASF, TP, TRP, SWF, 3D-SBS, VCD, DVD, AVCHD, MINIBD, RBD, BD-3D, 3D BD-ISO, FRAME PACKED 3D

Audio: FLAC, APE, LC-AAC, HE-AAC, MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AC3, DTS, DTS-HD MA, TRUEHD, CD

Although it supported Blu-rays natively, it's still not a good idea to take out Blu-ray discs frequently due to scratch issues. Also, as I own a large collection of Blu-rays, I also built a home NAS with large storage, so the file size is not the case. Like I said, generally I just want a tool that can backup Blu-rays to MKV without quality loss on Mac.



So I started to search online for an ideal tool. However, it's rather disappointing that most ripping software simply compress my Blu-ray to MKV container format with codec like H.264, AVC, ect., the converted video is downsized which doesn't work for me. At last one of my colleague recommended Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac and wow, it works like a charm! It's so easy to use, converts very fast and output lossless videos. 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 (BD drive is 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 for HiMedia 900B and keep multi-track?

Step 1. Launch Pavtube ByteCopy 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-rays 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; transfer them to your hard drive and connect it to HiMedia, now you can enjoy Blu-ray movies on TV without quality loss!
