Reviews of top Mac Blu-ray Ripper software
It’s much easier to choose a Blu-ray Ripper tool for Windows than for Macintosh.

2. MakeMKV for Mac – fast and lossless Blu-ray to MKV solution on Mac
Reviews
Unlike Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper for Mac, MakeMKV does one thing--- ripping DVDs and BDs to MKV format--- and does it well. By copying and packaging Blu-ray streams to MKV container format MakaMKV offers lossless Blu-ray movie to Mac backup solution. MakeMKV does not transcode/convert Blu-ray contents, it just copies and seals selected streams to MKV. So you get lossless Blu-ray movie on Mac at fast speed, since encoding Blu-ray high-def contents is time-consuming. Yet you must have a very fast computer to support FULL HD Blu-ray playback.
Highlights
- Reads Blu-ray discs protected with latest versions of AACS and BD+
- Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio
- Preserves chapters information
- Preserves all meta-information (track language, audio type)
- Converts as fast as your drive can read data.
Availability
$50 only for Blu-ray ripping feature (DVD ripping free), and 30 days of free trial offered at http://www.makemkv.com/.
Reviews
Mac Blu-ray Ripper Pro offers easiest way ripping Blu-ray movie to Mac hard drive. Actually there are only two buttons on the interface of the software. You click the “Rip” button and wait, and that’s all. This Mac Blu-ray decrypting software does no more than copying Blu-ray movie to Mac HDD. It does not allow you to choose Titles and streams like Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper for Mac and MakeMKV does. Everything in the disc will be copied to your computer. Again you need a pretty fast computer to play the movie (BDMV directory) properly.
Highlights
- Reads movie from protected Blu-ray discs
- Fully backs up Blu-ray movies to Mac HDD
- Fool operation
