When building a media-center Mac, everyone has his optimal components and different set of requirements. Now that the new Mac Mini sports the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M as its integrated graphics chip, it is finally a true contender for the home media center space. After building up a Mac mini HTPC, most folks would download music, pictures, games, music and most important of all, their movie collections to the Mac Mini HTPC immediately.

Step 2. Specify an output folder to save BD or DVD movie.
Click “Browse” button and specify an output location. Make sure there is enough space for a whole BD movie (usually 25GB-50GB) when backing up Blu-ray disc to Mac.

Step 3. Back up Blu-ray/DVD for PLEX playback on Mac Mini HTPC.
Click on “Full Disc Copy” button to back up Blu-ray/ DVD movie to Mac. A 90 min. Blu-ray takes about 40 min to copy to Mac hard drive. After the process completes, you can get the final output files by clicking “Open” button.

Tips and Tricks:
1. Jerky playback? Try the latest version of PLEX media center, as it has getting the GPU acceleration for playing Blu-ray files (as long as NVIDIA GeForce is integrated). If this doesn’t work, try shrinking the Blu-ray M2TS to 1080p DivX AVI/ MKV/MOV/MP4 with Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac. The quality degradation is unconspicuous but with the file size down, the HD videos will be played back smoothly.
2. Wanna copy the M2TS/ VOB streams only without menus and ads? Make some changes in Step 3. Click on the “Format” bar and choose “Copy”>> “Directly Copy” mode, and then click “Convert” button to start conversion.
