You get a one-month period that allows you to use the program to rip Blu-ray discs for free and then you will have to pay for the Blu-ray ripping service. The program works great in ripping Blu-ray/DVD discs despite the fact that it's just a beta version. And the program's been in beta forever and it seems that the program will remain in beta for a long time in the foreseeable future. There's a beta version of the program that allows you to rip DVD and Blu-ray for free. MakeMKV is a powerful piece of Blu-ray/DVD ripping software that can rip your Blu-ray and DVD discs. How to rip DVD with a MakeMKV alternative.It’s not something I need and others who are doing Blu-Ray burning probably aren’t using it either but they probably also use Windows programs instead even if they’re mainly Mac users. It is an expensive program for what it does but it is one of the few out there. Toast has had a lot of negative reviews for some time. I haven’t used Toast for some time since programs like Burn work well for CD’s and some DVD work. But if you (or anyone else here) have used the current version, I would love to hear your opinion. The last time I used it was a long time ago - I found its DVD authoring capabilities at the time to be minimal, but acceptable. Whether you consider Toast to be “decent” is something I’m not going to comment on, because I don’t have enough experience to have an opinion. (Note, however, that the less expensive “Titanium” release does not include Blu-Ray authoring capabilities - it can only author DVDs.) It is not free ($150 MSRP, currently discounted to $120), but the product page says it can author Blu-Ray discs. You will waste some of the disc space probably but single-sided Blu-Ray discs are not that expensive but double-sided are a bit more last time I checked. If you’re only placing one video file or movie without any menus on a Blu-Ray disc, then tsMuxerGUI is all you need. But since I decided to keep a VMWare Fusion Windows partition on my Mac, I will use that instead next time I need it. I have an old Windows laptop I’ve used to do the authoring and then bring the files to the Mac for disc burning. It took me enough time over the years to rip my CD’s and digitize some records/tapes.įinding good Blu-Ray authoring software for Mac is a different issue as there is not a decent piece of software like multiAVCHD which is for Windows.


That software is updated consistently as well as MakeMKV which I’ve used only a little since I don’t want to bother copying a lot of discs just to be on a server. The article you mentioned is one I’ve used and posted previously in another forum in regards to using tsMuxerGUI to utilize high definition video files to make a Blu-Ray video disc capable of playing in regular players as well as computer drives. Mac OS does have the ability to read and write Blu-Ray data discs as that’s built into the Finder.
