Multi-track Blu-ray Ripper Buyer’s Guide: ByteCopy vs MakeMKV vs DVDFab
Since the tools used in Blu Ray back-ups are updating so frequently, I figured another guide couldn’t hurt. My personal philosophy on back-up copies is that if the original disc had it, I want to have it on the back-up (at least as far as the main movie is concerned.) With that in mind, I have tested and compared many Blu-ray Rippers then finally focused on some multi-track Blu-ray Rippers to rip Blu-ray keeping all the language (dubs) and subtitles found on the original disc. Of course, if you just want the main movie and one audio stream, that’s even easier with these top-ranked Blu-ray ripping tools.
Table of the Top-ranked Blu-ray Rippers I focused
MakeMKV – A quick, easy and free way to rip DVDs and Blu-ray discs . With a single click, the app can create high quality MKV files
Pavtube ByteCopy – Excels at ripping, decrypting and copying BDs. It saves what’s on the Blu-ray to a .mkv file in lossless quality and outpus MP4/MOV/AVI with multi-track subtitle and audio.
DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper – A software package that easily rips, decrypts and copies Blu-ray discs, DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper is an excellent choice.

All the other programs I used where either very slow, didn’t take the movie off in lossless quality or couldn’t get the information off the disc. ByteCopy always gets the movie off the disc in lossless quality with no hassles. I also get to choose the subtitles and the audio channels and I get all the chapters as well which I love. It does exactly what I want it to do and it does it efficiently and effortlessly. Overall I enjoy the functionality, simplicity and the efficiency of ByteCopy. I enjoy using the program.
