Start to Rip Blu-ray to U Disc

Following the steps below to backup Blu-ray to digital files to store on U Disc. The Windows and Mac version products have the same steps to rip Blu-ray to U Disc but the snapshots below are only from Windows version.

Step 1. Run Pavtube ByteCopy, and click “Load from Disc” button to import movie files from copy-protected Blu-ray Disc. Any Blu-ray discs can be loaded including Blu-ray encoded with AVC and VC-1.

Step 2: In the dropdown list of Format menu, you can find several options for output. Here we recommend “Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV (* mkv)” under “Multi-track Video” catalogue. Because it will save multiple video, audio and subtitle tracks form original Blu-ray in output MKV and you won’t suffer any quality loss.

Note: In default settings, all the tracks are checked for output mkv files. If you wan to uncheck the unnecessary track, click “Settings” on the interface to get it done.

Step 3. Click the “Convert” button to start backing up Blu-ray movie to lossless MKV files. In this way Pavtube ByteCopy extracts the main movie with all subtitles and audio tracks from disc and seals the contents into MKV container without transcoding, which means you get lossless quality MKV files. 1080p HD video stream, TrueHD and DTS-MA 7.1 audio tracks and PGS subtitles are retained without quality loss. After conversion you may click “Open Output Folder” to find generated MKV files.
