Watch DVD with QuickTime (version 10) on MacBook Pro
How to kill time when having a long flight? What about watch some movies using Quicktime on MacBook Pro? QuickTime Player (version 10) can play many media formats, including many that are no longer in common use. In OS X Mavericks and later, QuickTime Player converts certain older formats that it doesn’t play back directly. A window with a progress bar shows that the file is converting. But QuickTime Pro does not support ripping of DVDs. To watch DVD movies with QuickTime (version 10) and QuickTime Player 7 on MacBook Pro, you need to rip and convert DVD to QuickTime supported formats.
By ripping DVD, you can make 1920×1080 .mov files out of DVD movies for QuickTime (version 10) and QuickTime Player 7 playback on MBP. To save the hard space, you can store your DVD backups on a small SSD that you carry with you and backup to a raid in your house. Of course, you also can copy DVD to Thumb drive and a Mini External Hard Drive for convenient carry. In addition, commercial DVD has copyright protection so your DVD ripping tool need to be able to remove DVD copy protection.
