Want to enjoy all your Blu-ray movies through KDLinks media player in the best possible quality? With Pavtube BDMagic, you can easily backup Blu-ray into BDMV Folder for importing into KDLinks with high quality.

  

I got a kdlinks hd700 to replace my Apple TV for playing amlost every format including my Blu-Ray Video Files. It also supports Blu-Ray Navigation Menu, Multi Audio Channel Switch, Chapter Selction, Subtitle On/Off. However, this KDLinks media player supports BD-1.0 and 2D movies only. Is there any way to help me backup all my Blu-ray for loading into this KDLinks media player?

Introducing...

If you are looking for a media player which could play almost all formats (i.e. Blu-Ray ISO, Blu-Ray BDMV, DVD VOB, FLAC), KDLinks media player is your best choice. All models are built in WiFi (a/b/g/n) for easily video syncing.

Backup Blu-ray for loading into KDLinks media player
 
If you still prefer to use KDLinks Media Player, you'd better copy your Blu-ray movie to 
hard drive as Blu-ray folder with Pavtube BDMagic at first, and then you can use KDLinks Media Player to play the Blu-ray folder without buying another BD player. The video quality is just as the same as playing on Blu-ray Player.

Follow the steps below and you can to 
make 1:1 perfect-quality backup copies of all your Blu-ray movies onto hard disk and transfer them to KDLinks media player for enjoying.

Step 1.
Run Best Blu-ray Ripper and import disc.

Click “Load files” icon to load disc from BD drive or from “File menu > Load from disc”. I also noticed if you have a ISO file to import, it will recognize the ISO file automatically with no need to run virtual driver and mount ISO files firstly. Good design.

Once loaded, click “Browse” to specify where to send the generated files to. When ready, click “Copy the entire disc” icon to start copying your Blu-ray movie to an intact Blu-ray folder.
