However, at the fist time I was in the dilemma of how to convert my DVD and Blu-ray collections to MP4 so that it could be accepted by my Asustor AS-302T NAS. I used to use Leawo, but it stopped using for they stole MakeMKV code. Although there are many format converters on the market, I wan to pay for a worthy program. After searching on Internet, a blog named "Top 5 best Blu-ray Ripper Review" enlightened my way. This article lists top 5 best Blu-ray Ripper programs review during 2013 to 2014 according to Google Ranking and user popularity.

Do you want to make Blu-ray portable on Apple devices? Want to preserve forced subtitles of Blu-ray on iTunes? This article mainly introduces the way to sync Blu-ray movies to iTunes.

Blu-ray HD movies can give you great detail and sharpest bright colors. There are no details that can escape from HD movies even an aging actress's wrinkle. When you already have a Blu-ray, most of you are not willing to repurchase it with ridiculous prices from iTunes. But Blu-ray cannot be played directly on your Apple devices like iPhone, iPod, iPad, iPad Mini or Apple TV because of lacking Blu-ray player. How to make Blu-ray portable with Apple devices? The answer is to rip Blu-ray to iTunes compatible videos so you can transfer them to your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or stream to Apple TV etc for playback.

What you need is a professional Blu-ray Ripper that can help you to remove the protection of Blu-ray and then convert to iTunes supported videos formats like MP4, MOV etc with outstanding video quality.

Moreover, you can choose the desired subtitle for output and select forced subtitles for some unknown languages. Now let's go to learn how to do it.

How to convert Blu-ray to iTunes with forced subtitles for iPad, iPhone, iPod and Apple TV?

Get your Blu-ray drive ready and insert Blu-ray you need to the drive. And keep networked when ripping Blu-ray.

Tips: If you are running on Mac, please try BDMagic for Mac.

Step 1. Load Blu-ray to Blu-ray to iTunes Converter.

Run the best Blu-ray to iTunes Converter, click "Load file" button to select the inserted Blu-ray and import it for transferring to iTunes. It will take only few seconds to rip Blu-ray. Then the software will recognize the actual main title of Blu-ray and pick it automatically. You do not need to look for the main title manually.

Press the selected main title you can preview the whole Blu-ray movies on the preview window on the right, which works like a media player.



Step 2. Check forced subtitles for output.

Because Blu-ray always contains multiple subtitle and audio tracks, you can go to choose the desired subtitle and audio on the interface for output.

Beside subtitles option, "Forced subtitle" is optional and uncheck by default. Go to check "Forced subtitles" for output. Take note that it will output forced subtitles only if it is checked.

Step 3. Choose iTunes compatible format for Apple devices.

Choose the iTunes supported formats in the "Format" dropdown list. You can go to "Common Video" or "HD Video" options to find what you like. I think MP4 format is better for iTunes.

But, here you are recommended to choose the Apple devices like iPad, iPone, Apple TV, etc directly. Find a suitable format under these Apple devices options.

Tips: For some advances users, you can go to adjust video and audio parameters like bitrate, resolution, channels, etc. Click "Settings" button you can go to check and change them as you like.

Step 4. Convert Blu-ray to iTunes.

Before conversion you can go to "Browse" your computer to find the folder for output files. Then click "Convert" button to get Blu-ray to iTunes conversion started. After a while, you can find the generated file for iTunes quickly via "Open" button.

Now open your iTunes and then sync the ripped Blu-ray movies to iTunes library for convenient playback on Apple devices. In this way, you can enjoy your favorite Blu-ray with forced subtitles on your iPad/iPhone/iPod wherever you are.

Top 2. Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper

Price: $49

The good: When it comes to decrypting/hacking Blu-ray discs and DVDs, Aiseesoft is about as good as it gets. Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper well deserves its high reputation in decryption, and it handles not only AACS, BD+, Region code restriction, but also Cinavia protected Blu-rays. By taking advantage of CUDA accelerating, the conversion time is greatly shorted. If you want to rip a Blu-ray to MKV and keep 2 audio language and external subtitles, Aiseesoft would be your choice.

The bad: It is lacking of DVD ripping feature. It does not support AMD APP encoding. The interface is not very intuitive. And Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper costs more than its alternatives.

The bottom line: Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper decrypts and rips Blu-ray title to various video files playable on next generation consoles.

No. 3. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper

Price: $44.95

The good: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper comes with the popular feature to convert 2D to 3D. It can load multiple Blu-ray and DVD movies at a time. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper has stunning trim and crop feature- it trims movie more accurate and crops video more considerate than its competitors. If you have tons of movies waiting to rip and feel like having a Blu-ray Ripper queue them several movies for running overnight, Leawo is recommended.

The bad: Not recognizing Blu-ray ISO or forced subtitle (if there is). GPU encoding is restricted to Nvidia's CUDA only. There's no backup option for keeping original movie quality.

The bottom line: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is a nice tool for DVD and Blu-ray ripping.

Editors' note: We noticed that audio quality is noticeably degraded when ripping Blu-ray with Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.

No. 4. Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper

Price: $49.95

  

The good: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper can convert both standard Blu-ray videos and 3D Blu-ray videos to SD and HD video formats such as MKV, AVI, WMV, TS, etc. And it can preserve 3D effects when your source is 3D Blu-ray movie. NVIDIA CUDA and AMD APP graphic acceleration technology has been introduced to bring faster conversion experience.

The bad: The app does not decrypt Blu-ray protections and requires AnyDVD HD to be installed in advance for Blu-ray ripping. DVD ripping is not supported.

The bottom line: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper does not rip movies from Blu-ray Disc, but if you have had the Blu-ray cracked and saved onto computer hard drive, this tool would be helpful and useful for you to enjoy movies on iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Xbox, Zune, NDS, Wii, and 3D smartphones.

Editors' note: This tool is not recommended unless when you want to convert 3D Blu-ray and keep 3D effect.

No. 5 Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper

Price: $45.95

 

The good: By taking advantage of AMD APP, Intel Quick Sync Video and NVIDIA CUDA technology, Aimersoft Blu-ray ripper converts movies faster and saves your time. It rips Blu-ray/DVD into almost all popular video formats (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc) and features versatile format templates for smartphones, game consoles and MP3 players. Its “Backup” function let users envelop a whole Blu-ray movie into a MKV/DVD into VOB without quality loss. If you’re looking for a way putting movies onto a HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, or Motorola smartphone, the Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is worth checking out.

The bad: It does not support Blu-ray ISO or BDMV structure. There’s no option for preserving only forced subtitles. Most Blu-ray Discs are not loading to the software.

The bottom line: Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper handles DVD ripping as good as any other rippers, but the company really needs to work hard and step forward in Blu-ray Disc cracking. Other than that, Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is impressively fast and helpful.

Editors' note: It seems that Aimersoft does not handle Blu-ray AACS and BD+ encryption properly and the software keeps popping up a message that we should contact customer support during our testing- the customer support staff offers but apologize though.

Here comes up a step-by-step workflow of ripping Blu-rays to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for playing freely.

Step 1. Load Blu-ray content.

Connect external Blu-ray drive with your computer. Install and open Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, click "Load file(s)" icon to load Blu-ray directly from the disc. The Main Title of a Blu-ray disc is checked by default.

Select wanted subtitles and audio track if necessary.

Step 2. Choose the output format.

Click "Format" bar and move mouse to "Samsung" column, you can easily find the video preset of "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1(*.mp4)". The output videos could fit on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 perfectly. 

Step 3. If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video codec, resolution, bitrate, frame rate, etc. as you wish.

For watching videos on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, 720p with 2000kbps is just all right.



Step 4: After above settings, click on "Convert" button to rip Blu-rays to MP4 for Galaxy Tablet 2 10.1.
