How To: Play Ripped Blu-ray Discs On A Mac. Can Your Mac Handle Blu-ray?

[DavidSebua]

@OrganizedMatter hello I have a ripped Blu Ray movie which I want to play but I can not because in the streams folder there are more than a 100 m2ts files and every one of them is a short fragment of the movie (like 2 minutes), can you please explain why is my folder like this and also tell me how can maybe combine them into one file or something and I enjoy playing it like a full movie because I do not understand how will I ever be able to watch this 40gb movie if it is all fragmented like that

[mrpowers4667]

I think one of the first things to be mentioned before you even get to ANY of this, is people need to get an external Blu-ray drive. Or you will get flooded with even more questions than you probably should. Just my two cents.

[photocide1]

what do you mean by a ripped bluray disk, because i dont think macs play bluray (mine certainly doesnt :( ), and if you were just able to put in the disk and play it, is it because you have a bluray drive, and are there any solutions for computers with no bluray drives? thanks!

[buddy39914]

What about menus?

Is there something like Total Media Theatre for the Mac?

[DJTRANCE2011]

Know that Mac users notice that all Brand Laptops and Desktops have BLU-RAY BURNER want to know if your overpriced machines can read this Drives wow

[DJTRANCE2011]

It's a shame that Apple won't use Blu-Ray and you have to do a lot of prosedure or have an external blu-ray drive.

[charlieclairelost]

i have a imac using Leopard. i want to be able play & be able rip blue-ray. do u know any good external for blue-ray that doesn't cost over $500 dollars?

[strikerextreme]

danno. Its all about DXVA (HARDWARE ACCELERATION)IF U GOT A PC AFAT 2008 OR VIST U SHOULD HAVE A GPU OR ACCELTOR. DN MATTA ABOUT TY CPU. COZ MPC AND XBMC ALWAY LOOK FOR DXVA OPTION FIRST. AN GPU DECODES HD MINOR TING. THATS WAHT IT ABOUT.BASICALLY ASLONG AS U GOT SOME KIND OF GRAPHIC CHIP.URE GOOD

how do you rip a blu ray on your mac?

[Jwingnutt]

using this same method can we play blu ray files back on apple tv gen 1?

[ecnerwalgnay]

dude. enjoyed your video. you're a great teacher.

[skakky]

i have .iso blu ray image on my mac how can i play it?

[Abelmisi]

I own a 2.4 Ghz 2010 MBP outputting 1080p to an external monitor and with VLC the playback would hiccup here and there, the image would hang for a second or so or the audio would go... It made movie watching very frustrating. But with XMBC I haven't run into any problems yet, so there you go...

[CT9AII]

lol i knew XBMC way back ago but still to this day i dont know y but like i get glitches and stuff so when it come to main menu on XBMC i cant see anything like literally anything.....its all mushy and glitchy....any help??

[elngreo13]

macbook air?



[bumsex4me]

Did you use an external blu ray drive and what program did you rip this with?

[zstowasser]

Hi, I tried XBMC with Perian Installed - Still cannot open the m2ts file..

[drplbiftin]

turn your mic up

[treznor89]

Nice tutorial, thanks for posting it.

I was wondering if you had the chance to try out MakeMKV for ripping BluRay's, and if it's worth purchasing it. I really don't want to install Windows (at least not with BootCamp) just for ripping BluRay's. Can i use AnyDVD HD and rip my Blu-Ray's with VmWare Fusion or within Parallels? Btw, i have a 17" Intel Core i5 Macbook Pro with a 7200RPM HD.

[Dosferra]

Good work and thanks!

[Slash27015]

The known bare minimum hardware for 1080p video playback through XBMC is an Atom 1.6GHz processor with a NVIDIA ION GPU, and that is the known bare minimum, which all Apple Macbook has much better hardware than that

[thephams]

Could you share me the software to make this video (your desktop along with your talking) ?

[narinari218]

thanks! i was frustrated but now i can see blu ray on ma mac :) so happy

[KawazoeJapan]

Wow! You just saved my day! I got avatar (which is a 47.5 GB file) playing smoothly on the same system as yours ;)

[acmeservitronic]

hi , i'm using MBP 17 unibody, and i'm using the BD drive, but i followed your sted to watch BD movies, but can't work, i'm using the same XMBC player but can't work. and tried with 3 BD movies

[Facemash88]

I'm assuming you used an external BD drive to rip the bluray onto your mac? If so which external BD drive did you use?

Thanks

[tubegiapanta]

Is the video quality same as the Bluray quality you watch with Bluray player? or is it different. Looks like by ripping the Bluray Disk I can watch Bluray on my mac, but I wonder if quality is same as actual Bluray.

[OrganizedMatter]

@tubegiapanta - Assuming that you rip the Blu-Ray without compression you will experience full Blu-Ray quality. The only issue becomes your screen resolution. Your screen can only playback @ its native resolution. Which is often less then 1080P. You must use a screen with a minimum 1920X1080 resolution to experience full Blu-Ray.

[huffy15]

I tried to install Perian and I don't know how to link it to xbmc because right now theres no evolution nothing work still "...files failed"

[huffy15]

How did you opened the .m2ts file in xbmc. I've just download xbmc and it tell me that one files failed... Did you add any plugin to xbmc?

[OrganizedMatter]

I also have Perian installed. It acts as a decoder. It handles many popular video formats.

[janfans2009]

do you have any video tutorial of anydvd hd?

thanks a lot, great work

[OrganizedMatter]

Sorry. I don't have any tutorials of AnyDVD HD. I'm not using Windows too often anymore.

I may do one in the future if I have more time.

Thanks for the compliment.

[steiner123455800]

Thanks for your super fast response!

[OrganizedMatter]

no problem.

[steiner123455800]

can i use Anydvd HD on a windows pc that doesn't support blu ray discs?

[OrganizedMatter]

You could use it for regular DVDs. But you will need a blu ray drive in order to rip blu rays.

[janfans2009]

thanks for your answer, I have been using makemkv but I have problems downloading subtiles from my blurays, have u tried that?

[OrganizedMatter]

I have never attempted to save subtitles via makemkv. If you have a Windows machine or Parallels (on your Mac) you can use AnyDVD HD.

[janfans2009]

Hello, how did you make ur .iso in your mac??

thanks

[OrganizedMatter]

I made my .iso on my PC. Using Anydvd HD. You can do this on your Mac using Parallels or Boot Camp. Unfortunately there is no Anydvd HD for Mac.

[janfans2009]

Great video, Whats the best way to make the copy of my bluray in mac?, thanks a lot....

[OrganizedMatter]

Try an app called "makemkv" (one word).

There is a Mac version.

[AugieMendoza]

Awesome video! I copy my BDs with AnyDVD too... the only difference is when I get back to the Mac side of things... I'll copy over the m2ts file to my Drobo with 8TB (cause like you said... those files are large!!!) and encode them for AppleTV and iPhone versions... I end up with 3 files, all great quality! and yeah... XBMC is sweet... 1080p not so much on the Mac Mini with Intel graphics... but smooth on the Macbook Pro with 9400M...

[OrganizedMatter]

Glad to hear that you have also had success! 8TB! That's impressive.

Thanks for watching and commenting.
