Review: ByteCopy for Mac – An Alternative to Mac MakeMKV?

To backing up your favourite Blu-rays, we need the help of Blu-ray ripping software. Still have no idea about which one is suitable for you? This article will introduce you Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac- as an Alternative to Mac MakeMKV. MakeMKV for Mac has been considered as one of the best Mac Blu-ray Ripper apps. It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted)DVD and Blu-ray disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way.

The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. A most preferable feature of MakeMKV is fast conversion – it converts as fast as your drive can read data, and takes about only 1 hour to copy a Blu-ray to Mac HDD comparing with 2-8 hours with other Mac Blu-ray rippers/transcoders.

The MakeMKV for Mac, by any means, is a nice choice for BD ripping on Mac. Can we expect a more considerable Mac Blu-ray ripper than MakeMKV? Well, YES. The release of Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac lets us see alternative to MakeMKV for Mac– it has all the features MakeMKV has and does even more with less steps.

Key Features of Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac

• Backup Blu-ray/DVD to MP4/MOV formats preserving multi-track (Guide)
• Output soft subtitles making it possible to turn on/off in players
• Keep the original chapter markers in a converted movie title
• Remove unwanted audio tracks and subtitles streams
• Produce a decent 1080p MKV file in the original 16:9 ratio from BD movie
• Cracks Blu-ray discs with latest versions of AACS and BD+ protections
• Bypasses DVD copy-protections like CPRM, CPPM, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, RipGuard, FluxDVD, CORE X2, etc.
• Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio (TrueHD, DTS-MA)
• Transcodes VC-1 encoded Blu-ray contents to H.264 encoded MKV files
• Converts HD audio (TrueHD,DTS-MA) to more acceptable AC-3 and DTS 5.1 audio when it necessary.
• Copy/Backup BD/DVD as fast as your drive can read data when lossless output is selected.
• Added 3D profiles in Format menu. (Side-by-Side, Top-Bottom, or Anaglyph 3D in MKV/MP4/MOV/WMV/AVI)
• Resumed subtitle output feature to Format menu.

Now you see the difference between MakeMKV for Mac and ByteCopy for Mac. MakeMKV does lossless Blu-ray/DVD to MKV backup only while ByteCopy not only copy BD/DVD to MKV, but also allows for transcoding. The best part is that it transcodes video stream, audio track and subtitle stream separately . You can keep original video quality and meanwhile convert the TrueHD audio to Dolby Digital 5.1 audio when/if your device does not support 7.1 channels, or shrink the BD contents to videos with lower bitrate to ensure they are played properly on a slow computer or older media player. Like MakeMKV, the ByteCopy is also easy of use.

Converting a DVD/ Blu-ray Disc is a simple 3-step process. And you can make it a 2-step process by a settled preference.
