Hello, I have a problem. I'm trying to rip my blueray disc into my iPhone, but it has copy protection so that handbrake cannot handle it. Does someone know any good accessible software? I tried makemkv but it is not accessible. thanks

Not A Discussion for AppleVis
Hello Techluver,
Unfortunately, given that breaking copy protection on a blueray disc is likely to be illegal, this is not a topic that can be discussed on AppleVis.

That's a bit harsh
Hi Michael. It is of course your call, but this seems a bit harsh considering that I'm sure ripping normal DVDs has been discussed here plenty of times and the legal position is the same in both cases. Although there is no clear directive, it is generally considered to be legal as long as it is for your own use, and not for sharing / piracy.
Techluver, might I recommend the Mac Observer's "Mac Geek Gab" podcast, I remember them discussing this not too long ago, or contact them if you can't find the episode.
Michael & AppleVis team, apologies if you'd rather I didn't even share that much info and feel free to remove my comment, but hopefully that's not necessary. :)
I've got this same question too
i've got the same query, as makeMKV isn't accessible under macOS. I have several blu-ray titles that i'd like to rip and/or even extract with dvd audio extractor, but i don't want to risk the health/life of my computer by having to boot into windows just to do one simple task. I mean, I bought a Mac, I think i should be able to use it to do whatever I Need to do. Plus, DVD audio extractor doesn't support some blu-rays due to encryption causing me to have to boot into windows anyway so...Any ideas? Thanks!
