Solutions to watch Blu-ray movies on Mac and WD TV

Not an easy thing for Mac users to play back Blu-ray movies, even they are your personal purchasing. I’ve summarized three ways that Mac users have usually used to playback Blu-ray movies as following. Frankly speaking, the former two solutions seems a little troublesome, personally, I prefer the last one.

Solution 1: With the help of AnyDVD HD via Windows:

Requirements:

- A Windows PC with a built-in Blu-ray drive or an external BD drive.

- AnyDVD HD

- A Mac: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac Pro

- Latest VLC media player or MPlayer

How-To:

1. Insert your Blu-ray disc to the BD drive, and run AnyDVD HD to remove copyright protections of your disc, no matter what kinds of protections your BD discs adopted, BD+, or AACS, AnyDVD HD is capable of dealing with them. Then you will get unprotected.m2ts files after the access of AnyDVD HD.

2. Copy the .m2ts files to an external drive or a USB stick, whatever, just let the Mac be able to read them.  

3. Use the latest VLC media player or MPlayer to play unprotected .m2ts files.

Solution 2: Running Windows on Mac via Boot Camp

What you will need:

- A BD drive

- A Mac

- Blu-ray playback software on Windows, like Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Ultra

How-To:

1. Install Boot Camp and Windows

I do not mention too much about this process, because Apple has already given the full direction about it here.

2. Connect BD drive with your computer, and Playback Blu-ray via PowerDVD 9 Ultra on the newly installed Windows OS.

Solution 3: Rip BD with Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac

What you will need:

- A BD drive

- Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac

This ripper provides directly copy function as well as HD video output option, so there is no need to worry about the output file quality of your Blu-ray movie.

The above two methods are all depending on the assistant of Windows, while the third one is not, thus I’d like to show the detailed operating steps about this one in detail.

bdmactotal100122.jpg

Easy-to-use steps:

1. Load BD files through "DVD Folder" or "IFO File".

2. Select audio track from the pull down menu of "Audio", both Dolby TrueHD audio and DTS-HD Master Audio are supported.

3. Click the drop-down list of "Format" to select output format. Directly copy, HD video, iPhone, iPod, PS3, and many other devices and formats are all supported.

4. Click "Settings" button to adjust audio and video parameters like codec name, bit rate, aspect ration, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channels(5.1 channels is included).

5. Click "Browse" button to specify save path.

6. Click "Convert" button to start conversion.

Once the conversion is done, you are able to find out the output files via clicking "Open" button. If you choose directly copy, you can use VLC or MPlayer to play the output .m2ts files, if you converted to other usual formats, like mov, mp4, then you can use QuickTime player or whatever to play back them. 

Via the Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac mentioned in solution 3, you can also absolutely realize playback BD movies on your HDTV with WD TV. Both WD TV Live HD Media Player and WD TV HD Media Player are all workable with .m2ts files, and they also support Full HD resolutions up to 1080P in common. In order to reserve the HD audio and video quality of your BD movie, you can completely select "Copy"> "Directly Copy" to just get the .m2ts files as the original as long as your USB device has enough space to store the output files. If not, you can also consider converting BD to a HD video format to save space as well as keep HD quality of the source file.

Without a practical program, it’s definitely difficult to set the movies being converted in your master language, even though your .m2ts files are not copy-protected. Normally, if your master language is English, then English audio is making use of TrueHD, and suppose your format conversion application can not recognize TureHD audio, then it will only output the audio track it recognized, that would be French, Spanish, or some other languages instead of English. In that case, you will encounter language troubles absolutely, so an available MTS/M2TS converter which can support TrueHD audio would provide timely help at this time.

Time: 1939



blurayrippergonewiththewind100108.jpg



The same with The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind is one of the American masterpieces of 1939, adapted from Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel of the same name. It tells a story of the Civil War and its aftermath from a white Southern viewpoint, and the story of Rhett, Scarlett and the fall of the Old South is an undisputed classic. It’s a must for any classic film collection.



3. Casablanca



Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid



Director: Michael Curtiz



Time: 1942

Set during World War II, Casablanca focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.



4. The Terminator



Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton



Director: James Cameron



Time: 1984



blurayrippertheterminator100108.jpg



In the year 2029, the ruling super-computer, Skynet, sends an indestructible cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) before she can fulfill her destiny and save mankind.



This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger's spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg who kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and all the more creepy. But don't overlook the contributions of Linda Hamilton, who more than holds her own as the Terminator's would-be victim, Sarah Connor--thus creating, along with Sigourney Weaver in Alien, a new generation of rugged, clear-thinking female action stars. It's surprising how well this film holds up, and how its minimalist, malevolent violence is actually way scarier than that of its far more expensive, more effects-laden sequel. --Anne Hurley

Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi- National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable -- he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.
