How to backup Blu-ray movies on HDD of your PC for  local playback?

Watching  Blu-ray movies has become a popular trend nowadays. Besides directly inserting  them to optical drive for playing, many people have the need of copying these  movies on HDD of their PC for local playback, so that they can enjoy these  movies while traveling without bringing lots of crispy Blu-ray discs. In order  to fit people’s requirement, this post aims to introduce you how to backup Blu-ray  movies on HDD of your PC via Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper in detail. Okay, now let’s begin.

Step 1: Download, install and launch Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper

Step 2: Import Blu-ray movie, select output format  and set save path

There are three  ways to add Blu-ray movie: via “DVD Rom”,  “DVD Folder”, and “IFO/ISO”. After importing, you are  allowed to select a suitable output format by clicking the drop-down list of “Format”. For the purpose of being  supported by Windows well and also keeping the HD quality, here I choose “WMV  HD” for instance. Of course, if you want to save space for your HDD to store  more Blu-ray movies, you can select a standard output format.

Afterwards, you  can hit the folder icon at the end of “Output”  to specify where to locate the output files. Suppose you have the demand of  combining multiple chapters of you Blu-ray movie to be a single file, you are  capable of ticking checkbox “Merge into  one file” to complete it, so as to enjoy the backup movie without  intervals.

Step 3: Set advanced settings

If you want to  adjust the video and audio parameters to achieve a special video and audio  quality, you can click “Settings” to  enter the following window. You are allowed to change items like codec, image  size, bit rate, etc to whatever you like. To get a smaller file size, you should  select smaller values, of course, there will be video loss; to get a better  quality, you should select larger values, while the file size will also be  enlarged without doubt.

Step 4: Convert

Once the above  three steps are finished, you can then click “Convert” button to start conversion, the ripping window is as  below. It shows you clearly the conversion process, time elapse, time left, as  well as generated file size and estimated file size, so that you can manage  your time and HDD in a proper way. Moreover, if you tick the option “Shut down computer after conversion”,  you can even go out for a walk or take a nap, or do something else while  conversion.

After  conversion is completed, you can then click “Open” to find the output HD WMV files originated from Blu-ray  movies easily, and then open them with Windows Media Player or other video  players for playback on your local PC smoothly.
