3. Brief introduction
To rip Blu-ray to iTunes and play Blu-ray movies on iTunes library, the very first thing you need to learn is what video and
audio formats iTunes support. So that you could select proper video and audio formats during Blu-ray to iTunes video
conversion. Sometimes you may also need to know why iTunes doesn’t accept your video files even when these files are
with extensions as required by iTunes. Below we’ve listed the video and audio formats supported by iTunes.
iTunes supported video and audio formats
AVI is a popular container file format used for watching standard definition video on the PC and is the container used by
DivX video versions 3 through 6. AVI files can hold different types of video and audio streams inside, and with the help of
DivX® video compression technology, they can display incredible video quality while maintaining a small file size. .divx
files are also based on the AVI container, but can contain additional features like XSUB subtitles and chapters. Both AVI
and DIVX videos will play on all DivX Certified devices—from tablets to TVs.

4. Note: Due to limitations on video codecs, sample rate, etc., some .mov, .m4v or .mp4 files might be rejected by iTunes. You then
need to convert these files to iTunes compatible formats and adjust these parameters by using professional iTunes video converter.
Solution 1: Use iTunes Digital Copy
Some DVD and Blu-ray titles feature iTunes Digital Copy. With iTunes Digital Copy, you get a digital version of your movie
in addition to the DVD or Blu-ray version. iTunes Digital Copy is a high-definition (HD) digital version of a movie that can
be watched on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV. It only takes a few minutes to redeem your digital
copy and start watching it on any of your compatible devices.
iTunes Digital Copy allows you to experience all of the same benefits as an HD movie purchased from the iTunes Store,
including localized language support and iTunes Extras*. You can just redeem your iTunes Digital Copy on your Mac, PC,
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and then store all your Digital Copy movies on iCloud. Download a movie to watch from your
iTunes library on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch—or stream it directly with your Apple TV. If the movie includes
iTunes Extras, those are available through iCloud as well.
On Apple Support Community, Apple made a very detailed guide on How to Redeem digital copies of DVDs or Blu-rays in
iTunes.

5. Note: The below solutions are for Windows users. But the Mac versions of these tools listed below own the same
program interface and workflow as that of Windows versions. So you could directly download and Mac version of the
below tools and follow the below instructions to learn how to convert Blu-ray to MOV on Mac.
Solution 2: MakeMKV and Handbrake
Combination of MakeMKV and Handbrake is ideal for ripping Blu-ray disc to iTunes videos since MakeMKV only
generates MKV files and couldn’t re-encode video files, while Handbrake outputs MP4 files with encoding but has no
ability to decrypt Blu-ray disc. MakeMKV is capable of ripping selected parts of a Blu-ray into an MKV file that can
then be used by Handbrake to encode the video into the right format that iTunes recognizes. MakeMKV doesn’t do
any re-encoding or compressing of the file so you are likely to end up with a 20-30GB file when you’re done.

MakeMKV

and then launch MakeMKV to wait for Blu-ray

path and filename, then click the “Start” button to convert. The output format is set as “MP4″ by default.

7. Solution 3: Best Blu-ray to iTunes Converter Solution
