Some Term about Discs to Digital Content

If you want to make a digital copy of a bluray, you should know the meaning of Ripping, Re-encoding and Tag. In the fact, "Ripping" is aimed to strip content from Blu-ray&DVD discs to a hard drive such as your computer. "Re-encoding" can help us transcode the ripped video from computer into other formats which are supported by your devices.

Q1: Is there a free program which can convert Blu-ray & DVD to Digital Content?

A: NO FREE SOFTWARE can make it. MakeMKV can only rip unprotected BD&DVD collections to MKV format. But it fails to remove DRM from protected disc collections. The famous Handbrake also just rip and convert HD video without DRM protection to only two formats: MP4 and MKV.

Q2: Can you recommend the best default HandBrake settings for iPad?

A: For most Blu-ray discs, I adopt a Constant Quality of RF 22, sometimes RF 21. For most DVDs, RF 20 is my preference. And The Apple TVs preset will give you good encodes. More info, you can refer how to make best settings for iPad.

Q3: When you use MakeMKV to rip HD content successfully, how to combine the ripped videos from two collections or more?

A: You have to use the extra third party program such as mkvtoolnix.

A: Store all movies on the Cloud or on external hard drives.

After you rip Blu-ray Collections to the computer, you have to preview it and check whether the video, audio and subtitle tracks have been save correctly or not. VLC Video Player allows you to ensure that you have ripped BD&DVD collections correctly. On the other hand, the portable device (Apple TV, iPhone 6, iPad) and video player (such as QuickTime and Window Media Player) can't play videos in MKV format. So MKV should be converted to other format.
