Most purchased Blu-ray movies are DRM protected from illegal ripping, copying or converting. Among a couple of Blu-ray encryption (protection) schemes available in the market, AACS (Advanced Access Content System) encryption is the most common, covering MKB, ROM Mark, ICT and Bus Encryption. Whereas BD discs are always using the latest AACS encryption, it is less convenient to have a Blu-ray player updated at the same time. To let your Blu-ray player play the newly released Blu-ray movies or simply backup your Blu-ray collections in case of damages or losses, you may find it necessary to burn and copy protected Blu-ray discs on your Mac.

Although there are decryption programs to help decrypt/rip Blu-ray discs, what users usually need is a more powerful program to do the decrypting, copying and burning within a go, and get an unprotected Blu-ray copy at last. imElfin Blu-ray Copy comes as an all-in-one Blu-ray copy assistant, making it easy to finish all the job without having to install several single-function programs. In addition to AACS protection, BD-Live, UOPs, other known Blu-ray (or DVD) protections can also be removed while copying. The original Blu-ray disc can be cloned to a blank Blu-ray disc, a Blu-ray folder, a Blu-ray ISO or compressed to a DVD disc, folder, ISO mirror.
