Detailed guide: How to use imElfin Blu-ray Copy

Due to the large storage of a BD disc, the disc-to-hard drive backup may take dozens of minutes or one to two hour. After the processing, you will find the BD movies backuped to your hard drive successfully. To backup BD movies to iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can set the copy target as iTunes under "Music" folder.

The backuped BD ISO file or folder is primarily prepared for a disc-to-disc copy, which is an excellent choice for Blu-ray to hard drive backup, but the extracted ISO file can't be played on Mac or Windows directly. If you want to do so, imElfin Blu-ray Ripper will be a better option. This tool allows users to rip Blu-ray to MKV, MP4, AVI or any other playable format as a backup. As the name shows, imElfin Blu-ray Ripper aims at Blu-ray ripping as well as format conversion, but does not support Blu-ray disc/image/folder copy like Blu-ray copy does. Or you can consider Total Media Converter, which supports Bu-ray/DVD ripping, burning,copying along with complete format conversion.
