First, a quick note: we know that there is still a lot of legal ambiguity around ripping content that you have legally purchased. At Audioholics, we believe that you should be able to watch purchased media on your system regardless of whether it’s coming from a standalone Blu-ray player or a media center frontend. Actually, it’s not as difficult as you imagine. To get Blu-rays on Plex, you’ll need a Blu-ray drive installed in your computer and a third-party Blu-ray ripping software.
Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs, but while the latest version of the software has added SOME support for reading Blu-Ray folder structures, it cannot yet decrypt the Blu-Ray discs the way it can with regular DVDs, so you’ll need to add a Handbrake alternative for ripping encrypted Blu-ray discs. The best program I can recommend for ripping Blu-ray for Plex is called [b]Brorsoft [/b][b]Blu-ray Ripper[/b].
The program is an all-in-one Blu-ray & DVD backuping/coping/ripping application to help you out. Acted as the best Blu-ray to Plex converting tool, it’s a breeze to get around the protection on Blu-ray and make digital backups of all of the movie contents on your hard drive to free up the disc, or just convert to video files of your choosing, including popular formats such as MP4, AVI and MKV, so that you can then access and watch the video of Blu-ray on the Plex with ease.
The equivalent Mac version is Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac, which can rip and convert Blu-ray movies to Plex Media Sever on Mac OS X (macOS Sierra included).
