3D blu-ray to .iso?

Post by tokeL »

I would like to rip 3D blu-rays to .iso with macOS.

And I won't pay for DVDFab. Price is ridiculous for rare use and their kext breaks down the OS every time.

So I guess there is no straight forward app to be found?

Just wondering, if ripping is done with makemkv ie. resulting just the folder structure, does then something go missing when that is wrapped to .iso-image?

What would be the easiest GUI-app that can do UDF2.5?

Or is terminal commands better?

.imgburn on Windows. I'm on Linux but, if I wanted to do it right now I'd download Windows 11 from Microsoft.com and run it in Virtualbox, saving the resulting. iSO to a NFS mount.

I"ve read you van do it with BSD, but I never tried.

I tried with ImgBurn, but there was an error.
But maybe the problem was the bd-drive.
I'll try with other drive...

I thought that ancient (last version 12 years ago...) ImgBurn could not read 3D-blu-rays...

I'm newbie on this forum, so I can't add to my reply before it's approved.

So, I continue:
Is your advice rip with makemkv "backup disk" and then convert it to .iso with ImgBurn?

Actually, there were many rippers that failed in windows to rip the disc.

As an example, BR2049-3d rip with makemkv has 4 folres and one big BDMV file. All those to .iso-image with ImgBurn?

Yes, rip with MakeMKV then use imgburn. Yes you put all the files from the root of the disc to the root of the image.

I *think* only DVDFab will save directly to a .iso. Obviously if the files required to run the BD menus are not present/corrupt, then the player will not start or crash. That 1 big file is probably the entire movie, which you *could* use 1 of those trial-ware programs to create a new menu(s) or maybe use another disc's menus... although I'm not sure if that works, which would be like running the menus from Wizard of Oz but swapping the .m2ts file out for Pulp Fiction.

You really should think about using .zip instead of .iso. To be honest, if players had better support for either then this probably wouldn't be a issue for anything including .tar, 7z, xz etc. But it seems players haven't implemented a mutable interface for anything other than single files, so saving resume times, custom chapters, etc. is still not possible.
