How to Rip a Blu-Ray to Play Movies on iPhone

With the development of Internet, a growing number of people have ditched the traditional ways of home entertainment especially like the broadcast TV, DVD and Blu-ray discs. Instead, users are more willing to stream online or download the movies to their portable smartphone which is convenient to carry and watch them anywhere they go. However, it can be so extravagant and pity to set aside or even abandon the Blu-ray discs where hold a sizable collection of favorite films. Is there a way to extract the movies out of your Blu-ray discs and play onto an iPhone? This post may do you a favor.

iPhone is not intended for playback of Blu-ray as it has no Blu-ray drive nor player to read the disc. Fortunately, we can make it possible with picking up a program called Blu-ray Converter. It's an excellent tool that allows you to rip a movie from Blu-ray and convert into an iPhone-playable movie file. And it also converts your Blu-ray & DVD & digital videos to other popular formats you need such as MKV, WMV, MOV, MP4, M4V. Moreover, it gives you the power to freely customize the settings of output video, as well as personalize the video with a handy built-in editor to get the results exactly the way you want.

For those who are running a Mac computer, please refer to Blu-ray Converter for Mac to convert your Blu-ray disc for playback on iPhone.

The following part is about how to decrypt the Blu-ray and convert the movie into a format that iPhone can read so you could transfer it to your iPhone via iTunes. Before starting, you may download and install the right copy of the tool on your machine according to your operating system.

Note: While it may seem obvious, we'll also mention you'll need a Blu-ray drive attached with your computer since most Blu-ray drives are capable of reading DVDs, but not vice versa.
