Pavtube ByteCopy Review

MakeMKV Review
MakeMKV is a nice choice for those who feel like to make lossless copy of their Blu-ray and DVD collections. The software does one thing- converting the video clips from encrypted disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way- and does it well. It is very easy to remove unwanted audio or subtitle tracks and pretty fast to back up a Blu-ray. The copying of Blu-ray Avatar took only 86 minutes. All video streams, audio tracks and subtitles are included in resulting MKV file.
Import source: Blu-ray Disc/folder/ISO, DVD
Export file format: .mkv (with original codecs)
To add- MKV (also known as Matroska) is a container file format, in which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie in a single file. Practically this means that it is possible to put entire movie with multiple sound and subtitle tracks, chapters and movie thumbnail into single file.
Trial and Download
- MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Windows
Requires Windows XP, Vista or Win7, x86 or x64.
- MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Mac OS X
Requires x86 Mac OS X 10.5 or later. - MakeMKV 1.6.8 for Linux

DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper Review
DVDfab used to stand for an excellent free DVD ripper. Now we know they can do more (and ask for more too). DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper decrypts and rips Blu-ray title to various video files playable on next generation consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360, HD player like WD TV Live, or mobile devices like iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc. Unlike MakeMKV, it exports a lot of video codecs and formats:
Video: MPEG-4, H.264, MP4, MKV, AVI, WMV, M2TS, TS etc.
Audio: MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, WAV, AAC, AC3, DTS, etc.
So you see the differences here. With MakeMKV you get lossless Blu-ray backup but only in MKV format; while with DVDfab you lose original Blu-ray quality but get much smaller movie clips in desired format. A preferred feature of DVDfab is their “Lighting speed”, i.e., multi-core CPUs and NVIDIA CUDA support. By taking advantage of CUDA accelerating, the conversion time is greatly shorted.
Trial and Download
- DVDfab
Blu-ray Ripper
Requires Windows XP, Vista or Win7, (x32/x64). Not a Mac version is provided.

Compare: MakeMKV vs. DVDfab vs. ByteCopy
MakeMKV and ByteCopy are good for lossless Blu-ray and DVD backup, while DVDfab focuses on Blu-ray trans-coding to portable devices like PS3, Xbox, etc.
Q: Which Blu-ray ripper keeps Blu-ray movie structure (including chapters)?

Not a Blu-ray ripper is able to crack all the Blu-ray Discs as decryption always falls behind encryption. So it’s a question of upgrade and tech support. All the three updates their software along with the come up of new BD+ keys. MakeMKV and ByteCopy charge free for updates while DVDfab asks you pay extra money for the updates.
