Question: “We have A HImedia box that literally plays everything. It would not play the ripped BDMV. Also when we tried to view it in Mac Bluray player? It said it was over 9 hours long? Both the Mac Blu-ray player and the HiMedia box never seem to have a problem playing back blu-rays or mkvs. I wants to play Gone Girl, Any suggestion? ”


  
Although HiMedia box supported Blu-rays natively, it's still not a good idea to take out Blu-ray discs frequently due to scratch issues. Also, as I own a large collection of Blu-rays, I also built a home NAS with large storage, so the file size is not the case. Like I said, generally I just want a tool that can backup Blu-rays to MKV without quality loss on Mac.  

So I started to search online for an ideal tool. However, it's rather disappointing that most ripping software simply compress my Blu-ray to MKV container format with codec like H.264, AVC, ect., the converted video is downsized which doesn't work for me. At last one of my colleague recommended Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac and wow, it works like a charm! It's so easy to use, converts very fast and output lossless videos. Below is my workflow on Mac.

Required Tool: Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac | Review

1. There's 6 times limitation if you use the trial version to output lossless MKV files; 
2. This program also has a Windows version which works for Windows 10/Windows 8.1/Windows 8/Windows 7/Windows Vista/2003/XP find the ByteCopy (windows) here. 

How to lossless backup Blu-ray to MKV for HiMedia 900B and keep multi-track?

The switch to "Audio", check wanted audio track; so does the "Subtitles". 
 
Step 4. Start backing up Blu-rays to lossless MKV 

Click the big "Convert" to start the conversion. It takes about 40 mins for my Macbook to backup a Blu-ray disc, but the conversion speed also depends on your computer configuration.

3. Start DVD to VOB files to VLC Conversion. Click the "Convert” button and finish it to get the VOB files. 

Part II: Play VOB files by using VLC 
  
Just as what tell on www.videolan.org, the VLC player is capable of playing vob files, because it is able to tell your DVD drive where to look for the decryption codes. It operates just like any other stand alone DVD player would and in some cases may give you more control over the rewinding, fast forwarding and skipping chapters then a DVD player can. But that depends on what DVD player you have so you have to decide for yourself if playing vob files on the VLC player is worth it. No matter what your opinion, playing vob files on the VLC player will suffice if you have nothing else. 
  
Hope this guide can help you finish the task. Enjoy the DVD to VOB files with VLC Media Player on Mac.
