Our top recommendation is iFunia Blu-ray Ripper, a lightweight yet powerful program designed specifically for Mac. It can bypass the latest copy protection (AACS, BD+, region code, MKB, etc.) of Blu-rays and rip with perfect quality. It takes about 10 minutes to rip and convert a 50-minute Blu-ray episode video, quite a fast speed compared to other competitors.
iFunia Blu-ray Ripper converts Blu-ray discs to MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, HEVC and almost any common video and audio files. It also provides pre-configured profiles for output devices including iPhone, Apple TV, Android, PS4, Windows PC and more. Additionally, its video editing feature allows you to modify and preview the movie before ripping, and merge multiple titles into one.

MakeMKV is a popular free DVD and Blu-ray ripper software for both Mac and Windows. It can rip encrypted Blu-ray discs to MKV format in 1080p with all subtitles and audio tracks preserved. The ripping speed is satisfactory, but you won’t be able to choose other formats or quality levels. The ripped MKV video file is uncompressed and similar in file size to the original Blu-ray file, so make sure your Mac has enough free space before ripping. And you may need to use a video converter tool to reduce the file size and convert to another format if necessary.
Blu-ray ripping may be a shareware feature in the future, but this free Blu-ray ripper for Mac has been in BETA for over 10 years. And you can use it for free by registering with the beta key released on forum once month. You can also pay $60 to buy a lifetime key to save the hassle and support the developer.

DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper for Mac is a part of DVDFab All-In-One, known for its powerful decryption service and fast ripping speed. It can rip the latest Blu-ray discs in seconds and convert to lossless video files with a GPU-accelerated speed. Another unique feature is that DVDFab can upscale 1080p Blu-ray video to 4K resolution with its built-in Enlarger AI tool, so you can enjoy a cinema-like 4K UHD experience on the big screen.
This Blu-ray ripper for Mac offers a free version with limited features, allowing you to rip Blu-ray to MKV/MP4 in 480p or 1080p for free. But the speed can be slow and there are ads asking you to upgrade every time you run it.
Input: Blu-ray and DVD Disc, BDMV Folder, Blu-ray ISO
Output: 500+ formats or profiles
Price: $29.95/year, $39.95/lifetime license
EaseFab LosslessCopy is a competent Blu-ray ripper capable of ripping Blu-ray/DVD to lossless MKV or convert to regular formats. Compared to EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper, LosslessCopy offers an additional feature to rip Blu-ray to MKV, MP4, MOV and AVI with multiple audio tracks and subtitles. It also allows you to preview the video, take screenshot, trim and rotate the video and merge selected titles into one to distinct your output video.
EaseFab LosslessCopy is a feature-rich option that combines Blu-ray ripping and copying, and often at a discount. But it may not work with some newly released Blu-rays, and the interface is rather dated and not intuitive for new users.
Input: Blu-ray and DVD Disc/Folder/ISO file
Output: 180+ formats
Price: $44.95/year, $99.95/lifetime license
Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is another top-notch Blu-ray ripping software available for Mac and Windows, allowing users to convert Blu-ray to video/audio in popular formats, including 3D ripping. It allows you to set video and audio parameters in detail, such as quality, codec, bitrate and framerate, aspect ratio and so on. You can also trim and crop the video, and merge several titles into a single file.
As an integrated module of Leawo Prof. Media, an 16-in-1 media converter suite, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper for Mac is bundled with two other modules - DVD Ripper and Blu-ray Recorder Ripper - for sale. So if you can make use of these two, it’s a worthy choice for you.

Output: Lossless MKV and regular video/audio

As its name suggests, VideoByte BD-DVD Ripper supports both Blu-ray and DVD ripping. This excellent Blu-ray ripper for Mac can bypass most protection schemes like BD+, Cinavia and AACS, and convert Blu-ray to over 300 video/audio formats. In addition, it enables you to edit the metadata of each episode before ripping, so you can add a cover and adjust the title, artist, genre, year and so on to better manage your media library. Aside from the media metadata editor, you can find more tools from its Toolbox section, which includes a video compressor, 3D maker and GIF maker, etc.
Input: Blu-ray Disc and any other media file
Output: MP4, MKV, WebM
Price: Free
HandBrake is a free video transcoder that can convert Blu-ray and DVD discs to MP4, MKV or WebM files. It lets you choose which chapters and language tracks to rip, tweak video and audio settings, and add external subtitles and audio tracks to the video before ripping.
But can HandBrake rip Blu-ray with copy protection? The answer is no on its own, but with the help of other tools it’s possible. You can add the ability to rip Blu-ray discs protected by AACS and BD+ technologies by integrating HandBrake with libaacs and libbdplus, two free software libraries. But the procedure is quite difficult and even if you succeed, the ripping can be really slow. If you’re interested in getting this free app to work with Blu-ray discs, this tutorial may be helpful.
Input: Homemade Blu-ray Disc/Folder/ISO and AVCHD Disc/Folder
Output: Lossless MKV and regular formats
Price: $55.96/lifetime license
AnyMP4 Blu-ray Ripper for Mac shares a similar interface with VideoByte, is equipped with a variety of Blu-ray ripping functions and the same toolbox, such as metadata editor and video compressor, so why rank last? The killer problem is that AnyMP4 cannot rip Blu-ray with copy protection, which makes it worthless for most users. You can use it to rip homemade Blu-ray and AVCHD discs to regular video and audio formats, and utilize the video enhancer tools to manage the files. But if you need to crack encrypted discs, avoid it.
I tested more than a dozen different Blu-ray rippers on my iMac running OS 14 Sonoma by ripping the same Blu-ray TV series. The rankings are based on the following attributes:
Based on the above criteria, we're convinced that iFunia Blu-ray Ripper is an optimal choice for Mac users looking for an easy and efficient way to rip Blu-ray discs. You can also try MakeMKV if you want to produce multi-track videos and are not afraid of large file sizes. With the right Blu-ray ripper, you can better build your media library and enjoy high quality Blu-ray content on any device or platform.
