Step 2: Load Blu-ray files, select output format and set save path
There are two ways to import Blu-ray files, namely through "DVD Folder" and "IFO File". At the same time, you are able to click on the drop-down list of "Format" to select output format, here I use the AVI format set by default as an example. If you’d like to join all the blu-ray files to be a single file, so that there are no intervals while playback, you can tick the checkbox of "Merge into one file" to realize it. Also, if you want to export the output files to your specified destination folder, you can hit "Browse" button to indicate a save path, otherwise, this program will load the output files to the folder set by default automatically.
By the way, if you do not want to change the video format and get any video loss, this tool allows you copying your Blu-ray files directly to your Mac hard drive without any change. You just need hit "Copy" and then "Directly Copy" as soon as you click on the drop-down button of "Format".
