Thankfully, there are many programs out there that allow you to make copies of your Blu-rays on Mac (macOS Sierra Included) and let you convert Blu-ray to vairous formats. Here I will show you top 3 different and excellent tools to rip Blu-rays on Mac (macOS Sierra Included).

Part 1: Rip Blu-ray on Mac free with MakeMKV

Part 2: Backup Blu-ray on Mac (macOS Sierra) with BDMagic

Part 3: Lossless Copy Blu-ray on macOS Sierra with ByteCopy

Part 1: Rip Blu-ray on Mac free with MakeMKV

Firstly, you should download and install MakeMKV

MakeMKV 1.9.10 for Mac OS X

Requires x86 Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

NOTE: MakeMKV is not signed by Apple, you might need to adjust gatekeeper options in order to install the program.

After installing the app, enter your disk into your hard-drive and fire up MakeMKV. Obviously, the disk needs to be in a Blu-ray drive. MakeMKV will now run, whirr, and make its noises and, all going well, will show you the title of the disk, along with the disk information. Next, click on the hard-drive icon again to proceed to the next step.

Now you have to decide which disk chapters you are going to rip. Obviously, the movie (or TV show) will be the largest file. Now, with each chapter you want to rip, make sure the box is ticked. BUT you also have to do something else before hitting that “Make MKV” button. If you drop down one of the chapter menus, you will see that subtitles are also enabled. Assuming you don’t want the subtitles, untick those boxes. Of course I chose a disk that DOESN’T have subtitles (thanks God, appreciate that one). But if you drop down the menu of a Blu-ray chapter, the subtitles are there in 99% of cases.

OK, assuming you’ve done all that, click the “Make MKV” button and let the software do its thing.
