Unfortunately, RipIt does not copy Blu RAY disks. I rip DVD movies with a simple app called ' RipIt' which seems to work around restrictions to copying films that commercial software like Toast has making copying impossible. I am using an LG BE14NU40 several years now to burn 'M' disks -both DVDs and Blu-Ray. So that seems covered, although I'm not sure about details, such as preserving create time.īut what if I want to archive to a Blu-Ray M-disc? That isn't supported AFAICT.Īny recommendations? I did a web search and found no clear answer.ĭVD and blu ray 'M' disks Can be burned on Macs with external burner/players. I noticed a menu selection for 'burn' to disc. Nothing fancy with ripping movies or anything like that.Ī friend asked about some old archived film scans on CD-R, so I connected a DVD+RW drive via USB and everything worked fine. We have two BluRay drives, one with M-Disc support and one without.Īre you just 'archiving' this data 'as files'? Whether M-Disc records is a property of the drive hardware, not the OS. That has to do with the media structure of the disc itself and is handled by the hardware. Having said that, I don't believe the app you happen to be using cares about 'M-Disc' burning (vis-a-vis 'non-M-Discs'). No information I've seen indicates that Big Sur suddenly gained support for Blu-Ray. I doubt Macs would burn to a recordable Blu-Ray blank. Looks like it creates standard ISO 9660 with Joliet and Rockridge extensions.īy the way, I'm ecstatic that my 22 year old CDs were readable and are now consolidated on a single DVD-R. If a DVD+RW drive is connected via USB, the right-click menu has an option Burn to Disc that works fine with a DVD-R blank inserted.

(these may no longer work on the latest OS versions). There used to be some free apps for Macs and optical drives: You didn't tell us which Mac you have, what year it was made, and what version of the OS is running.
