Ripping Blu-ray Discs with Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Mac

You can make a copy of a movie from Blu-ray disc by using Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. The copied file can be used with the streaming media server Plex. Here are the basics of ripping a Blu-ray on a Mac. (There is also a version of Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Windows.)

Good luck!

P.S. The original, high-resolution video output format I use is excellent for use with Plex client apps that can support it. The Plex Media Server will automatically down-rez it for Plex apps that cannot handle video at such high resolution.

P.P.S. With appropriate modifications having to do with the differences between DVDs and Blu-rays, you can use this same procedure to rip DVDs.
