3. Back up DVD and blu-ray disc
iMedia Converter provides an easy and quick backup option for DVD and blu-ray disc. Protected DVDs and blu-ray discs can be cracked and copied bit-to-bit onto your hard drive in the shortest time by using ‘Disk Copy’ facility. The whole contents on the source disc will be copied to your hard drive, including the menus, titles, trailers, etc. Since the original DVD/ blu-ray structure is retained, you can burn a backup disc with the structure.
After the process completed, you may click ‘Open’ button to locate the DVD/ blu-ray directory. There should not be any quality degradation. To check the video streams, please open VIDEO_TS folder (from DVD directory) or BDMV-> STREAM folder (for blu-ray directory). The m2ts movie clips can be played with VLC player.
Finally note, blu-ray movie bites much space (generally 20Gb at least), and make sure there is enough space on your hard drive for blu-ray backing up.
