There is another program that can directly rip blu-ray ISO files to flawless M2TS files and burn the blu-ray ISO image onto blank blu-ray discs, the Pavtube Blu-Ray Copy. Yet you can use the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper to shrink blu-ray ISO image files to MKV, AVI, MP4, WMV, MOV, DivX, etc, provided that you have already had a virtual drive installed on your PC. The following guide is written for users who would like to shrink and rip blu-ray ISO to 1080p videos for watching on HDTV.
