Ripping your own Blu-ray movies may be illegal in your country. Consult
your law enforcement agency, rabbi, and/or pediatrician before proceeding.
Extract with Aurora Mac Blu-ray Copy
The first step to viewing your Blu-ray movie on the Apple TV is to copy the decrypted disc to
your hard drive with Aurora Mac Blu-ray Copy.
Open the app, then click the button to the right of the Source field and select your disc (
Fig-
ure 48
). Do the same for Destination—I suggest creating a separate folder for raw Blu-ray
rips so they're easy to dispose of when you're finished.
Figure 48:
Aurora Blu-ray Copy is simple enough to use—just select the
source disc and a destination file, and click Start.

When the rip is finished, you don't have a playable video file; instead, you have a giant ISO
disk image. Essentially, it's an exact copy of the Blu-ray disc.
Next, use HandBrake to convert that disk image into a video file that iTunes and the Apple
TV can read:
1. In the Finder, double click the Blu-ray ISO image to mount it, if it's not already
mounted.
