“Hi, I use a 2017 MacBook Pro 15 and I want to get some of my DVDs ripped on it. As I have never done this before, so I need a program that’s easy to use and can get the job done nicely. Any advice?”

Apple had stopped featuring Blu-ray/DVD drives on all its products including the MacBook line. The last MacBook you can buy with a disc drive was the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro which Apple stopped selling in 2016. So it’s no easy thing to watch or rip DVD on a Mac computer. You will need to get a DVD drive first and a proper DVD ripper program to help you get the job done. Below are the instructions that you will find helpful.

Method 1: Convert DVD to MacBook with MakeMKV

MakeMKV is a one-click solution to convert video into free and patents-unencumbered MKV files. As a file converter, MakeMKV converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way. The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. You could use MakeMKV to rip and convert Blu-ray and DVD discs on Mac so as to play these Blu-ray/DVD movies on your MacBook with your favorite players. MakeMKV is available in Windows, Mac, and Linux.

You need to follow the below steps to learn how to rip and convert DVD to MacBook for backup.

1. Download and install MakeMKV on your MacBook computer.
2. Insert the DVD disc in your DVD drive and launch MakeMKV on your Mac.
3. When you see a DVD drive icon emerges from the center of MakeMKV’s interface, click on it and MakeMKV will start to read and load the content in the disc like videos, subtitles and audio tracks to the program.
4. When MakeMKV finishes loading the disc, it will list the content on the left side.
5. Just click on the name of the disc on top of the disc content section on the left to check out the content in the disc.
6. And then select the titles you want to convert for MacBook backup so that they can be included in the output video.
