How to Backup Blu-ray to Apple TV Easily

If you have an Apple TV and want to Backup Blu-ray to Apple TV, you can use an easy-to-use Blu-ray to Apple TV converter. 

It does not matter weather you have cut-the-cable entirely, are a part-time streamer, or hide in the back-bedroom during the holidays to get your Hulu fix, everyone wants to watch hot contents during the holidays! For me and my family, the second installment in The Hunger Games film series, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a holiday must. So let's start with watching The Hunger Games (2) Blu-ray through Apple TV (4) on HDTV using a simple workflow. 

"We were going on skiing holiday and my wife wanted to watch the movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" whilst we are away. I had a bluray only copy (no digital or DVD) so was looking for a way to digitize Blu-ray for playback on HDTV though Apple TV. Any suggestion?" 

 

Most people's first thought upon playing The Hunger Games Blu-ray on Apple TV 4/3/2/1 is to stream/AirPlay/mirror Blu-ray to Apple TV 4 from PC or Mac, which however has some limits and will be explained later. Some say use VLC media player, which should works but I have never tried it myself. 

In fact, to play The Hunger Games Blu-ray on Apple TV, you should keep a few things in mind: As the newly released commercial Blu-ray disc, The Hunger Games 2 Blu-ray discs are protected with region codes and layers of digital rights management, including AACS, and BD+, etc. A common Blu-ray player or drive can't read Blu-ray information. 

However, ATV does not include a drive for playing The Hunger Games Blu-ray. Apple TV supports MOV, MP4, and M4V in H.264 or MPEG-4 codec. As your Blu-ray isn't supported by Apple TV, the ultimate solution sseems to be to rip The Hunger Games Blu-ray to Apple TV (4), to some extent. At this point, we recommend Dimo Video Converter Ultimate, the best Blu-ray ripper for home and office use.
