Hassle-free Solution to Rip Blu-ray to Apple TV with Utmost Quality

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.

How to Import and Edit MP4 files in Sony Vegas Pro

Nowadays, MP4 file is widely known to all because it is supported by various portable media devices. While, how about the compatibility of MP4 files to Non-Linear Editing systems? In this article, we aim to outline the MP4 and Sony Vegas compatibility. If you are facing any relevant issues, read on to get the quick fix.

Why Sony Vegas not support MP4 files? 

Although Sony Vegas announced that it can deal with a wide variety of video files including MP4, people still encounter many problems when importing MP4 to Sony Vegas Pro for further video editing. You may say: since MP4 is said to be supported, why Sony Vegas doesn't accept my MP4 files? In fact, the native import of some flavors of MP4 wasn't supported until Vegas 10. In addition, based on our testing, some MP4 files will import into Vegas Pro without QuickTime perfectly, whereas other MP4 files absolutely require QuickTime. The reason of the error mostly lays in the video format codec parameters. Since MP4 is a container instead of a codec, if the MP4 contains a video codec that Sony Vegas can't recognize, for instance, H.265, Sony Vegas Pro (including Vegas 14) won't accept it. 

What's the available workflow for getting Sony Vegas and MP4 movies to play nicely? ? 

To get MP4 and Sony Vegas to play nicely, you need to convert MP4 to Sony Vegas friendly format like MOV, MPEG-2, MMV, etc. first. To transcode MP4 files to Sony Vegas, you're recommended to use Dimo Video Converter Ultimate. It supports creating high quality WMV video for your Sony Vegas, no matter what's the format of your source video files. What's more, it also supports various formats of videos to seamlessly fit Sony Movie Studio PlatinumAdobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio, etc. editing softwares. Below is a step-by-step guide on converting MP4 video to Sony Vegas compatible formats.

How to import MP4 files into Sony Vegas 

Step 1: Load original MP4 files 

Click "Add File" button on the main interface to load your MP4 files once you set up the professional MP4 Converter on your PC. (Drag & Drop function is another way to import the videos.) 

 

Step 2: Select output format 

Click "Select Format" column to choose output format. For Sony Vegas editing, "Editor > Sony Vegas" is one of the best compatible video formats for you to choose. 

Tips: By clicking the Settings button beside Profile, you can adjust the output video/audio resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc. to customize the output files to get the best quality you want. 

 

Step 3: Start MP4 to Sony Vegas Conversion 

Tap the "Start" button on the main interface to start transcoding or compressing MP4 to Sony Vegas. When finished, the output file is ready for being imported to Sony Vegas for editing. All Vegas versions are supported, including Vegas Pro 14/13/12. 

Alternative Solution: Install the K Lite Codec Pack 

Note: We found people blaming the codec saying K-Lite is that it blindly installs all kinds of components (not just codecs), many of which are not compatible with each other. And it does not uninstall cleanly. If don't want to install a pile of codecs on your PC, try the first approach above.
