Convert, Edit, Cut, your Blu-ray videos with Blu-ray Converter Ultimate
Convert in 1 Click

1. Insert your video(s). Use either one of the buttons to browse for your files. You can also drag and drop them directly into the main window. Make sure the file is decrypted (if it's not, please check out this guide). To remove a file, select it and click on 'remove selection'.
Select the files you want to convert. Blu-ray files often come with different angles, and bonuses. Make sure you tick the box in front of each item to add them to the conversion.
2. Select the conversion format. You can select only one conversion output for each conversion “session”, ie, if you add 3 videos in the main window, they will all be converted in the same format. If you want some of your videos in other formats, then you have to start a new session after, and each time select the output format of your choice
The formats available: Generic Video (Avi, MkV, Mp4) ,DVD (PAL and NTSC), Tablets (Ipad and Android ) Smartphones (Iphone and Android) Game console (Playstation, Xbox) , Web Designed (WebM) Audio (this will extract the audio from the video to Ogg, Mp3 or Mp4) , HD structure (to make a copy of a Blu-ray file and keep the same quality)
3. If you don’t want to do any editing on the video, or don’t feel confident to use the advanced features, simply click on “Start”, that’s it!
Options and Settings
Video Editing
To access the Video settings and make further editing, click on the icon on the right of the video:


In the window that opens, you will see the options on the left, the preview on the right and video structure at the bottom.

Preview and Timeline
Here is how the timeline is built: All tracks on the video are shown here. If you want to add any other files, whether audio or subtitles, you have to do it here.
To edit a particular track, click on it , this will open the editing window on the top left corner.
A cursor with a green vertical line shows the playback progression of the preview. You can scroll the cursor with the mouse to go backward or forward in the preview above, or to position a cut or chapter section.
Editing Options
Track Editor
Depending on which track you have clicked on in the timeline below, a different window will appear. If you have clicked on the video track:
The first tab is for output formats and output screen size. Here you can adjust the video size according to the screen size where the conversion will be watched. Check your selection with the preview on the right. Here you can also rotate the image and chose an image filter (we recommend using Lanczos)
The second tab is the conversion advisor (available for all outputs except DVD) this will give a good idea of the overall quality/output file size. You cna manually change the bitrate if necessary.
The third Tab is for Brightness and contrast. Here you can use the controls to change the brightness, contrast and gamma correction levels on the video. Results are shown live in the preview.
Cut
You can cut off any unwanted parts of the video, and make as many “cuts” as necessary within the video. Simply place the cursor in the underneath timeline where you want to start the cut and click on “Start Cut”. Then drag the cursor until the position where you want to place the end of the cut, and click on “end Cut”. This will create an entry with the timing of the beginning and end of cuts. You can create as many “cuts” as you want that way, each will appear in a chronological order in this window. Each “Cut” selection is also shown in the timeline below as a red portion so it is clearly identified that this part will be removed in the conversion. If you want to cancel a cut selection, simply click on the red X on its right.
Chapters: With DVD and MKV outputs, you can add chapters to the video.
Audio and Subtitles: Blu-ray files generally contain a few audio and subtitle files with different languages. If you want to get rid of some of these files, you need to identify them first. for instance you might have two English subtitle files: one with the subs in English, and another one for the hearing impaired. Click on eachof them one after the other and play them in the preview to see which one you want to keep. Same thing for the audio tracks.
Watch out for the arrow symbol on the left of each track. The first one indicates that the track is selected to be added to conversion. The second one means the track is selected to be played in the preview.
The subtitle tracks that ome with the Blu-ray file CANNOT be edited, ie, you cannot change their colour, size, position, etc. Only the external sub files you add manually can be edited.
Add subtitles: to add subtitles, you can drag and drop them from the explorer (first tab, see above) or click on the T icon at the bottom, and select your file. You will see a new track be added to the timeline. Click on this track to edit your subtitles, in the Track editor above. There you will be able to change the font, color, size, code page of the text, as well as add a positive or negative offset to correct desynchronization if needed. Any editing is shown live in the preview.
Add Audio: Same as for the subtitles, click on the audio track to access edition options in the Track Editor Tab above. There you will be able to increase the sound volume.
When you're done with your edition, click on 'Save and close' or 'Exit without saving' at the top right hand corner to go back to the main window. Click on 'start' to start the conversion/
