Mac DVD & Blu-ray Toolkit

Optical discs are far from dead: people still rip a DVD to keep a copy, burn a video disc for a relative's player, back up a Blu-ray collection, or just get a store-bought disc to play on a Mac that no longer has a drive. This hub gathers every tested disc guide we have, from the free tools that do the job (HandBrake, MakeMKV, VLC, the built-in Finder burn) to the paid apps worth it for protected discs. Each guide is verified on current macOS and lists the free option first. For format conversion and downloading that does not involve a disc, see the Mac Video Toolkit.
