Recently, i have purchased some interesting Blu-ray movies and then i attempted to put some clips of the Blu-ray discs in Final Cut Pro X with my recordings. Unfortunately, some problems happened when I trying to import a Blu-ray disc (Fast & Furious 7) to Final Cut pro X, I got a File Import Failure window that says “Unsupported format or damaged file.” After serching further and widely, i realized the problem is that I am trying to pull files from a store-bought Blu-ray disc into Final Cut Pro which has some kind of copy protection. Yes, that is the definite cause of the problem. Final Cut Pro X can’t support Blu-ray disc which has protection at all. So, the optional choice is that I need to decrypt the protection of Blu-ray disc first and then import to Fianl Cut Pro X.
One of my friends recommends Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac (EI Capitan included). The software is ease of use. I download the trail version and convert my Blu-ray movie to a Final Cut Pro highly compatible format ProRes MOV. So, I can import it freely on Final Cut Pro X. In fact, it can just copy the movie content under the profile of “Directly Copy” which highly reduces the conversion time. The most important is that the conversion quality was great! The quality of the conversion was beyond expectation- the files looks as good as from the original. Very clean, very quick, very impressive.
This converter not only supports Final Cut Pro X, but also suits other models of Final Cut Pro, including FCP 6, FCP 7 and Final Cut Express. Anyone who has the similar issues can follow the tutorial below presenting the Blu-ray to ProRes 422 (*.mov) conversion process. I do the conversion on Mac Maverick (it also supports Mac OS X EI Capitan and Windows OS including ).
