Before you begin

Confirm the disc source and playback goal.

Select the correct title, audio, and subtitle tracks, then match the output to the player, device, or archive workflow.

Prepare a Blu-ray title for QuickTime

QuickTime opens media files, not a physical Blu-ray movie structure. Select the authorized title, required audio, and subtitles on a computer with a readable Blu-ray drive, then create a supported MOV file.

Match the source frame rate and dimensions unless storage or playback limits require a change. A MOV extension alone does not guarantee compatibility; the codecs inside it must also be supported. Test picture, audio, subtitles, and sync in QuickTime before processing the complete disc.
