“I want to convert my Blu-ray discs to M4V for playing them on Mac via iTunes and also on TV via a small Apple TV 3, and have used the free software – MakeMKV on the market to backup Blu-ray discs to MKV format first, and then performed a second conversion from MKV to M4V with another tool called Handbrake, which is really complicated and annoying.
