As you see, Blu-ray is a digital optical disc data storage format, which is capable of storing hours of video in high-definition and ultra high-definition resolution. Audio, video, and other streams are multiplexed and stored on Blu-ray Discs in a container format based on the MPEG transport stream. It is also known as BDAV MPEG-2 transport stream and can use filename extension .m2ts, which are not supported formats by VideoPad.
In order to import and edit Blu-ray footage in VideoPad, you'd better get the movies off the Blu-ray plastic discs and make video/audio files compatible with VideoPad. Besides, if your Blu-ray discs are copy-protected, you need to bypass the copy protections as well. The two main tasks can be done relately easy with the help of a third party Blu-ray ripping tool.
