Though there're a lot of paid apps can do you a big favor, but we don't think you have to pay for it. So find the solid and free ways to play Blu-ray on Windows 10 in this article.

#2. Rip Blu-ray Discs to Digitial Videos

MakeMKV+ Handbrake are good options to rip and digitize huge Blu-ray files into small and sharp digital videos.

1. Download and install MakeMKV. The program is completely free during the beta-testing phase, but that may change anytime, so get the software while you can.

2. Put a Blu-ray movie into your PC’s Blu-ray drive, and click the Blu-ray button in the middle of the screen.

MakeMKV can rip copies of your Blu-ray movies to MKV file only on your PC.

3. Then run the ripped MKV files through Handbrake to compress it down. You can, of course, skip Handbrake, but each file from a Blu-Ray will be huge. So unless you have an awful lot of storage on hand, running through Handbrake is a good step to reduce the file size at the expense of outright quality.
