People could rip discs to ISO file so they get a perfect copy and can  use that perfect copy to create new copies in the future. A Blu-ray Folder is a  folder which contains the whole contents of a Blu-ray disc. It usually contains  2 separate folders: BDMV and CERTIFICATE. BDMV folder contains information  about the contents of the Blu-ray disc, while CERTIFICATE is empty, but  necessary for the disc to play back correctly on some devices. Under a BDMV  folder\/directory, there are many folders and files, including AUXDATA, BACKUP,  BDJO, CLIPINF, JAR, META, PLAYLIST and STREAM directories, and 2 bdmv files.  Some folders are empty. <\/p>\n<p>There aren't any particularly big  downsides to having your files in either format (ISO or the folder structure).  Unless your plan on playing the movies on a network device or media player that  is really finicky about one format there's no compelling reason to go through  the effort of converting all your lose TS folders to ISO files. Not all Blu-ray  ISO burning software will be able to convert Blu-ray folder files to ISO file on Mac.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/blu-ray-copy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leawo Blu-ray Copy<\/a> for Mac could help you create ISO from folder (both Blu-ray and  DVD) easily on Mac.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/iso-1.png\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/iso-1.png\" alt=\"iso-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"465\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-70921 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/iso-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/iso-1-300x233.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/465;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20\"><strong>Part 2: Why Convert Blu-ray Folder File to ISO Image File <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is funny to learn that Apple does not support Blu-ray natively.
