Detailed instruction:
How to rip/convert bluray VC-1 to H.264 encoded MKV, MP4, MOV, TS?
Step 1: Launch Pavtube VC-1 to H.264 converter, and load Blu-ray movies with VC-1 codec
Click the blu-ray disc icon or blu-ray folder icon at the top-left corner of the main interface to import your bluray movie files which are encoded with VC-1. We take the newly released Inception, which is VC-1 encoded, for instance. Soon after loading, you will see all titles in the Blu-ray are listed out, including Main Title, so that you can pick your needed title to do VC-1 to H.264 transcoding at will.
Step 2: Select H.264 encoded format as output format
Click on the dropdown menu of “Format”, and then choose an H.264 encoded format from the numerous output formats provided by Pavtube VC-1 to H.264 converter. If you wanna get HD files, you can choose “HD Video”, if you want to get files in SD quality, you can select “Common Video”. Here we choose “HD Video”> “H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)” for example. You can rip/convert bluray VC-1 to H.264 encoded other formats as well, like MKV, MOV, TS, M4V, 3G2, and more.
Step 3: Customize output file quality
Before VC-1 to H.264 transcoding, you are allowed to click “Settings” tab to adjust video and audio parameters to optimize the output file quality. The adjustable options include codec name, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel.
Step 4: Rip/convert bluray VC-1 to H.264 encoded MKV, MP4, MOV, TS
When the above mentioned 3 steps are done, you can click “Convert” button to start VC-1 to H.264 transcoding. Once the conversion is completed, you can click “Open” button to get the converted files with ease.

How to select subtitle and audio track when processing VC-1 to H.264 transcoding?
Click on the drop-down list of “Subtitle”, then all the subtitle info in the bluray will be shown clearly, including language and stream ID, which enables you to select your needed language as subtitles at will.
In addition, Pavtube VC-1 to H.264 converter also offers an option called “Only show forced subtitles”, which enables you to see subtitle only when actors are speaking a different language. For instance, if you specify English (your mother tongue) as your subtitle, and meanwhile tick off “Only show force subtitle” option, then when actors are speaking English, no subtitles will show up, but when they are talking with each other in French, the English subtitle will appear accompanying with the French.
To select your desired audio track, just click the pull down menu of “Audio”, and then the popup drop-down list will give you the detailed information of all audio tracks, including language, audio codec, and stream ID.
The ability of selecting subtitle and audio track makes it possible for you to rip/convert bluray VC-1 to H.264 encoded MKV, MP4, MOV, and TS file formats in your required language.
If you wanna backup Blu-ray movies to MKV with multiple audio tracks and subtitles streams included, you can try Pavtube ByteCopy software.
