DVDFab DVD Ripper

To convert ISO to MKV, choose remuxing when you want to keep the existing video and audio streams, or re-encoding when you need a smaller file. DVDFab covers both paths and places title, audio, subtitle, profile, and task controls in one interface; MakeMKV focuses on MKV remuxing, while HandBrake focuses on compression. Load the ISO, verify the main title, choose MKV Passthrough or a compressed MKV profile, and check the finished file before processing the rest of your library.

To convert a DVD to MKV, you need a DVD ripper that supports MKV output. MakeMKV is for lossless MKV copies from DVDs, HandBrake is for compressed MKV files, and DVDFab DVD Ripper offers both. The workflow is basically the same: insert the disc, open the software, select the DVD drive as the source, choose MKV as the output format (DVDFab supports both compressed and passthrough MKV), and start the conversion.
