I Need Free Software To Rip DVD to MKV

[Jam Zilla]

Another vote for Freemake here as well.

Freemake again.

I have used them all and find freemake the best of the best.

Looks very good, didn't know about that software.

I ripped my 500 DVD collection a few years ago, tried handbrake and a few others but didn't like the quality and didn't fancy playing around with the settings so ended up paying for DVDFab. Worked a treat at the time and ripped to .avi so they work perfectly on my PS3.

I would personally try a few such as Handbrake and also Freemake and another and then compare the speed/ease of use/quality before deciding on one. It's a big job if you have a lot of films so you want it to be easy, quiakc but also good quality

Oh and good tip - rip as many DVRAB to your hard drive first and then you can just queue up the conversions and let it go overnight or while at work. The rinse and repeat

It depenRAB how you want to go about it, being a student, I do the cheap and cheerful way

I like to use my rips on my tablet, so I just rip at 1024x576 to avoid aspect issues, depending on the scanning, and at 1rab/sec video. That way. I can have all my dvRAB in 1 1TB drive.
It is a little lossy though, so ymmv.

Handbrake lets you rip one chapter separately, which would allow you to check quality/compatibility.
