MakeMKV is the perfect tool for converting various types of media to the popular MKV format. MKV is commonly used to keep multiple media files together, such as audio tracks and video, while also keeping the metadata, chapters, and other components intact.

It's incredibly easy for any user to use MakeMKV, regardless of skill level. Pick out a disc you'd like to rip and convert to MKV, and drop it into your computer's disc reader. At this point, you're ready to go! Select "File" and then "Open disc" to get started.

Once MakeMKV has a chance to analyze the disc, you'll see the disc contents display in the interface. From here, you have quite a bit of control over what you choose to save and convert to MKV. MakeMKV is incredibly fast, so you'll find that it won't take much time at all to export your media.

You can use this program on encrypted media, such as protected DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. Additionally, it will always be free to use MakeMKV for ripping DVDs. Ripping Blu-ray content is still in its beta stages with MakeMKV, and that's why it remains a free option for now. Be sure to snatch this title up before the developers charge for the Blu-ray ripping feature!

Once exported, you'll find the video quality is excellent and alarmingly close to the original content. Best of all, you can watch your MKV files anywhere!
