Publisher review: MakeMKV offers owners of DVD movies, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD to convert to a free format, MKV, without protection and can be played on any compatible carrier. The application transcodes the media owner (often encrypted) into a set of MKV files maintaining key information without change. MakeMKV retains chaptering and multiple video / audio sources with all meta information (language, type of audio track ). Finally, the conversion is as fast as the optical drive allows.
