While ripping, I see Read or Medium errors such as 'corrupt or invalid at offset' even though my disc is perfectly clean? I'm seeing errors about Volume Keys or HK downloading, how can I fix this? Please read the Attention Shoppers thread as a guide to these forums. According to a list in the forums, only a handful of HD-DVDs haven't been released on Blu-ray. Yes, although some are problematic and supporting them isn't a current priority of MakeMKV. No, but MakeMKV does have a Backup feature for Blu-ray and UHD, which allows you to create a copy of the entire disc, with an option to decrypt the video files. Windows Media Player is also capable of playing MKVs but isn't recommended, as it won't play properly and will display video distortion (see here and here). VLC is also capable of playing MKVs but isn't as robust as the other players. If you wish to compress your MKV file after ripping it, you can do so with utilities such as Handbrake.Ĭommon playback software includes or as well as for 10 bit playback on SDR monitors. It doesn't change or compress the video and audio (with the exception of some audio options), so that your MKV file will reflect the original quality of your DVD, Blu-ray, or 4K UHD. MakeMKV transfers an exact, lossless copy of the content on your disc into the MKV container. It supports audio tracks with varying codecs including Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, 7.1, 6.1, 5.1, Surround, Stereo, Mono, etc.

It supports video tracks from DVDs, Blu-ray discs and 4K UHD discs with varying codecs, resolutions, and framerates including NTSC, PAL, Dolby Vision, HDR, VC-1, AVC, MVC. It is capable of multiple audio tracks, multiple subtitle tracks, chapter breaks, and 3D. It has fewer restrictions and is more flexible than other formats such as MP4. MKV is a 'container' format for packaging video, audio, and subtitles. This FAQ contains answers to many common questions and links to many resources on this forum.
