MakeMKV

 How to use MakeMKV?

When MakeMKV or any other application that uses LibDriveIo library talks to the drive, the library checks if drive firmware version is supported. If it is supported, the library uploads a small software a firmware extension into drive volatile memory. This extension exposes a new alternative interface to read any data from the disc.

Unlike HandBrake, MakeMKV does not transcode; it removes the digital rights management from a Blu-ray Disc and creates an exact copy, at its original frame size and data rate, in a Matroska (MKV) multimedia container which can then be used as a source in HandBrake.

MakeMKV gets around practically any anti-copy protection system, so the only thing you have to worry about is choosing the parts of the DVD you want, no matter the format. This application works pretty quickly, but the extraction time depends on the speed of your disc reader and the quality of the clips being converted to the output MKV.
