MakeMKV beta has been in beta for the better part of a decade but that hasn’t stopped it from ripping the innards out of DVDs and Blu-ray discs. But don’t let the ‘beta’ fool you though. There’s not much to think about in terms of confusing presents and settings. This no-frills ripper converts the contents to high-quality MKV format (hence the name). What we like about Make MKV beta is its ease of use.

On the downside, Handbrake won’t rip audio-only CDs/DVDs and for that, you will need other apps. It offers a wealth of Presets which it saves in MP4 or MKV formats/ output containers i.e General, Web (Gmail), Devices( e.g Android, Apple, Roku, XBox), Matroska, Legacy.įor purposes of automation, you can create a batch scan to queue up multiple encoding jobs but or manually do one at a time, if that’s how you roll. Handbrake is a completely free, open source multi-platform video encoder available on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and one of the most popular video-only rippers out there.
