How to convert a DVD to MKV without quality loss?

[Chris230291]

Cheers mate i'll take a look.
Handbrake just totally butchered a DVD :/ lol


EDIT.

Is there some sort of chart i can refer to that will tell me the best format to convert "x" format to, with the correct/best/optimised settings?

there is no best format realy, they are just containers at the end of the day, if you want to keep as much quality as possible set the res to be identical to the source file, and dont put the bitrate to low.

I generaly stick with about 6.5-7.5Mbps for 1080p, 2.5-3.5Mbps for 720p and 1.5-2Mbps for dvd, higher of the range if its fast paced/lots of explosions ect like an action movie and lower of the range if its something with slower camera work say something like forest gump, alot of fairly static camera work (minus the war section) as you have a ton of storage you could just keep the the upper ranges tbh.

Are there any programs that can work out the best solution for me? It seems like a mission to keep testing different settings for each piece of media.

I am using Pavtube ByteCopy which can meet my demands of convert Blu-ray/DVD to MKV with lossless quality. You can download the free version to have a try. Hope it can help you as well.

You can give a try at EaseFab's LosslessCopy tool. It's very easy to use and provides a high definition rip without quality loss.
