MakeMKV

Nowadays, most of the content comes from streams provided by various online services. Then again, there are plenty of people out there who still own and use Blu-ray and DVDs. If you are part of the latter and want to make sure that you can enjoy your content on other, modern devices, then you will need a specialized tool to help you with the conversion.

MakeMKV is a one alternative to consider, especially as the program is known for its reliability in preserving most information without making any changes.

The program comes with a minimalistic, old-school interface that is easy to navigate, regardless of your experience with similar tools. Focused on simplicity, the tool enables you to convert your content with just a few clicks. As far as the conversion is concerned, you will be happy to learn that it can go as fast as your drive can read data.

As previously mentioned, the tool preserves the audio and video quality and, although it keeps most of the information, it has been reported that there is not any noticeable loss of quality. The tool keeps meta-information, including any special features or settings, such as menus, audio language or subtitles, for instance.

The app is capable of reading and decrypting discs that are protected under the latest AACS and BD+. You don’t need to worry about whether the output will be supported by a smartphone, tablet, computer or home theater. This is because the files can be converted into an open and free format, namely MKV.

The direct advantage of the decryption capability is that you can create backups of your discs, so you will at least have a digital copy of the content to rely on in case of damage or loss.

In the eventuality that you are looking for an app to help you make the most of the content you stored over the years on discs without too many headaches, then perhaps you can consider giving MakeMKV a try.
