Set the desired output file size, Under Video->Target size, like 8100MB for a dual layer DVD-R or 4400MB for standard DVD-R. In Handbrake load the mkv, Source->Video File.Ĭhoose the High Profile->Film Preset (or use profiles for PS3, Xbox 360, etc) If you want to shrink the video you can easily use HandBrake. Or play using Windows Media player with ffdshow and haali media splitter installed.

You can now play the mkv using for example VLC Media Player, KMPlayer or MPC-HC. (if MakeMKV can't read the Blu-ray Disc then you might need to install AnyDVD-HD and run in the background) You need a lot of HDD space, around 10-20GB. Just choose the main movie, the biggest title, keep one audio track (I usually keep the AC3 DD audio track) In MakeMKV choose the Blu-ray drive (if MakeMKV can't read the Blu-ray Disc then you might need to install AnyDVD HD and run in the background). HandBrake (if you want to shrink the movie)ĪnyDVDHD (may be required for some Blu-rays) And also how to shrink it to a MKV, MP4 or AVI.

I will show you the basic steps how to make one single mkv from a Blu-ray Disc video, no quality loss.
