The second Blu-ray ripping program I'd like to introduce to you is MakeMKV. As you can tell from its name, it makes MKV videos. And they are no ordinary MKV videos, they are lossless. The program is capable of ripping Blu-ray/DVDs to lossless MKV. You can keep all the original data from the disc like the audio tracks and subtitles in it with no problem. And MakeMKV won't compress the data. It will keep all the original data intact. So you will get a MKV video that's just as good as the original movie.

How to use Leawo Blu-ray Ripper to rip Blu-ray to MKV losslessly

First I'm going to show you how to use Leawo Blu-ray Ripper to rip Blu-ray to MKV with no quality loss. Leawo's been integrating and optimizing its product line and the Leawo Blu-ray Ripper was integrated into a bigger software package called Prof.Media a few years ago. Check out how to rip Blu-ray to MKV losslessly with Leawo Blu-ray Ripper in the instructions below.

Step 1. In order to open Leawo Blu-ray Ripper, start Leawo Prof.Media first as mentioned previously. Find the Blu-ray Ripper button on the top row of icons and click on it to load the Blu-ray Ripper module.

Step 2. If the disc's been place in your disc drive and is ready for ripping, then click the Add Blu-ray/DVD button and choose the Add from CD-Rom option on the following drop-down menu. You should then see the Blu-ray disc name. Click on it and the program will start to have the original Blu-ray data imported to it.

Step 3. Typically a commercial Blu-ray movie disc contains multiple videos and the program gives you the option to select the videos you need other than directly having all the videos ripped at the same time. You will see a list of all the videos in the disc on the right side of the following interface and 3 buttons above the list. Use the 3 buttons to have different videos selected. Here's what the 3 buttons are for: Full Movie helps you select all the videos, Main Movie helps you pick out the main movie from the list and Custom Mode gives you the right to manually select the videos you need from the list. Use the right button to get the needed videos selected and click OK to move forward.

Step 4. The program will then present to you a list of all the videos you just chose from the last step. Note that Leawo Blu-ray Ripper can also convert Blu-ray to MP4 and other formats other than lossless MKV. So you are required to set the lossless MKV format as default in the settings. There's a dedicated button that shows the current output format. It's on top of the video list and by default shows the MP4 Video label. Click on it and continue to select Change to open a panel called Profile. Continue to go to Format>Lossless Video and you will see a profile with the name Multi-track MKV. It's the lossless MKV profile we are looking for. So just click on it to make it selected. You will also be sent back to the video list as soon as you click on the MKV profile. After setting the lossless MKV profile as the default output format, you get to select as many audio tracks and subtitles as you want. On each video file there's a Subtitle and an Audio button. Click on them to display a drop-down menu that contains all the audio tracks and subtitles. You can check multiple or even all the audio tracks and subtitles.

Step 5. After going through the above 4 steps, you are probably ready for the final step to start. Just click the Convert button above the video list and the program will show you a new sidebar from the right. On the sidebar you can see the default output path on the top which you can reset by clicking the … button next to it. And then there's no more settings left and you can start to rip Blu-ray to MKV by clicking the Convert button that sits at the bottom of the sidebar.
