Thanks for the reply Spook. As I mentioned, I'm new to this so you provided a good clear explanation of how things actually work. I do have a question or two for you as a follow up. Since MakeMkv is not a transcoder does this mean that there is no quality loss during a straight conversion from a DVD...

I'm new to this whole process but the MakeMKV program seems to work great so far.

I'm interested in looking at how to convert MKV files I rip from DVD to H264 to shrink the filesize.

Does anyone have any suggestions where I should start? Running in a Windows environment.

Thanks!

Is it possible for the chapter markers to be retained when creating an MKV file? It would be nice to be able to scan forward within a movie to the origianl chapter markers.
