Hi!

No, MakeMKV does nothing to alter the format of the videostream...

Sorry if I didn't make it clear but since the disk is vc1 and your tv doesn't support vc1 then you can either:
1) reencode with handbrake or similar ffmpeg/x264 gui
Or
2) buy a new playback device that supports vc1

those are your options, besides that there is nothing you can do. You can make a very good quality encode with handbrake.

No such thing as 'lossless copy 1:1' when dealing with data already encoded in a lossy format.

VC1 is a lossy compression.
H264 is a lossy compression.

To go from lossy to lossy, you must de-compress/re-compress the video, and you will lose video quality in the process. No different than going from MP3 to MP3 or JPEG to JPEG. If the quality is real good to start with, and the quality of the re-encode is also very good then there may be no noticeable loss of quality.
