I was analyzing the MakeMKV executable in VirusTotal, the file was downloaded from this same website and VirusTotal tells me that the file is infected with 2 trojans
Can someone tell me if it's true?

Again?
Seems like someone likes to list it every couple of months, and usually for the same thing (an install file for 32-bit).
Same advice as usual - submit a copy of the download to them to have them notice that they screwed up again. Or trust your chosen antivirus product's opinion.
Edited to add: Just submitted the URL for the MSDOS file, and
VirusTotal currrently says, "No security vendors flagged this URL as malicious". I wonder how long that will last?

False positives happen all the time. 65 vendors out of 68 say it's safe, but people always seem to focus on the outliers? If you use one of them, file a report & get them to reassess & explain.
BitDefender had a problem w/ v1.17.2 & the MakeMKV author provided comments:
