Hi folks.

ok, I tried that with the 2009 DVD "Pandorum" (4287 MB).
After remuxing to mkv with MakeMKV, my output DIR has
a filesize of 4534 MB, which is a 6% increase.

Also I coulnd't find the main DVD menu ("play", "bonus features", "scene selection", etc.).

Thank you for any help.

EDIT: It seems that MakeMKV has copied one of the extra features twice (hence the bigger file size). No big deal, just delete one of the duplicate output files manually. With my other DVDs everything went fine and the output size is indeed a little smaller, just as advertised. Solved.

Hi, on some dvds there are alternate scenes (for different languages) and such on the dvd. makemkv will treat this is separate files as there is no easy way to select which one you want from mkv container.

Matroska/MKV does not presently support menus...
