Can the file sizes be compressed in MakeMKV?

Post by TheNorthernSky »

Hi
i'm archiving my DVD collection but the average DVD is creating an .mkv file of 5Gb
is it possible to reduce the output size in makemkv?
i don't see any settings for it

if not what would be the best way to compress them

thanks
Woodstock

No. MakeMKV is not a video transcoder.

Handbrake can do it, as well as several other tools.
