MakeMKV rip to AVC (h264) rather than VC-1 format

#1 Post by Eyedoctor » Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:20 pm

Have been a registered user of program for over a year and congratulate you on a job well done.

I would like to be able to use MakeMKV in conjunction with MkvtoMp4 to allow me to rip from blu ray to a Plex/Apple compatible format WITHOUT re-encoding.

Problem is that for MkvtoMP4 to simply repackage rather than re-encode, the mkv format must be AVC (h264) rather than VC-1 (see question http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3406 ... ost2203738 and answer (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3406 ... ost2205179 to MkvtoMp4 program author "oreons").

Is there any way currently to accomplish this in MakeMkv?

Currently Plex needs to transcode the mkv produced from blu-ray/dvd rips by MakeMKV on the fly. I would prefer to avoid this by repackaging into a Plex playable format using MkvtoMp4.

Thanks again for your efforts.

MakeMKV is not an encoder, it will rip in whatever format is on the disc. If you need to encode the video to h.264 you need to use something like Handbrake.
