I'm new to this and I'm sorry if I missed a simple setting, but...
I want to reduce the size of the generated file - is this an option?

No, that would require an encoder.
You can process the file MakeMKV creates with Handbrake to compress it, however you will loose quality.

Quality may be lost, but I've never heard of loosening quality…

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about it and hence didn't realise that it didn't encode. I don't mind losing some quality for smaller file size.crowfax wrote:No, that would require an encoder.

That's when you've had too much quality, and you have to let your belt out a notch.Romansh wrote:Quality may be lost, but I've never heard of loosening quality…
