I have a trial version of MakeMKV and have been using it to great effect with a range of commercial Blu-rays. I've managed to successfully convert around 90% of the discs I've tried so far. Generally I find the quality of the resulting MKV files to be excellent.
Whilst I would like to keep a selection of the latest movies as MKVs and thereby enjoy the very highest quality, I'd like to convert most to MP4s, import them into iTunes and watch them on my Apple TV.
I have two tools that can do this - Handbrake and a very impressive converter from a company called Emicsoft. Both work well, but the Emicsoft converter is a good deal faster than Handbrake and, to my mind at least, produces better results.
The problem I have is that whilst I can play all the MKV files perfectly with both VLC Player and Plex, both Handbrake and the Emicsoft converter can't recognise around 50% of the files created by MakeMKV. Handbrake reports no valid source found and the Emicsoft converter reports that it failed to load the file. The failures always occur on exactly the same files with both converters, and both are always successful with the same files.
I have tried stripping out subtitles as suggested by others on this forum, but I have not found this to help at all.
All of this is with OS X 10.5.
I have recently downloaded a Windows version of MakeMKV and it is possible this solves the problem with some of the problem movies, but I need to do some further testing to confirm this.
My OS X trial of MakeMKV is about to expire and I'm reluctant to go ahead with purchasing the product until I can get my success rate up. Having said that, the movies I have managed to convert are so good that I may just go ahead anyway, as none of the other products I've tried get even remotely close.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Converting from MKV to MP4
Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
Hi, MakeMKV is free while in beta! Just use the key provided by "mike admin"
http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053
As to titles not being able to play: Please tell us which titles (and region) do not play. And post the full output of mediainfo
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/
Using windows version of makemkv will not help, as makemkv just dumps data from the disk!
And btw, the emicsoft crap you talk about is a ffmpeg ripoff, meaning it uses the same (free open source) tools as handbrake but charges money for it. See here: you can see they still have unstripped libavcodec and ffmpeg code! http://i37.tinypic.com/qwyems.png
Try using a more recent handbrake build (the main one is almost a year old). https://build.handbrake.fr/
Also read this thread if you want to know how to compress your mkv's correctly and not have to rely on a gui: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1313
Also also if you want to preserve the full quality do not compress the video, just remux the files to mp4. This can be accomplished with various free open source tools. (mp4box, mencoder, ffmpeg etc)

Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the temporary key! Thanks too for the info regarding the Windows version and other tools.
Below is the MediaInfo output for three BDs - Gladiator, The Dark Knight and Ocean's Eleven. Gladiator carries a universal region code, neither of the other two are marked, but were purchased in the UK (region B/2). The mkv files all play fine with Plex. I have several more examples if required.
I have downloaded last night's build of HandBrake, but it still reports no valid source on all the previous failures I've tried it with.
Here's the MediaInfo outout: -

Below is the MediaInfo output for three BDs - Gladiator, The Dark Knight and Ocean's Eleven. Gladiator carries a universal region code, neither of the other two are marked, but were purchased in the UK (region B/2). The mkv files all play fine with Plex. I have several more examples if required.
I have downloaded last night's build of HandBrake, but it still reports no valid source on all the previous failures I've tried it with.
Here's the MediaInfo outout: -

Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
Hi, im not sure if its still true but handbrake used to have this issue with pgs subtitles in the mkv. can you re-rip or remux the file excluding all subtitles then test again with handbrake? Gladiator at least should definitely work. The other two are VC-1 which unless its interlaced should work too.
You should also update to makemkv 1.5.8 too
btw plex uses ffmpeg to read files just like handbrake, so its likely just a handbrake issue.

Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
Success! 
I've re-ripped Gladiator using 1.5.8 with all subtitles switched off. I haven't yet done the actual encode with handbrake, but it successfully finds and scans the one title returning the correct duration. I've usually found if I can get this far then all will turn out okay.
I'll re-rip some of my other problem BDs this evening and set handbake going overnight on all. I'll let you know if I have any issues.
Thanks for your help skittle.

Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
All progressing well now - Gladiator and a number of other 'problem' BDs now successfully encoded to MP4. So thanks again for the help.
Having a problem with the following: -
The rip goes fine, but Plex doesn't seem to recognize it as a video and only plays the audio track. It hangs handbrake's scan.

Re: Converting from MKV to MP4
Not much outside of windows proprietary codecs can play interlaced VC-1 streams.
