MakeMKV is a tool to make digital backups and a freeware video transcoder that is fast and easy to use. This tool is available for Windows, Linux as well as Mac. The tool has its own set of decryption tools. It works well and a free video converter.
First off, many of you know that MKV represents Matroska Video. In simple words, it is a format that contains various files and has the ability to hold an unlimited count of video, audio, and tracks with subtitles laterally with the metadata.
It means that it is capable of putting the whole movie with more than one sounds and subtitle tracks, info about chapter and movie thumbnail into a single file.
Being as an open and free from patent MKV earned wide support currently and rapidly becomes off law to store movies.
Simply put, MakeMKV can quickly stream decrypted video with no immediate conversion to a broad range of players to watch the Blu-ray as well as DVD files with the help of your favorite player on the chosen operating system or favorite device.
Matroska video format has an ample number of benefits that we are going to discuss below. Let us have a look at these below.
This MKV software is free and open for all. There is no need to hold any patents or licenses and anyone can implement it free of cost. The best software media player out there such as VLC as well as MPlayer have full assistance and are available at a zero cost.
There are no illegal features attached to the MKV files as you can play these files on any hardware and there is no need to hold an HDCP-certified card or any other trusted environment. Further, there is full assistance to play these files on the laptop and watch anytime as you want, even if no DVD or Blu-ray or any other drive is available on the laptop.
No restrictions implemented on the file as you have to this on a particular player. No area-based limitations imposed on it. You have full control over the content for which you have paid for.
These MKX files are very easy to change. If you want to remove unwanted audio from the files, then you can do it with the help of free of cost software. In addition to this, it is simple to convert the MPEG-2 video into H264 to make the file five times smaller.
These MKX files are compact. The content available on the MKV files is 10% smaller as compared to that of DVD files and approximately 40 percent smaller than Blu-ray files.
As the MKV File format is a good storage container but it does not mean that it always played directly. There is no issue to play MKV files on the laptop or computers as there are a lot of players and codec packs that allow MKV files on any outlet to play. It is easy to play on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
On the flip side, some hardware players do not allow MKV files to play directly. For that, there is a need for a transcoder to convert the MKV files into the format that the player can understand. All the meta details are protected in MKV and compressed video, audio as well as subtitles that will not change in any way. Moreover, the conversion of MKV files is also possible to transcode in the original format.
MKV files, for instance, generated from a Blu-ray disc may be transcoded back to image with no loss of freeware transcoding tools.
Here, we have some freeware players that support MKV files natively as we have jotted it down below:
For transcoding MKX files, you can use the tsMuxer tool that is free of charge. It transcodes files generated either from DVD or Blu-ray back to Blu-ray disc.
The MakeMKX program is very tangled inside but the user interface is too simple. The three-step process has followed to convert a video disc that we have given below.
On the very first screen of the program, display all the options of drives. At that time, open a disc or file on a hard drive.
When the video structure is opened, then you can see the content in a tree form and the disc contains all titles normally. It includes the main movie and bonus features.
You can opt for titles that you want to save and what audio tracks to keep under each title. For a single item, you need to see all details such as size, codec, item, type, language, and other related info. After you have chosen what content you want to view, then just tap on the “Make MKV” button as displayed.
The conversion screen will show progress. The time to convert the disc is calculated based on one factor that is how quickly the drive read. The DVD Disc takes around fifteen minutes to copy.
