6. Does MakeMKV Lose Quality?

No. MakeMKV is very popular among users, not only because of the free MakeMKV beta keys. One important reason is that MakeMKV won't make any change, to the content of the source DVD/Blu-ray discs. It will simply extract the source data, such as the sound tracks, subtitles, video, and audio streams, and put them into a separate MKV file. Therefore, the output MKV is almost as large as the size of the source DVD or Blu-ray discs.

7. What format does MakeMKV use?

As its name suggests, MakeMKV uses MKV as the output format. That means it won't make any changes to the original DVD video and data. So it is an ideal choice if a user wants to keep the maximum DVD quality. On the other hand, the MKV files also come in very large sizes, especially when you rip a Blu-ray disc to MKV using MakeMKV.

8. Why is MakeMKV not reading Blu-ray?

While all features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during beta, some Blu-ray and DVD discs are not fully supported.

But for Blu-rays, you will have to pay for an activation key after a 30 day trial period. Or, MakeMKV will stop reading Blu-ray discs.
