Need a playback copy, detailed video encoding controls, or disc streams kept in MKV? Start with your goal and compare the tools by what they actually do.
BROOVIS brings DVD conversion, music-CD extraction, video conversion, target-size compression and standalone audio extraction into one app. Choose MP4/MKV for video. Free includes 3 DVDs and 3 music CDs in full, counted separately, and unlimited video-file conversions with output up to 1080p. Check the edition limits before you start.
HandBrake is a free, open-source video transcoder. It converts supported video and unprotected disc sources to MP4, MKV or WebM, with presets and detailed controls for video, audio, subtitles and filters. It is a useful choice when you want to tune the encoding settings. Video is re-encoded, rather than copied unchanged.
MakeMKV focuses on saving DVD and Blu-ray video in MKV, preserving video encoding and available tracks, chapters and metadata. Consider it when keeping disc streams matters more than making an MP4 copy or choosing a smaller target size. Check the developer’s current usage and purchase terms.
