Amen to that.

I really like MakeMKV, no-nonsense, and handles subtitles well.
Rips DVDs and Blurays.  Years ago I re-encoded my entire DVD collection with 
handbrake (~400 DVDS),
but now I'm going back through them ripping a 1:1 MKV image of each movie (I 
don't care for extras).

Side note: After 16 years or so, a lot of DVDs just don't work any more.  No 
scratches or de-laminations, they just don't work.

I purchased a MakeMKV licence too.
(although I do wish the Linux version got the same love the Win32 & MacOS 
versions get)
