    Hi,

    I have used the combination of MakeMKV for ripping blu ray and Handbrake to shrink it. It works fine but recently when I wanted to back up one of my Blu Rays a problem appeared. MakeMKV ripped the file fine but when I went to handbrake to shrink it, handbrake that it may be copy protected/badly mastered or in a format which handbrake does not support. The MKV file that MakeMKV madeis perfect and run without problem the only problem is that it is 24GB. I really need to decrease its size.

    Is there a solution to this or do I use another sofftware to shirnk the 24GB into 4-5GB without significant loss in quality.

    Best Regards... Ali

    It might be because of some codec that handbrake doesn't support. So give more information, what video codec and audio does the mkv has? Identify using MediaInfo.

    Or it's better to convert/shrink with Ripbot264 (first rip with dvdfab decrypter or use anydvdhd).

    You could try shrink it with another tool like xvid4psp, staxrip or xmedia recode.

    Or try convert the mkv to a ts with tsmuxer and then shrink the ts to mkv with handbrake.
