Making MKV files from Blu-rays

[Valnar]

I'm late to the game. I've been doing this to DVD's for awhile with Handbrake and AutoMKV/HDConvertX before that, but now want to finally archive some Blu-rays.

I own AnyDVD HD and have a Blu-ray reader in my PC.

What's the defacto standards these days of taking a Bluray and making a typical compressed rip of it? 4GB for 720p or 8Gb for 1080p, or thereabouts. Want multiple audio and subtitles. Chapters would be nice too. MKV container is a must using x264.

What is THE app these days on Windows for this? I realize 99% of the threads are usually noise, so forgive me for starting a new one on a subject that is probably discussed ad nauseum.
Thanks.

You can use handbrake or vidcoder. They support blu-ray sources and you can add several audio and subtitle tracks and chapters. Rip with anydvdhd.

If you want more control can you try ripbot264 and megui.

Thanks for limiting it to two. I'll check out Vidcoder and compare to handbrake.
