It is the software that is available for Windows/Mac/Linux. You can ditch elements like extra language tracks or the trailers for a smaller file size. MakeMKV helps you to convert DVDs and Blu rays to MKV and preserves all discs information. After that, ripping is just a matter of popping in a disc, waiting for MakeMKV to read the files, and then choosing which segments to export to MKV. You may also want to go into the settings to change the output folder. Then, to split an MKV by chapter, I recommend using MKVToolnix and following this guide. Then play it back (using something like VLC Player), and find out which chapters belong to which episodes. First, create the MKV containing all episodes using MakeMKV. Once your Blu-ray drive is set to go, download MakeMKV, install it on your PC, and then activate it using the most current license key. The trick is to find out which chapters belong to which episodes.

If you don’t see your drive listed, you’ll have to do some online searching to figure out its capabilities and compatibility with MakeMKV. The MakeMKV forum thread on UHD Drives gives more details on recommended Blu-Ray drives and instructions on how to flash their firmware. Some existing 4K UHD drives can have its firmware flashed to allow ripping-otherwise, you’ll have to buy a standard Blu-ray drive to enable reading of 4K discs.

To get started, you’ll need a compatible Blu-ray drive and the MakeMKV software.
