When people are looking for Blu-ray or DVD ripper software, MakeMKV is always recommended or mentioned by many people. The main reason is that MakeMKV is free or because MakeMKV rips Blu-ray or DVD quickly. Of course, MakeMKV is a great software for people who need to rip Blu-ray or DVD occasionally. However, for people who often need to convert Blu-ray or DVD to digital, MakeMKV reveals many shortcomings. For example, MakeMKV can only convert Blu-ray or DVD files to MKV format files, and the free version of MakeMKV does not support ripping Blu-ray files. Therefore, MakeMKV is actually difficult to meet the needs of many people to rip Blu-ray or DVD. Fortunately, this tutorial collects 6 of the best alternatives to MakeMKV and focuses on the use of one of them.

Part 1: Best 6 MakeMKV Alternatives for Mac and Window

In fact, when people use MakeMKV to rip Blu-ray or DVD, they can easily find the shortcomings of MakeMKV. For example: when Blu-ray or DVD discs have region protection, MakeMKV cannot rip them; MakeMKV cannot back up Blu-ray/Blu-ray ISO files to MKV. Therefore, I think it is very necessary for us to find a substitute for MakeMKV. As a digital movie collection enthusiast, I often need to use Blu-ray and DVD ripper software to help me rip Blu-ray and DVD to various video files. Therefore, I have summarized the following 6 software that I think are the best MakeMKV alternatives.

1. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper

In my opinion, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is not only the best MakeMKV alternative, but also one of the best Blu-ray Rippers. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper supports more than 180 video and audio formats. Therefore, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper can rip Blu-ray and DVD to various video or audio files, including 4K MP4, 4K MKV, FLAC, etc. In view of the current popular disc protection technology, the developers of Leawo Blu-ray Ripper are constantly updating the disc decryption and protection removal technology. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper can decrypt Blu-ray and DVD discs protected by AACS, BD+, the latest MKB protection technology and CSS-DVD protection technology, and then rip them to various video files. In addition, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is also a full-region Blu-ray and DVD ripper software. That is to say, no matter which region the Blu-ray and DVD discs belong to, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper can break through their regional restrictions and then convert them to the video files required by users. When ripping Blu-ray and DVD discs, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper not only supports batch lossless ripping of Blu-ray and DVD discs, but also allows people to set the parameters of the output files and retain multiple audio tracks and subtitles. In addition, before ripping Blu-ray and DVD discs, we can also use the video editing functions provided by Leawo Blu-ray Ripper to merge, crop, and add watermarks to the output videos. In short, when looking for the best alternative to MakeMKV, I found Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.

2. EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper

The latest version of EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper adopts hardware acceleration technology, which makes it rip Blu-ray and DVD 30 times faster than before. Moreover, compared with MakeMKV, EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper rips Blu-ray and DVD faster. EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper can rip Blu-ray or DVD discs to MP4 or other formats without loss. EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper also provides various functions for editing videos to help users get videos that meet their needs. Before ripping Blu-ray and DVD, EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper can also keep the original audio track and subtitles for the output video according to the user’s choice. However, EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper is not free. Although EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper provides a free version, the free version of EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper can only provide fewer functions and has various limitations when ripping Blu-ray and DVD. You need to pay to unlock all the functions of the EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper.

3. Winx DVD Ripper

Winx DVD Ripper is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems and is specially developed for ripping DVD discs. As one of the best MakeMKV alternatives, Winx DVD Ripper supports converting DVDs to various video formats. The interface of Winx DVD Ripper is very simple and beautiful, which allows new users to quickly master the method of using it to rip DVDs. In addition, Winx DVD Ripper also provides video editing functions, which can edit the output video before ripping the DVD. However, Winx DVD Ripper also has some disadvantages. Winx DVD Ripper cannot rip DVDs losslessly. The quality of the video converted by Winx DVD Ripper is far inferior to the source DVD video. Winx DVD Ripper only allows users to save one subtitle in the output video. In addition, although Winx DVD Ripper uses hardware acceleration technology, it still takes a long time to rip DVDs.

4. HandBrake

If you are looking for a free alternative to MakeMKV, HandBrake may be one of your best choices. Currently, HandBrake is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux. HandBrake can not only rip Blu-ray and DVD discs, but also can be used as a video conversion software because it supports the conversion of various videos. In addition, HandBrake can also add audio tracks and subtitles to the output video before ripping Blu-ray and DVD. However, HandBrake cannot rip DRM-protected Blu-ray and DVD discs. In addition, HandBrake’s interface is a bit complicated, and you may need to spend some time learning how to use it. In addition, HandBrake does not provide a video preview function. You may need to use it to rip Blu-ray and DVD multiple times before you can get the video that meets your needs.

5. Any Video Converter

Actually, Any Video Converter mainly provides video conversion services. However, ripping DVDs is an additional function it provides. Of course, you can also use it as a substitute for MakeMKV. Any Video Converter supports converting DVD to video or audio formats, including MP4, AVI, and MP3. Because Any Video Converter is very easy to use, it is very suitable for users who are using DVD ripping software for the first time. Of course, Any Video Converter also has some disadvantages. Any Video Converter cannot rip Blu-ray. Any Video Converter rips DVDs slowly.

6. Freemake Video Converter

Freemake Video Converter is only compatible with Windows systems. Currently, Freemake Video Converter has not developed Mac or Linux versions. Freemake Video Converter can convert DVD to MP4, AVI and MKV formats with high quality. Moreover, the Freemake Video Converter converts DVDs very quickly. Freemake Video Converter has a simple interface. You only need to import the video files from the DVD into Freemake Video Converter according to the prompts, and then select the output video format to rip the DVD to video. However, Freemake Video Converter only supports ripping DVDs, not Blu-ray. Moreover, Freemake Video Converter cannot rip DVD discs protected by the latest DRM technology. Although Freemake Video Converter rips DVDs quickly, the process is not lossless.
