Hi there
I'm still using MAKEMKV as I don't really need to save the ISO (I don't need all the menus etc) --Makemkv allows subtitles too (soft burn in -- not enforced if you wish).
However I still have AnyDVD for cases where I might still need an ISO - I can then re-burn this on to a physical DVD if I actually need to play it on a "Real stand alone DVD player" if anybody still has those in the age of NAS boxes and Smart TV's.
If I need to switch from MKV to another codec then Handbrake is fine --rip to MKV first - it's uncompressed and then say use Handbrake to convert to H265 or whatever.
Hollywood to me is "Yesterday's Technology Tomorrow".
This decision to go for this company is totally BONKERS - and will just encourage people to scour the well known torrent sites for these movies etc.
I'll bet sites like KAT and "The Jolly Rodger" -- still going strong after I don't know how many years of people trying to get it shut probably are thinking XMAS has come early this year. !!!!
Sad day for people who want to get rd of old fashioned things like DVD's -- suggest you get in touch with your local "Green Party" councillor etc -- DVD's have a HUGE amount of toxic material used in their construction. I know SSD's and HD's doo too - but think how many DVD's you can store on say an array of 4 X 4 TB HDD's. !!!!!
BTW - Here's a 100% LEGAL way of downloading excellent programs from BBC so you can watch at your leisure without having to record or whatever
Download get_iplayer -- also Linux -- there's also a GUI for people scare of the CLI.
typical command to get best quality program : get_iplayer --get --modes=best --subtitles --pid=xxxxxxx where xxxx is the episode nr you can get from the standard BBC iplayer application. For radio add: --type=radio and delete the modes=best and subtitles.
Brilliant application if you like BBC stuff and want to keep and play at your leisure.
