Option 6: MakeMKV

MakeMKV is a free cross-platform (Windows, Linux and Mac) DVD and Blu-Ray conversion software that converts the video clips found on discs to MKV files.

MakeMKV reads protected and unprotected DVD and Blu-Ray discs, preserves chapter information, video and auto tracks, and meta information, and requires no additional software to convert the media.

The program itself is dead easy to use. Pop in a DVD or Blu-Ray, wait for it to be loaded and click on the "open disk" button that is displayed in the interface.

MakeMKV displays the content of the disc to you giving you options to check or uncheck individual items as you see fit.

Once done, set an output folder and hit the "make mkv" button to start the conversion.
