How to rip UHD Blu-ray to an MKV file?


Matroska multimedia container format 'MKV' is widely used in the media conversion industry, and its most important feature is that it supports a large number of stream formats, so DVD-Cloner XR adopted this format. You can keep all the video, audio, subtitle and other information in the UHD Blu-ray disc. So we recommend the MKV format when you rip UHD Blu-ray.
