best workflow for DVDs and Blu-rays
RC23:
I am looking for the best workflow with DVDs and Blu-rays. Ripping will be done by DFDfab PassKey and JRiver to ISO format. Then the ISO will be converted to mkv by MakeMKV.
If I scan the JR MC20 forum by the term "mkv" there are several postings with reading problems with these mkvs. Does come with MC21 an improvement?
Hint: DFDfab PassKey is until 31th August for free if you buy a lifetime license of DVDfab products.

You will need the makeMKV product (free) http://www.makemkv.com/. However, MakeMKV will also remove the copy protection so you don't need DVDfab.
The problem with ripping the full disk to ISO is that JRiver can't work with BD menus. Plus all those ads, trailers, multiple languages, and extras waste a lot of disk space.
It's my preference to just rip the "main movie" and lossless sound track and leave out the rest. MakeMKV will do it either way. If you rip just the movie, JRiver will start to play it without any fuss. JRiver has no problems with MKVs, you might be reading about trying to get 3D movies to work in JRiver.

MakeMKV is only able to read DVDs and Blu-rays without "Cinavia" protection... DVDfab can ...

Cinavia is of no importance if you plan to only play it in MC, and not anything else.
Note that removing cinavia will usually degrade the audio quality quite a bit. Its not like other copy protections.

Cinavia is only required for licensed Blu-ray players. Any unlicensed player such as JRiver or MPC-HC won't have a problem. Any Blu-ray ripped to MKV by MakeMKV will playback just fine in JRiver.
