View>Preferences>General>Expert mode = check
Once you've done that you'll see Advanced show in Preferences and the Properties options appear on the main dialogue.

Thanks for your hint. :)
I will take it for my workflow.

I tried the makeMKV option but the video quality degrades somewhat during format conversion. I use AnyDVDHD to remove the copy protection and just rip the entire BD to iso. JR plays the disc fine (Clone CD to automount the iso) without issues and I like the option of playing back additional content whenever JR incorporates the ability to do that. HD space can be added easily when needed. Are you really saving that much by ripping the main movie while preserving the audio+video quality as best as possible? I learnt this the hard way about 10 years ago when I ripped the DVDs only to realize I had to redo them for better quality when HD storage came easy and I was also getting picky about video and audio quality.

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 does not, and cannot, degrade video quality. It rips the video in the original format directly and wraps it in a MKV file.
It isn't a transcoder.
CountryBumkin:
*All meta information is preserved in MKV and compressed media data (video, audio, subtitles) is not changed in any way it is always possible to transcode MKV files into original format - so if your getting some sort of degradation, then you are doing something wrong.

You have done comparisons between iso and mkv version. Which differences do you notice in the picture quality?
Interesting for me was the posting of Hendrik that removing cinavia will usually degrade the audio quality quite a bit.
