I am ripping the DVDs (and Blu-Rays) in exactly the same way: with MakeMKV, to MKV containers. As the name suggests, MakeMKV rips to MKV containers. MakeMKV is a GUI utility, so there is no output that I can post. I get no error messages, and the MKV files play wonderfully with the Plex client/server software.
I just checked, and it is not upscaling. All of the DVD MKV files are 720x480. The following command works, it just does not take advantage of my video card: ffmpeg -i in.mkv -map 0 -codec:a copy -codec:s copy -max_muxing_queue_size 4096 out.mkv (I use the "max_muxing_queue_size" part because I sometimes get errors if I don't) >And I also wonder if the rip is _upscaling_ the dvd to 1080 instead of >leaving it at SD resolution since about the longest dvd movie will be around >a 5GB mpeg2 file. > >How are you ripping the dvd? >Into what container? >(complete command lines and output, please). > >I almost always decrypt/rip from the dvd to a .vob file, then convert from >there.
