I saw some one were seeking for some help on the forum. Firstly, let's take a look at the original question like below, and then I will share some useful tips for you to settle all difficulties.
Q: I have lifetime license for DVD Fab Copy. I need to have capability to use MKV for my current project which involves Kodi operation. Is it already part of DVD Copy or can it be added? I think it reduces size of files for storage. One company wants to charge $50 to make it available. I am not tech savvy, so hope forum can help. The provider wanting $50 can be found in search for Make MKV, That search also provides description for MKV. Thanks for help or advice.
Actually, as we all know that DVDFab DVD Copy could input DVD-Video disc, DVD folder, DVD ISO Image file just as the same as its output. In our daily life, this is not enough. People want to copy their DVD/BD collections and want to play them on their iDevices, Android devices, game console, even TVs, however, all those devices could support different video formats, obviously, DVDFab DVD Copy could do this job for you - in fact, it cannot output MKV.
Some people will think of MakeMKV, yep, it could convert DVD to MKV for you but can not compress the video size for you.
