As for ripping discs, I have been using MakeMKV for years.

 
Just last night I remembered why I dislike .mkv format
 
I tried fast forwarding though one (on the HDD, via the dvd player) and
it could only go up to 3x speed (3 arrows), vs the 6 arrows an mp4 will
go at, and it seems like a logarithmic progression in the speeds.
 
So to get an hour plus to a specific spot in the movie if it's and mp4
takes 2-3 mins maybe but mkv takes 20 or more.
 
No Thanks!
 

As I said, there are multiple mkv->mp4 converters out there.

Oh I know, I have one.  I just can't see where I would want to
deliberately rip to .mkv format only to then have to convert it
afterwards when I could just rip to .mp4 in the first place.
Why generate more work for myself to no gain?
