“How to convert BDMV to MKV? I have a BDMV folder on my hard drive from a Blu-Ray disc. I’d like to know how I can create an MKV video file from it, if that’s possible. Do I first need to create a mountable BR disc image (like an ISO of a DVD)? If so, can someone suggest a freeware or shareware app for this?”
