Has anyone one tried and can answer the thread question on DVDFab MKV profile settings to work ?Īn ISO is just a container for the your VOB, basically it is like having a zip file for your video.

I think MKV is container for MP4 ?.so, how much size is reduced to go MKV from a MP2 DVD ?Īlso, for me I want this to be one step so since I’m going from DVD to MKV using DVDFab is preferred.
