Digitizing large collection of DVD so you can watch them on your Toshiba Dynabook, phone, computer, or tablet anywhere, anytime. Plus, owning a backup means you won’t have to worry about how to fix a scratched DVD or CD. And Many people enjoy converting their DVD with MakeMKV, for it is free and powerful. MakeMKV remuxes/changes the video clips from the disk into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way(no video and audio reconversion). The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. Last but not least, there are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms. So here we will show you the step-by-step guide on DVD to MKV with MakeMKV conversion.
To convert DVD to Toshiba Dynabook via MakeMKV, you will need:
 A DVD disc drive on your computer—you won’t be ripping anything without one. If your computer lacks the proper disc drive, an external DVD or good Blu-ray drive can be purchased online.
 Enough storage on a hard drive to save the ripped files. A DVD will make a huge file, so we recommend you have between 30 to 60 GB of free hard drive space when you are looking to rip more than one DVD.
1. Download and install MakeMKV in your computer.
2. Place your DVD into the tray and launch MakeMKV. As soon as it has started, it will automatically search for a disk. Select your targeted disk and it will scan for you. Theoretically, this process could also remove copyright protections from a disc

3. After you’ve selected your disc, MakeMKV will return a list of chapters and segments that you can rip. To rip only the movie itself, and not extras or bonus material, select only the movie chapter or segment and uncheck all the other boxes.
4. Later, you need to designate an Output Folder where you would like the file to end up once it has been ripped.
5. When you are all ready to go, hit the “Make MKV” button on the right. In general, it takes at least 30 minutes to rip a DVD drive to your hard drive.

Part 4: How to Convert DVD to Toshiba Dynabook through Vidcoder?

Today, we will look at a more user-friendly way to convert DVDs to video files using VidCoder. VidCoder is an open-source DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. The program can rip most DVDs and Blu-ray discs and convert the video to a variety of popular formats including MP4, MKV containers, H.264 encoding, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, and Theora video. It means you can convert Blu-ray to MP4, rip Blu-ray to MKV with ease. It offers several presets along with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to customize the encoding settings. However, VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ve got several options to remove the encryption, for instance, the Leawo DVD Ripper.
Before you begin to convert DVD to Toshiba Dynabook through Vidcoder, you will need .NET 4.7.1. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. If you’re on the latest Windows 10 you needn’t install anything; it has .NET 4.7.1 pre-installed.
