How to Rip Bluray DVD to MP4 AC3 MKV AC3 on PC and Mac

I have a free copy of VideoProc and while I’m very impressed so far, I’m also very disappointed that there is no MKV or MP4 HD AC3 profile available for the DVD ripping. I HATE AAC, and neither my Sennheiser 7.1 headphones, nor my Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player, see any videos converted with VideoProc or any video converting program that use the AAC codec, as being a multichannel/surround sound file, and as a result, they only play back in boring 2 channel stereo. That is absolutely maddening, to be honest.

In order to get the best result to rip Bluray DVD to MP4 AC3 and MKV AC3, I’ve been using a few other Bluray and DVD ripping programs for a while, with very good results, but here I’d like to recommend DVDFab to the best solution for you to rip and convert Blu-ray and DVD discs to MP4 AC3 or MKV AC3.

DVDFab-The Best Bluray DVD to MP4 AC3/MKV AC3 Ripper

I recommend DVDFab because it beats other Bluray and DVD rippers or video converters all hands-down when it comes to video and audio being in sync. It perfectly synced the video and audio while I rip Bluray DVD to MP4 AC3, where four other programs failed miserably! And, DVDFab is far more versatile than other programs, in that I can customize my profiles. For example, I can select audio bitrates up to and including 448 and 640, I can select any resolution I want up to 8K, can change every aspect of the audio (selecting 2, 5.1 or 7.1 channels), etc. And can then save my customized profile.

DVDFab allows ALL audio and video codecs to be selected from the drop-down menu in DVD and Bluray ripping. With DVDFab, you can paste in a source video file, then it reads the data, and clone it, to make a brand-new, unique profile, using the source audio codec, audio bitrate, audio sample rate, audio channel select (2. 5.1, or 7.1)  video codec, video bitrate, frame rate, video aspect.

Finally, DVDFab allows you to select ANY resolution, right up to 3840×2160. Having so much freedom when ripping, converting/downloading, really helps a user to get creative, and being able to paste in another source file, then using that as a profile, is always really useful if you’ve converted a file and love the results, as you can then replicate it ad-infinitum.

So, it is pretty easy if you want the AC3 codec in audio in DVD an Blu-ray conversion. Besides, the AC3 codec is supported in MP4, MKV, M2TS/TS and AVI.
