Free DVD to MKV
Free DVD to MKV is a macOS video conversion utility that specialises in extracting and remuxing DVD content into Matroska (MKV) format. It is designed to help users digitise their DVD collections and preserve them in a universal format that retains all video tracks, audio streams, subtitles, and chapter information. The app supports both standard and copy-protected DVDs, allowing users to back up their physical collections without quality loss or conversion.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear evidence that Free DVD to MKV has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. The search results focus on alternative DVD-to-MKV tools and make no mention of this specific app's architecture status. Since the Matroska conversion space has actively maintained alternatives that already ship natively on Apple Silicon — notably HandBrake, VLC, and MakeMKV — you should contact the vendor to confirm whether a native build is planned before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), when Intel-only apps will cease to launch on new macOS releases. If the vendor cannot confirm native support, consider switching to HandBrake, MakeMKV, or VLC, all of which run natively on M-series Macs and support DVD-to-MKV conversion with similar capabilities.
