To play MKV, MP4 or AVI file install K-Lite Codec Pack Standart and open file with Media Player Classic.
Hotkeys for Media Player Classic:
Ctrl+L - to load subtitles. W - to turn off subtitles. F1, F2 - to move subtitles. Cltr+O - to load audio.
To rip DVD or Blu-Ray:
1) Get the disc. Buy it or rent it from local library.
2) Extract contents of the disk into MKV container with MakeMKV.
3) Compress MKV with HandBrake. I use H.264 MKV presets. Before starting thoroughly check Audio and Subtitles. If there is 5.1 track it should stay 5.1 in the output. If HandBrake uses 100% of CPU, Video->Advanced Options: threads=2
