DVDFab HD from Best DVD Ripping Tools
This DVD ripper is a free version of DVDFab DVD Copy, but with severe limitations to functionality. It can’t compress DVD content on demand, but is still a powerful free tool for older DVDs and BDs. It possesses the basic decryption functions and acts as a positive solution on the market.

The size of the MKV is the size of the original streams - MakeMKV doesn't transcode, it just (decrypts and) repacks. I'd say the result will be somewhere between 15GB and 30GB. Whether Handbrake can deal with this MKV I do not know (my ripping times are long gone), but I would be surprised if it couldn't, given the praise this tool has received here and elsewhere.
I use AnydvdHD with Hanbrake to decrpypt blu-ray and save as mkv with x.264 compression and they end up being about 2-3gig per movie. I just takes to long, about 3-4 hrs per movie. I have since switched to ripping with DVDfab and it uses CUDA ( your graphics card processors ) and it rips blu-ray in 30min vs. 3+ hrs.
Im actually surprised that Freemake Video Converter did not make the list? I haven't found a better software that is easy to use, easy to configure, maintains settings, covers a plethora of conversion types, and most importantly, is FREE!! How did that miss the list?
Stop shilling for your app and learn how to read the articles: "The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five." "Want to make the case for your personal favorite, even if it wasn't included in the list? Remember, the top five are based on your most popular nominations from the call for contenders thread from earlier in the week. " Trying to pimp your app in the comments of a post will go better for you if you tell us why it's worth using instead of bitching about the post itself, spammer.
