How to keep DVD chapter markers when copying onto QNAP TS-469L NAS

Wondering how to backup your DVD disc to MKV on QNAP TS-469L NAS with keeping chapter markers? You are in the right place. The article will show you an easy and effective way to get it done.

As myself, I own a large collection of DVDs and like to watch them on the subway to work with iPhone, stream DVD movies to my QNAP TS-469L NAS server so kids could watch them on iPad, etc. As languages we use German, English and Spanish, so I have to find out a workflow to backup DVD collections with chapter marker and it's better to include at least three audio tracks in one conversion.

In this case, ripping DVD with chapter markers so as to keep a backup of your original disc on QNAP TS-469L NAS is a wonderful idea for you. Then comes the question: How to copy your DVD with keeping chapter markers? Here an easy and effective way is to convert DVD to lossless mkv format with no recoding and 1:1 quality.  

With such a tough task, I had spent a lot of time searching online, tried several SWs - some ok but always something that does not quite to do what I need. Luckily, I finally got this Pavtube ByteCopy.

Overall, this program is a pro version Blu-ray/DVD ripping program, it can not only rip and convert latest Blu-ray/DVD to various video formats for playback or editing, but also backup Blu-ray/DVD to lossless MKV preserving all the multiple audio and subtitle tracks as well as chapter markers. In this way, you can turn to any chapter marker at will when playing in some players such as VLC Player. 

Tips: 

1. Although this ByteCopy should be able to rip Blu-rays, I have no experience with it as I don't have an external Blu-ray drive. But one of my friends had a test and said it's quite worthy a try.

2. Mac version is also available: Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.
