This guide provides a simple way to complete lossless backup Blu-ray Disc to lossless mkv format keeping multiple audio tracks, subtitle streams and chapter markers on Mac(Mavericks included).

My problems are I can't seem to create a mkv of the full blu ray (BD) with all the sound tracks. Each time I do it I only get one audio sound track. One time Japanese. I would like to choose English French and Spanish. Sound tracks and subtitles. I also see a problem when down converting the BD from HD to SD. Again I can't seem to control the audio sound tracks that get copied. Is there a way to go from blu ray direct to SD MKV multi track?
