Handbrake to encode the video into the right format that iTunes
recognizes.
Insert target DVD disc into computer’s DVD drive and then launch
MakeMKV to wait for DVD loading. Click the wrench icon on the program
interface and then navigate to “General” tab to set output directory for
saving the result MKV file. At last, click the disc icon field on MakeMKV
to start DVD to MKV ripping.

5. Step 2: Convert MKV to iTunes MP4 with Handbrake
With Handbrake running on, click “Source” to load the MKV files you’ve generated with MakeMKV, specify
the output path and filename, then click the “Start” button to convert. The output format is set as “MP4″ by
