    Did you try ripping it first as 720p (dvd5) and then re-encoding it to mkv?
    I always rip mine to 720p (dvd5) and then re-encode them to avchd mp4 using enchd_1.2.221.0. I usually get a 2-3gb file with it and the movie is in hd

    When dvdfab is done ripping your blu ray to an iso format, click finished and eject your blu ray. Then click on blu ray ripper and do a drag and drop of the iso into dvdfab(if your version supports it). then select mkv for your output format. It should re-encode the blu ray to mkv format that should be under 4gb

    Are you running a purchased copy of dvd fab? Demos will leave a water mark. You have to also select only the audio track that you want. If you select every track on the blu ray, it will combine all the tracks together.
