Does iTunes accept MKVs?

No, unfortunately it doesn't, which is why I was mentioning conversion to MP4 if you want to play them through iTunes. It's really a waste though, since you're losing the advantage of a Blu-ray in the first place.

I think it has as much to do with Apple renting and selling hi-def video themselves through the iTunes Store. They don't want to make it easy to a person to rip hi-def video themselves and cut Apple out of that business. It's also why they never put Blu-ray drives in Macs.

The MKV files also take up so much space that it's probably doubtful most people would want to use them anyway on a standard desktop Mac or Mac mini. I just ripped the cheesy (but classic) 70's movie Logan's Run last night from Blu-ray, and just the movie itself takes up over 18GB.

Glad I could help with what I know about ripping Blu-rays. That was a fun post to write, though a little time-consuming. I wanted it to be a good reference for anyone wanting to know how to do that with a Mac setup. :-)
