I recently ripped a Bluray after years of not using optical media at all and found MakeMKV to be a quick and effectively free way of doing so.

Is audio sync still an issue with ripping/encoding? I used to rip all of my DVDs and transcode to DivX. Getting the audio & video to sync up was always a pain. I've been thinking about ripping my Bluray & DVD collection again (in better quality) since I don't have the room to store my media in the same room, let alone the same floor of my house, as my TV.

I have ripped close to 1,000 Blu-Ray and DVD discs with MakeMKV and never encountered audio sync issues. It’s not a thing anymore.

There was a time I used handbrake to reduce the file sizes by encoding to x265 and that never resulted in any audio sync issues either.

BluRays are fully digital so just moving it from the disc into another container on the computer, without touching the actual video and audio data, is a possibility. It's called a "REMUX".
