DVD to MKV with multiple audio tracks and subtitles

dvdmatroskavideo

I wish to back up DVDs to MKV files, keeping the video in its original MPEG-2 format so as not to lose any quality, often with multiple audio tracks (the original and any commentaries) and all subtitles available on the DVD.

What is the best way of doing this?

So far it seems Handbrake comes close but won't let me use MPEG-2. I think I can do it using DVD Shrink to rip the MPEG-2 file and individual audio and subtitle files, Haali Media Splitter to demux the video so it can then be read into mkvmerge and combined into the MKV.

Is this really the best way to do this?
