output wont play properly.

I recently bought Doctor Who Blu-Ray disks Season 5,6 and specials for 2005 series. Each season comes with 6 disks. I can create an MKV for each disk, which is either 15 GB per episodes (2 episodes per disk) or 36 GB. I am not sure which stream to choose here, so I choose them all and then play them to see if they have the right episodes in them.
I have only gotten to 3 disks now, but none of the MKV play on my VLC player. VLC will start playing it and will just stop. None of the other built in player would play the file. I even tried playing it on my BoxeeBox, there too it plays very slowly with a lot of jitter. I am not sure if it is due to size or if it is due to some wrong information in the MKV file.
I tried to compress the MKV using Handbrake and FreeMake Video Converter; Handbrake crashes at start up and FreeMake creates a small 600 byte file.
I enabled debugging, but got no useful information in it.
I am on MakeMKV 1.8, Linux version. Registered Copy.
I am not sure what to do now. I ended up watching the Blu-Ray on my Blu-Ray player. With young kids at home, it is hard to use the blu-ray player, as they too want to watch Doctor Who and each time they want to watch an Episode, all the disks are out and replacing them can get expensive.
Please advise.
Thanks
