    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Your Mac's Specs
20" Intel iMac 2.4 Ghz/3G Ram/320HD, Snow Leopard. PBook G4, 1.5Ghz/1.5 Ram/250 HD, Leopard 10.5.6.
I am not sure if it is compatible with Lion, but older versions of Handbrake are possibly your best bet, pre version 0.9.5., as the newer version only outputs to mpeg4.
Failing that you can use ffmpegx, again if compatible with Lion (both should be to be fair, Lion isn't a massive upgrade to the core OS).
Bear in mind results will not look as good as the MKV, but use high quality settings and have patience (it will be slow) and you should be ok.
