What is the best format for transferring a DVD to a Nexus?

Buying the wife a Nexus and a copy of Breathless for Xmas and would like to put a copy onto the Nexus.

I use this....

Then copy it over.

Handbrake works very well, and comes with Android presets which work very effectively.

I've never used MakeMKV for DVD (only Blu-Ray) but I was under the impression it didn't apply any further compression, whereas Handbrake uses the excellent H264.
