They don't. The lack of quality loss may not be aparrent to you, but there is always loss when using a lossy format.

MKV is a container. The quality of the video depends on the codec used, not how it's packaged. There is a wealth of information on this site. Your first step will be choosing an encoding application that you can learn and understand.

Just remux the DVD movie to MKV, Matroska is capable of keep unencoded video/audio/subtitle streams. I own ByteCopy which works great on Mac.
