o.k.

An interesting info. Well done.

The problem with ripping the full disk to ISO is that JRiver can't work with BD menus. Plus all those ads, trailers, multiple languages, and extras waste a lot of disk space.
It's my preference to just rip the "main movie" and lossless sound track and leave out the rest. MakeMKV will do it either way. If you rip just the movie, JRiver will start to play it without any fuss. JRiver has no problems with MKVs, you might be reading about trying to get 3D movies to work in JRiver.

Agreed. All you really need is MakeMKV. In addition to dealing with DRM it also can handle region codes (in my experience in 99+% of cases), depending on the drive your using. I deal with problem discs via the external ODDs that I've picked up and/or changing PC until I get a working rip. The only hassle with MakeMKV is that it saves files as (by default) title00.mkv, title01.mkv, title02.mkv &&&
The software can't pick up on the track name, so some manual intervention is required.

Oh darn. I didn't know that, and as I use DVDfab Passkey to play Blurays on MC, Passkey is always running in the background, so it always strips Cinavia.
I'll have to change to using MakeMKV on my workstation instead, then copying the result over. Grumble grumble.
Or, I could just change the options not to remove Cinavia. I think that is in the settings. :D

What do you mean with external ODDs?

A little handwork is negligible for the actual freeware MakeMKV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc_drive
- an ODD that you plug in via USB.
Learnt something - look here for info on changing the output filename logic in MakeMKV.
Note: to make the above work within MakeMKV, you need to enable Expert Mode via:
View>Preferences>General>Expert mode = check
Once you've done that you'll see Advanced show in Preferences and the Properties options appear on the main dialogue.
