Whenever I follow a link to a subdomain, I like to open the main website.
Haha glad you enjoyed it
Remuxing just means changing format without transcoding. For example: https://docs.tdarr.io/blog/how-to-remux-or-change-a-file-container-using-ffmpeg
So just using MakeMKV is fine?
Yes. You won't need a guide unless you're trying to compress it with Handbrake or the like.
- Acquire a Blu-ray disc.
- Insert disc in your computer's optical drive.
- Use MakeMKV to copy the contents of the disc into .mkv files.
- ???
- Profit!
Hmm, feels like it's missing stuff. Does disc go shiny side up or down?
The easiest tool is MakeMKV. But you'll often encounter opportunities for efficiency (eg stereo DTSHD to FLAC) as well as requirements to convert* for hardware compatibility. That's where ffmpeg and MKVToolNix are good secondary tools for customizing the remux contents.
*Not transcoding. Rather, lossless formet 1 -> lossless format 2.
Converting from one lossless to another is still transcoding as you are changing the encoding format of the data. The conversion being lossy or not is related to the choice of formats, not the process itself.
