So I purchased my very first extern blu ray reader/burner, my first blu ray movie. I ripped the movie using MakeMKV.
I do have a few things I don't understand. First, the movie I purchased is Blu ray. Does this mean, after ripping with MakeMKV, it becomes MKV instead of Blu ray? Or is this just a file extention .mkv so windows/apple/linux devices can read this file? (since then can't read blu ray), but the movie itself stays Blu ray?
When I click on media information in VLC the codec shows: Windows Media Video VC1 WVC1, Shouldn't this be Blu ray?).
Also, how do you guys rename your files? So my movie is a 1920x1080 blu ray, what is the best way to rename the file? The name should exist of movie name, dimension, blue ray but which version? Is it BD-RIP? Sound meta? Is it DD 5.1?
How can I found out all these informations?
The MakeMKV information before ripping shows other things than after ripping within VLC meta information. Which one should I believe and use as the filename?
