Making better use of MakeMKV

[Seeker47]

I found this program promising, though much less convenient in use than Fab, with the latter rendering straight into DVD format. With MakeMKV, I ended up with as many as 25 output files (from a BR, generally less if ripped from a DVD), with the only apparent differentiator or clue being the file sizes. It was necessary to inspect each file to be sure as to what it was, and then to rename them accordingly. Am I missing something, or are there some useful shortcuts one could employ -- say, if you wanted to rip Main Movie only, or Extras only ? (The only program tutorial I see listed are in the form of videos.)

I know with DVDs you can take Movie Only and remove unwanted languages and subs....I own two Blu Ray discs and no computer Blu Ray drive.

its a little barebones in that regard - typically you find the largest file and rip only that

Use ClownBD, it does exactly that for you. You just have to choose proper playlist. Movies could be split up in lots of segments, so better to follow playlist info. It uses eac3to to figure it out and mkvmerge or tsMuxer to mux it from BD.
