There is a thread over on the plex forum where someone has created a blu-ray plugin which uses makemkv + vlc somehow.

I do not know of the details but check over there ... It might work for you.

Lacie external Blu-ray writer works great.

Try the latest released VLC.. It works.

I had no issues at all with ST 2009 (if that is the disk you are trying to backup).
