So you created an .mkv file from the movie and that's the result? For the whole file or just parts? And is that only with that disc or with every disc?

Hey sidetracked, meant to answer for a while, but with moving and all I didn't get to.

You don't need anything special if you're already equipped to work with non-3D Blu-Rays, it's just another video stream that will be extracted into the output file or folder.

Of course, Exact Audio Copy doesn't exist for macOS. However, dBpoweramp does and contains the AccurateRip feature that is also used in Exact Audio Copy. I've personally been using it for years to rip all my CDs and can recommend it. It's not a free app, however.
