When I have a Blu-Ray Disk that I want to rip the whole disk to .mkv I end up with multiple files. Is there a setting where I can rip the entire disk to just one .mkv file?
Thanks for the help guys!
Mike

Since the BD itself is made up of multiple files, the only way to get "everything" in "one file" would be to rip it to an ISO image. Then, you would need a BD-aware player to be able to decrypt the files within it when you play it.
MakeMKV is going to either pull the tracks as MKV files (if you "open" the disk), or pull the raw data structure (directories and files) if you do a backup. The former does the decrypting as it copies the video files into the MKV, while the latter allows for decrypting the m2ts video files as it writes them to the disk.
