Is it possible to use makemkv with local files?

I already have the files of a Blu-ray disc in my local machine with the following structure:
.
├── _AACS
├── BDMV
└── CERTIFICATE

I'd like to know if it is possible to use makemkv to work with these files, maybe using some emulation tool to create a virtual BD drive.

I'm using Linux.
Thanks.

Not necessary, especially if they've already been decrypted. Simply have MakeMKV open the index.bdmv file in the BDMV directory.

If they're still encrypted, then it becomes more troublesome, because you probably did not retain the information MakeMKV needs to calculate the decryption key.

Thanks. I was able to do that as you said.

But the software is giving me this warning:

Do you know what does it mean?

People usually see a similar message when AnyDVD is running in the background on their system. I don't think AnyDVD runs on Linux but you might have something else running. MakeMKV is saying that it wants to handle the decryption of the disc it is about to rip but it thinks some other program is going to try to do decryption instead. It might or might not work.
