Are you referring to the movie 2012, or a film called "2012 Moive"?

If you mean the film 2012, 3 copies generally is what you find on a Disney-related company's disks, and one of them will be "00800.mpls", with 801 and 802 being the other two. The first has subtitles and logos in English, while the other two are generally Spanish and French. You make your choice depending on the language you prefer.

"2012 Moive", cannot say.

Just to solve this quickly:

I am pretty sure, this is about the movie: 2012 (2009) [tmdbid-14161]

The one with 16 chapters is the file you want, aka the normal movie. The one with 39 chapters is a slightly different setup using the same underlying m2ts-file, as on the real BD it includes the second video "Picture-in-Picture Roland's Vision" track and activates it during playback. The 39 chapter marks are when these pop up videos start. The third one you saw is most likely just the pure m2ts-file of track 740, which is the main movie with everything, so no playlist adjustments, but I would stick to mpls-files (playlists) for chapters and so on, not the pure m2ts, unless you know exactly what you are doing and why to take raw m2ts :-).

Side note: If you want the picture-in-picture video stream as well, as far as I know, MakeMKV cannot extract it by itself or keep it in the resulting MKV, it doesn't even show the existence of it. You would have to use something like MKVToolnix on the real m2ts-file (740 in Stream folder) and extract the PIP-video-track manually. You could then mux it back into the MKV from MakeMKV, if you wanted to. But it will no longer pop up and the chapter marks are also not there then. The PIP-track by itself would be mostly black screen with little bursts of video at the 39 chapter marks you mentioned.

Cheers.
