Hi, I believe it wasnt intended to be offensive comment... rather just a simple (probably more so than you would like) explanation.

MakeMKV will take the main title (or whatever titles you want) and put it into a mkv container. One mkv for each title. mkv file is just a video file, like avi and any player that supports mkv and the video/audio codec will be able to play the mkv.

Yes.

You are discussing two different functions of MakeMKV - 1) making individual .MKVs for each file on a BluRay and 2) Making a fully functional, FULL DISC backup of a BluRay.

For a FULL DISC BluRay backup, select the "Backup" icon...

BTW - I am not familiar with "PLEX", but I'm guessing it's Mac-specific. If so, you might want to check out the Mac-specific sub-forum here.
