Newbie: Successfully ripped, but how to start a movie?

Well, the software ripped the movie, with apparent success. How does one play the movie? There are a few folders and many files. Which file does one play?

Ripped via which method, "Backup", or "Open->Save as MKV"?

If you used "Backup", your player needs to be "Bluray aware", in that it understands and can play unencrypted BD file structures.

If you used "Open->Save as MKV", your player needs to be able to handle MKV files, in which case you just have it open the main movie MKV file.

And for questions like this, this is where Google is your friend. As it will quickly provide starting points and in many cases decent detailed explanations/guides that may give you an idea of what to look for. As well as thousands of existing similar discussions on the matter. Examples:
