I'm not sure what's making you dizzy about all this? MakeMKV is just a ripping program; you insert a bluray disk, load up makemkv, then choose which titles you want to save to disk. Very simple actually. If you want more advanced features, you can pick and choose audio tracks to save, subtitles, convert HD to flac, but none of that is terribly difficult if you're "into" home theatre at all. I just had to understand what the two HD / Core streams were all about. It may be beyond the avg mom / pop, but I'm a bit of a techy anyway and I like the media server idea far better than losing / scratching blurays. And I don't have a home theatre setup at all; no tv, no bluray player (bluray reader is SATA / computer based, not home theatre based) etc. Just open a file manager and double click an ISO / MKV and I'm good to go. Sometimes it's a matter of choosing what you want to be convenient. You may find grabbing a physical disk from your collection and stuffing it in your panasonic convenient, but I don't; first you have to locate the disc, then you have to pop it in, then you have to sit through previews (if they're forced); then you may decide "nah, not into this movie tonight" so you go through it all over again. And then your new disk you just popped in has scratches so that $20 that you just lost My setup is much easier once it's learned and a bit of upfront work is done to set it up (but I use my zfs headless server for many things, not just storing my media).
