I'll be happy to answer questions, of course.
The comments, hopefully, describe the script enough for folks to figure out how to use it.
The script uses the name of the folder which CONTAINS the VIDEO_TS folder as the name of the MKV file. PS1 extension, which is a Windows Power Shell file. Just select the text for the script and save it to a file with a. I apologize that it's a windows-only script, but the logic can apply if someone wanted to convert it to bash. It's pretty basic and I got much of my info on the command-line options from this forum. I'm posting it just in case other folks have the same requirement.

First, navigate to the folder where you untarred the files. Now for the oss file (i.e., makemkv-oss.1.8.9.tar.gz). (5) This will go pretty quickly for the makemkv-bin-1.8.9.tar.gz files. Once in that directory, enter the following at the terminal:
(3) From the terminal, navigate to the directory where you untarred the file named makemkv-bin-1.8.9.tar.gz (e.g., /home/ USER/Desktop/makemkv-bin-1.8.9/). Sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev You can do this from the terminal using the commands below or from a package manager like Muon or Synaptic: (2) Make you sure you install the required packages to compile a program from source. Once you’ve downloaded them, untar them to a location where you can access them (e.g., your home folder or the desktop). So, here are some easy to follow instructions.

Using it in conjunction with Handbrake is the perfect solution for backing up Blu-Ray discs.
It’s a piece of software that makes it possible to back up Blu-Ray discs. If you’re extra cautious with your investments like I am and want to make sure your Blu-Ray discs are backed up just in case, you need MakeMKV.
