Most of the blu-rays I have include multiple playlists with
out-of-order segments to deter people from ripping.  There are some
good fora out there where people report which playlists work for them
based off specific versions of the disc (e.g. some retailers have
custom versions.)

MakeMKV definitely is a must for blu-rays, though.  Well worth the
money to keep the media separate from the players.  Just temper your
expectations of timing - it takes me the better part of a day to
convert a film to x264/MKV.  It's a good thing Handbrake has a decent
queuing system.
