Scope: playback, not disc extraction

This guide starts with an existing UHD Blu-ray remux. Disc ripping, drive selection and extraction procedures are outside its scope. MakeMKV's FAQ is an external starting point. A dedicated, current UHD extraction-guide link will be added after review. Keeping the intended video, audio and metadata is still relevant to playback verification.
