That is handled by MakeMKV, which the blog posts refers to.

"MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way."

Is makemkv doing anything different comparing to libdvdcss2 ?

It says on the about page that makeMKV is open but I couldn't find a link to a source.

MakeMKV can decrypt most of Blu-rays. libdvdcss2 IIRC is DVD only.
