A remux is a perfect 1:1 copy of the video and audio tracks from a Blu-ray, just placed in a different container (usually MKV).
A correctly tagged 1080p Blu-ray remux of Kong: Skull Island would appear as:
Kong.Skull.Island.2017.1080p.BluRay.REMUX.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-MUXTER.mkv (~28 GB) kongskullisland20171080pblurayremuxavcd
Or, from a known group:

Kong: Skull Island premiered in March 2017 as part of Warner Bros.’ “MonsterVerse.” The film’s ambitious visual effects, large‑format cinematography (Shot on 35 mm and IMAX‑compatible cameras), and dense sound design make it a compelling case study for high‑definition home‑media releases.
The term “remux” refers to a lossless re‑packaging of the original source streams (typically the Blu‑ray’s 1080p/24 fps video and Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD audio) into a new container (e.g., MKV).

The AVCD suffix, popular among collectors, denotes a hybrid disc format that couples Blu‑ray‑quality video with CD‑level audio tracks (e.g., lossless PCM or FLAC) and a compact disc‑style filesystem. This configuration is often used for archival distribution in enthusiast circles.
