  From there, you'll have to decide what quality you want to save your content at. If you want the highest quality possible (a direct copy of what's on the disc) you can just run it through MakeMKV and call it a day. If you want to save some space, HandBrake is a popular tool for re-encoding videos, though there many options (including Tdarr if you want to bulk convert things, though there's a bit of a learning... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Handbrake v 1.6 - Doesn't scan DVD

  I think most folks use MakeMKV for the ripping these days. I rip everything and figure out what tracks, etc. I am using in my encode. Then I use Handbrake after that. MakeMKV is effectively free (so far) as long as you don't mind re-entering their free registration key every couple months. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Is there an “east button” for ripping Blu-ray’s?

  Do you have a Blu-Ray drive that a Linux distro like Ubuntu can see? If so, then you can proceed to learn more at https://makemkv.com/ — but I personally would not try to circumvent copyright protection since it’s against the law. Good luck. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Changing the order of blu ray episodes

  Or you can rip using MakeMKV and google which title is correct for your disk. You can store the file on an external USB drive or similar so you don't use all the space on your Mac. Once the MKV is ready, you can use HandBrake to compress the file down a lot without losing too much quality if you want the size smaller. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

  MakeMKV will be the easiest option for DVDs and Blu-rays. Copying Blu-rays is technically only free for 30 days, but it's free while in beta (and it's been in beta for over a decade now). If you don't want a 1:1 copy of the disc to save some space, HandBrake is a popular tool to reencode the file. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

  If you want a 1:1 copy of the episode, you can open it in MakeMKV to extract all the individual episodes. If you wanted to compress those down, HandBrake is a popular option. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• You know what? now I'm gonna pirate ever harder!

  Intel discontinued Intel SGX which is needed to play Protected 4K Streaming And 4K Bluray Content, now while players like cyber link can't play it anymore the only way is to rip them via MakeMKV which you need a special drive firmware to bypass the DRM, and it's also hell to rip discs from some studios like Lionsgate, best place to see it is r/makemkv and the website https://makemkv.com. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

  For 1080p/DVD's pretty much any optical drive will get the job done. For 4K discs, look into the suggestions in this MakeMKV forums thread. That leads into the software side of things, since you can use MakeMKV to copy the disc to your computer. Some people also use HandBrake or similar tools to compress the video, since 1080p discs can get over 30GB, and 4K discs easily reach the 60-70GB range. There are also... - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

As usual, thank goodness for MakeMKV letting me avoid knowing this was ever an issue: https://makemkv.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
