    I’m somewhat leaning towards DVD sometimes because you can reliably rip them and store the originals away. Blu-ray either works easily, or it’s a major pain that can only be done by peeking into the memory of a Windows Blu-ray player to extract the key.

      I’ve never had a normal bluray that I couldn’t rip with MakeMKV. It’s the UHD blurays that are a pain to rip.

        The only UHD disks that I have had problems ripping are brand new releases. Then I give it a few days and MakeMKV has no problem.

            I ended up with an archgon MD-8107 and it has been great. It is external and plugs in via usb, and works great on both my Mac Laptop and my Linux box with MakeMKV.

            I think I found it via the forums on MakeMKV to make sure I got one that I could put the correct firmware on.
