  • Handbrake will rip DVDs, but not Blu Rays. That’s were good ol’ MakeMKV comes in.

    I rip with MakeMKV (which will do DVDs as well) and then convert/encode the MKVs with Handbrake.

    I do the conversion/encoding because the ripped files can be 35-50 GBs for regular Blu Rays (UHD Blu Rays are even bigger!) and I can get them down to 3-8 GBs with minimal quality loss.

    I then toss the smaller MKVs on my jellyfin server.

    EDIT: Handbrake CAN rip Blu Rays but only if they arent copy protected. MakeMKV is able to rip protected Blu Rays and DVDs.
