Ahoy everybody. Lately I was thinking about buying Blu-Rays to actually own the media that I enjoy watching. I need some recommendations for player/ripper hardware so I can both backup make a backup and also share what I'll get with you guys.

Let me know of something good and preferably cheap that I can get in the EU. Thanks, guys :)

you’re looking at potentially 40GB per 1080p film.

Yeah, the largest movie I have right now is my remux of the 4K transfer of Lawrence of Arabia, clocking in at 97.3GB. So many 40-80GB remuxes though. Funny enough, the 1080p remux of LotR RotK extended edition punches way above its weight in file size just because of the length, it’s 44.6GB itself. This is all hevc but again just remuxed not reencoded.
