Ripping UHD to iPad Pro quality
Ripping UHD to iPad Pro quality
Advise needed. Totally fine backing up my 4K UHD BluRay content however I want to add a step of also converting said film into a super high quality version for my 12in iPad Pro. Does anyone know an automated way to do this or do I need to take the MKV and open up inside something like Handbrake (I’m on Mac) and convert it? I’m also not sure what would be the best present for iPad Pro. Any thoughts on this automation or setting would be super helpful.

Handbrake. Convert the file to MP4, which then will be readable by the iPad.
MKV files would required a different reader on the iPad than standard. You can do it, but if you're thinking in terms of "gen-you-whine iPad software" (supplied by Apple), you have to go to MP4.

Re: Ripping UHD to iPad Pro quality
Infuse is a pretty good recommendation for use on Apple products.
8player Pro is another option I've used. On Apple TV 8player Pro will play some of the more esoteric formats used with Japanese anime better than other options.
I suspect with either player, no trip through handbrake is needed. UHDs are pretty big though, around 60GB +/-. That's a lot to copy onto an iPad. Depending on your use case, you might be just as happy with a smaller 1080p file from a mundane blu-ray. A trip though Handbrake or ffmpeg might reasonably reduce a 30-ish GB blu-ray down to a 10-ish GB h.264 file, or a 5-ish GB h.265 file (although making the h.265 will likely take a lot longer depending on your hardware).
