Suggestions on a drive?

Post by Simplywolf » Tue Aug 15, 2023 4:55 pm

Trying my best to rip a few of my Blu rays so that I can take them on a road trip with me. Non of them are UHD and I'm not looking for a fancy drive or anything. Is there any suggestions for a cheep USB Blu ray drive that just works?

I keep seeing the ones on Amazon for 50/60 bucks, will those work just to rip regular Blu rays or will there be problem with using them?

yeah they work but for future UHD capability it might be worth the extra $20 now than spending 60 now and then 80 more in a few years if you want UHD but thats up to you
almost any drive works with makemkv for regular bluray and dvd only a special drive is needed for UHD
