Looking for Recommendations: External 4K BluRay Drive (USB)
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:32 pm
Description of problem or question:
Not really a hand brake question - but I figure a lot of you would have suggestions on this topic. I am looking for a good, reliable, 4K bluray drive (External) that I can plug into my Laptop (preferably via USB?) to use HandBrake on with some new 4K movies I have gotten. I currently have an external bluray drive - but I do not believe it will do anything with 4K movies??
I have a laptop with Windows 10, 17" screen and the proper resolution for 4K (UHD). I have the storage space for the movies. I think what I need is an external drive (preferably on the small physical size) - that will read 4K movies. I figure then - with either Handbrake or MakeMKV - I can rip the movies to disk. Yes - I will probably lose some quality - but I am noticing that DVDs and regular blurays movies are being replaced by the 4K versions.
So - any thoughts as to what others are using at this point?
How well does Handbrake deal with the 4K discs?
Any comments or suggestions are welcome
