until i figured out i could rip them to mp3s and put them on a stick. usb plugs on car stereo was a revolution

Only to find out later that 128kbits doesn't quite cut it and have to restart the process

Yep, first did my entire cd collection to 256k ogg vorbis files. Then went back and reripped them to flac, used musicbrainz Picard to tag everything and just did conversations to mp3 so my car stereo could play them.

Now I'm about to go back through my dvd/blueray collection and do full rips without transcoding.

How would one go about doing this? I've been maintaining my bluray collection because I want my favourite films always available but I haven't tried to rip anything in over a decade and I think I did it badly even then.

A software recommendation would be brilliant. Cheers.

MakeMKV is what I've been using.

If you want to rip 4k blueray you have to do a bit more work, like buying one of a few specific drives, and possibly flash open source firmware on it.

1080p is fine for me. That's great, thanks mate :)
