Rip Blu-ray to H.265 codec for viewing on 4K TV
"I have large Blu-ray collection on my room shelf. Some I purchase, some I rent,
some I borrow from friends, some I borrow from the library. I would like to rip them to digital format for viewing on my 4K TVs. To save physical storage space, I would like to output my Blu-ray disc to MP4 format using H.265 codec. Any ways to achieve that?"
