External Blu Ray player

[darich]

Hi folks

I'm looking for an external blu ray player so I can rip my blu ray discs onto my NAS. I've been reading up on it and have found that I need a UHD friendly drive which makes it easier to rip 4k discs.
I also know about sometimes having to change firmware depending on the model.
Trying to figure out which ones are suitable is a nightmare....so much conflicting info.

Can anyone give me a few pointers on the best drive to buy?

Thanks

Can't help TBH but for things like this I would ring the boffins at "Richer Sounds". I have always found them extremely helpful and generally know their stuff when it comes to sound and vision technology. Not like the 'sales kids' at Currys and the like, they are useless!

This is where Chris_D would come in handy as he is an AV freak, but he seems to have left permanently.

Thanks man.
Looks like more research needed

I have a BD player in my desktop computer and have ripping software. Think the player was about £25 to build in and the software I paid a lifetime subscription for.
