I've only done one, but it was the same process as a regular Blu-Ray. The drive I already had was compatible.

The hard part I'm having is playback with all the bells and whistles. Afaik, support for HDR10+ output on computers is sketchy, but blu-ray menu support on playback platforms (android tv, webos, tizen, roku) is non-existant. Anyway, most devices top out at 100M ethernet, which is below the max bitrate of 4k blu-ray (peaks of 150Mbps). I've heard good things about Apple TV, but also that it's very difficult to manage unless you've got other Apple products, and my Apple IIe doesn't count.

I have a 1G Android TV device, but it still stutters in playback of high bitrate scenes when I ripped to a mkv.



I regularly play UHD HDR content I ripped from my blu-ray collection to my 4k AppleTV over 1Gbs Ethernet. I use the Infuse app instead of Plex, no stutters, no issues, looks great!

sidebar: I've had a lot of problems with the AppleTV plex app, it does not play some HDR content well, or at all. Plex on my nVidia Shield works well.
