I have a Mac Pro late 2008 model and I am thinking of converting my Blu ray discs to video files to be played on my iPad and AppleTV.

I read that makemkv tool for the most part is easy to use in ripping a blu ray disc into a MKV file then using handbrake to convert that MKV file into a M4v file.

I also read that makemkv will only work if Mac OS X recognizes a Blu ray writer or a Blu-ray combo drive.

Does anyone know of a cheap good external blu ray writer or a blu ray combo drive that is recognized by Mac OS X.

Not being snarky, but that was answered on the first page of this thread.

I use THIS drive and a discontinued enclosure from OWC. THIS looks to be the closest one that they currently offer.
