That's a small snapshot of my own collection when XBMC was indexing. (all ripped from my own BRs or DVDs)

You need to get an external BR Drive like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-BE12LU30-External-Blu-ray-Re-Writer/dp/B00447CFLW/

I then use makeMKV to create full size copies of the discs, which are stored on a NAS.
