Which external disc reader to rip 4k for Zidoo ?

[Superslim007]

Hi I'm looking for advice,

I have always used a cheap media player box for watching MKV and an LG UBK90 for watching my 4K discs but I am building a dedicated H/T and want to buy a decent media player and store all my 4K and HD blu rays on.

So I've decided on the Zidoo Z1000 pro it seem to tick all the boxes without being to expensive.

What I need help with a choosing a relativity good external 4K bluray player to rip my discs for either Imac or PC.
Not bothered about burning discs just want to play them and convert to store on the Zidoo

I would rather use my Imac but I can use my Windows PC I've heard Imac's can be a bit limited.

Also need some free/cheap software for good conversions of the discs.

Thanks

Run the resultant mkv’s though Handbrake afterwards if you want to compress them down further.
