Was it gentoo you were recommending? Or was it another?

Re: Handbrake, Flatpak and Pop OS

[Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss]

It should so long as you have the proper driver support for BluRay. Believe me, 
I have an entire library of DVD’s that I have collected over the years and I 
simply wished to have them electronically available for the room mates here. It 
was easy enough to rip them and place them on a 10TB HDD. Lately, I have been 
converting all my old H264 mp4’s to a newer H265 format. This has the net 
effect of reducing file size without loss of audio or video quality. In any 
case, since I still retain the originals, I am in no danger of facing copyright 
infringement (I don’t share online).

Hope this helps.
