Thanks all, stupid me I ripped all my 4k before posting this, as far as I can see there is no difference at least to me, I seem to watch the films more often than when I had to get a disc from the cupboard and play it

No. But your HD capacity will go down a lot haha. I'm not sure HDD capacity is large enough for 1:1 4K transfers if you have a large collection, cost of several large capacity hard drives aren't really worth saving the two minutes it takes to walk over to the cupboard open a flip case etc.

Not like CD's where you can put thousands of CD's on an affordable drive.

Have it all on my unraid server 50Tb approximately

I think 4K BD movies are something like 60-80GB each? I'd strip audio tracks you don't want. Possibly extras ie LOTR extras

for my use 4K storage on HDD just wouldn't be economical. Doable for 1080p MKV movies as those aren't too bad.

I run it through a mkv program and strip all the foreign audio but it doesn’t cut it down much
