    I too use MakeMKV, and then I use Handbrake to transcode (covert) to compress and reduce the file size. For instance a 4K HDR UHD movie will usually be between 30-60GB in size, pending the length. After ripping it with MakeMKV to get the inital file i then use handbrake to transcode it to h.265 or h.265-10 inside a MP4 container (.m4v). Pending how lazy i am i'll use Hardware or Software encoding. That will usually reduce it to 5-15% of the original size. so 3-15GB. If you want to save space and store as much as you can then you need to trasncode (compress) the video files. Lots of way to do this, but up to you the level of quality you want to receive.
