Bluray has way more DRM and it's pretty hard to run on a Linux machine. I'd
just reccomend using DVD, I don't think the quality difference is worth it.

MakeMKV makes quick work of getting rid of DRM on both Blu-ray and DVD.
It's free-as-in-beer and works on Linux (though not on the Raspberry Pi).
I don't rip much anymore, but it never failed me back when I did.
