But even if you already own a Blu-ray or DVD drive, you might need to buy a new one to play, burn, or rip discs.

A Disc Player: You’ll need a RW drive (rewritable drive) to play, burn, and rip discs.

Neither of these are technically 'kosher', but they will get the job done. There are several guides on how to do this which will serve you better than me struggling to explain it. This is a much more powerful, albeit much more involved method, but it will allow you to get the image looking exactly how you want it. The harder way: Color space transform in Davinci Resolve. This works pretty well for some movies, and only OK for others. The easier way: Transcode the MKV file in handbrake, and enable the BT. There's 2 ways I've handled this before, and they both work, but there's a higher effort, higher quality path, and a lower effort, lower quality path. Some do actually take advantage of the HDR gamut and will look totally wrong and very washed out. Some 4K blurays are *barely* HDR and converting them straight out of MakeMKV with DCP-o-Matic works just fine.

That part is usually pretty straightforward, the issues may come in once you try to make it a DCP.

MakeMKV has a list of compatible drives, I have a LG WH14NS40 that I flashed with custom firmware ( follow this guide). Yes, MakeMKV works great to rip the MKV off the disc, but you need to have a compatible drive. It is possible, but it has a couple pitfalls.
