14. If you've got a lot of storage space

you don't even need to run the files through Handbrake. DVDs aren't bad, they're 9GB or less, whereas blu-rays can approach 50GB, which is why we use Handbrake to re-encode them.

If you're looking for a way to stream your video files from your macOS computer to your iOS devices, you should be able to do that with iTunes Home Sharing (it's a bit different for macOS 10.15 "Catalina" and macOS 11 "Big Sur" ). I myself use Plex, a cross platform media server which let's me stream my media (music, videos, pictures) to macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android clients. Clients also available for Roku, AppleTV, and many smart TVs.
