Rip Blu-Ray To Plex Server To Set Up Home Theater

Media Servers are rage recently. Among many servers on the market, Plex Media Server must be on the top rank because it successfully integrates the advantages of Netflix and Kaleidescape into itself: it’s practically free and can provide playback for your Blu-ray movies in their original quality. Here, we’re going to instruct you how to set up your own Plex system and rip Blu-ray into Plex server for playback. 

Before setting up Plex system and successfully running it, you should make sure: 

1.You have the free Plex Media Server software which sends your content to the playback devices. 
2.You need a Plex Client playback software on a home theater PC, like PS4, Roku. Here, we take PS4 as the instance to build the home theater system. 
3.You have to store your Blu-ray to computer hard drive so that Plex can recognize the content. In the later part of the article, we will show you how to backup Blu-ray to computer for Plex with professional Blu-ray Ripper 

Part 1: Install Plex Server 

1.Download Plex Media Server for free from the Plex Downloads page, choose the platform you need or device you need and download the program. Here, we choose Windows platforms as an example. 
2. Install and set up Plex Media Server. Install Plex by following the usual installation method, launch Plex Media server and an install icon will shown to the bottom right of the screen. To setup the Plex Media Server, choose “Media Manager.. from the Plex icon in the system tray. 
3. Add local movies to Plex Media Server. Click the “+” icon on left side to open “Add library” window, select “Movies” type, then press “Next”, you can then choose a language if need be, then click “Next” to open another window, press “add folder” to find the folder where your local movies are located, click “Add library” to finish movies to Plex Media Server adding process. 

 

4. Sign your Plex account. 
From the top-right triangle drop-down list, select “Sign In” option to log in with your plex account or sign up if you don’t have an account. And you will finish the whole Plex Media Set up process. 

Part 2: Access Plex content on PS4 web browse 

1.First, open the web browser on your PS4. This is found on the home screen and the icon looks like a globe with www on top of it. 
2. The PS4 web browser should now open, so go to the address bar at the top and type in www.plex.tv/web. 
3. The Plex website should now load, and you need to sign in with the same username and password you used when setting up Plex Media Server on your computer. 
4. You’ll then be presented with a menu showing the movies you have added to your libraries. 
5. You can begin browsing and enjoying your movies straight away!

It can rip all the newest and region-locked Blu-ray to Plex supported format with original video quality. It can output nearly all video and audio formats you already saw. In addition, it can extract subtitle from Blu-ray and move over all contents from Blu-ray disc with all audio/subtitle tracks and chapter markers in lossless MKV. 

Step 2: Start to rip Blu-ray to Plex 

Launch ByteCopy on your computer then click “File” to load Blu-ray movie to the app. Afterwards, hit “Format” to choose output format. You should select output format according to the supported format of the playback devices. PS4 can support MKV, MP4, etc. So you can specify the target format from “Common Video”, “HD Video” and optimized format column “PS3/PSP” profile. 

 

Step 3: Meet personal need (Optional) 

There are many tricks in the app. “Merge into one file” on the interface can combine your several chapters. “Settings” enables you to adjust video/audio parameters. “Edit” allows you to trim video footage, crop unwanted area, add watermark, etc. All of these are designed for those who have special needs. 

Step 4: Finish the Blu-ray ripping process 

Click the button “Convert” on bottom right to get down to ripping Blu-ray to Plex. And after conversion, you’ll get the converted Blu-ray in output folder for Plex. Then follow the steps mentioned on the top of the article to add Blu-ray to Plex server. 

Conclusion 

Now, you have put all the contents including Blu-ray to Plex server. You can access these media from your any devices only you have Plex account at home or on the go.

DVD Ripping Software-2D 3D Movie Tips -2016 Best 3




DVD playback will never be limited in DVD Drive and professional DVD Player. There are many people watching their DVD movies on TV, PC, Tablet, iPad in Home Theater via NASPersonal Cloud Storage,Chromecast. Rich media playback solutions riches the media life. However, only if you want to separate your DVD playback from DVD drive/player, you need to rip DVD to digital video format. And the work is based onDVD Ripper 

 

However, there are plenty of great utilities designed to rip DVD discs and and give you popular video that are playable on any device you choose, whenever you choose to watch them. Too many choices makes no choice. Many people just get a headache when they need to select only one in hundreds. Here are three of the best 2016, based on thousands consumers’ nominations. 

2016 Best DVD ripper #1: Handbrake 

OS Platform: Windows & Mac & Linux 

 

Key features: Handbrake is our favorite video encoder for a reason: it’s simple, easy to use, easy to install, and offers a wealth of tweaking options to get the best possible file as a result. If you’re daunted by them, you don’t even have to use them—the app will compensate for you and pick some settings it thinks you’ll like based on your destination device. So many of you like Handbrake that many of you use it in conjunction with another app (like VLC, which makes ripping easy)—you’ll let another app do the rip and crack the DRM on your discs, and then process the file through Handbrake for encoding. 

Pros: The app is fast, can make the most of multi-core processors to speed up the process, and is completely open source. Best of all, it’s completely free. 

Cons: Only outputs MP4, MKV formats. Only can rip unencrypted DVD. Handbrake isn't updated often. Its presets are often out of date. 

Editor’s note: Since it is free, I think I will choose it first if I need a DVD Ripper. After all, MP4 is enough for nearly all devices and media players

2016 Best DVD ripper #2: Pavtube ByteCopy 

OS Platform: Windows & Mac 

 

Key features: Pavtube ByteCopy is your best DVD copying and backing up tool which can rip and backup DVD in any copy protection like Sony, Disney and region codes. It can convert DVD to any other formats like H.265, M3U8, MP4, MOV , M4V, AVI, WMV, MPG, MKV, etc or MP4/MOV with multi-track audios for playback on iOS/Android/Windows Tablets/Phones, HD Media Players (WDTV), editing software (Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, etc.), and more. 

And other than that, Pavtube ByteCopy is also able to encode DVDs to MKV container format with preserving chapter markers, multiple audio tracks and subtitles and make it possible for you to easily select your needed tracks, subtitles when watching DVD movies with your media players. creating 3D video is supported by ByteCopy. What’s more, it also can rip and copy Blu-ray. 

Pros: A top Multi-track Blu-ray/DVD Converter to all of you with excellent ability to pick up multi-track for playing BD/DVD movies on Media Players and portable device. It also can extract subtitle/audio from Blu-ray/DVD. 

Cons: It is a paid one. If you want to use its free trial version, you have to bear the watermark in the middle of the video. 

Editor’s note: If I need a more powerful DVD Ripper, Pavtube ByteCopy is no doubt the best choice. But if I only need to rip DVD to MP4 and my DVD has no encryption, I will definitely select Handbrake. 

2016 Best DVD ripper #3: MakeMKV 

OS Platform: Windows & Mac & Linux 

 

Key features: We’ve praised MakeMKV before for its ability to quickly and easily rip DVDs to high quality MKV files with a single click. The app has been in beta for a long time (years, in fact), which is just as well, since the developers promise to start charging for Blu-ray ripping once the app leaves beta. The app’s strong suits are that it’s fast, super easy, and cross-platform. 

Pros: The app preserves all of the source disc’s information, including tracks, chapters, HD audio, menus, and so on. The app is completely free. 

Cons: Only MKV output. 

Editor’s note: I found little software will keep multiple audio and subtitle tracks when ripping BD/DVD discs. But MakeMKV and Pavtube ByteCopy must be in the list. 

At the end of the day, DVD rippers are applications that set your movies from discs and allow you to have digital copies of the content that you’ve paid for. And please keep in mind, only personal usage of the DVD rips is legal.

Backup Downton Abbey Blu-Ray To NAS For Streaming On HD TV Via WD TV

Downton Abbey has the latest Season 6. Actually, even though I love it, I gave it up when I watched Season 4. It is a pain for an impatient person to wait for a long time to watch the new episodes. But after Downton Abbey released Blu-ray version, I bought it and I want to review it from Season 1 on my HD TV. I plan to rip all the Downton Abbey Blu-ray to NAS so that I can watch them on HD TV via WD TV. The Blu-ray is new and I worry that they will be destroyed by my little kids accidentally. 

 

I searched what format I should rip Blu-ray to. I know that WD TV can play virtually any file format including MKV, AVI, MP4, MPEG-4, MOV and more and my Samsung Smart TV H6400 should play MP4. So I decided to backup Downton Abbey Blu-ray to MP4 finally. Then I searched for “best Blu-ray Ripper” and find the Top Blu-ray Ripper review which introduced several top-ranked ripper in the market. 

I chose Pavtube ByteCopy because it claims that it supports to rip Blu-ray to MP4 with original video quality and offers 6X time ripping speed on Windows by H.264 codec. This is an big attraction for me, you know a housewife doesn’t have too much space time to do the job. Anyway, I used Pavtube ByteCopy to successfully rip my Downton Abbey Blu-ray to MP4. I transferred the backup to my Synology DS416 and tested the rips on my TV via WD TV. The image is almost as same as the playback effect when I insert Blu-ray disc. I decided at once to backup my collected Christmas DVD for my kids with it. (I forgot to say it supports DVD ripping, too.) 

I know there must be some people who like me that love to backup expensive Blu-ray to watch. For a office lady who doesn’t have the time to sit in the coach to enjoy the latest soap opera, getting the Blu-ray/DVD and spend a whole afternoon to watch it probably is enjoyment. So I shared my experience here and shared the Blu-ray ripping steps below. The steps are copied from the guide I read before. 

Steps to Rip Blu-ray to NAS for Streaming on HD TV via WD TV 

Step 1: Insert your Blu-ray disc into Blu-ray drive, Launch the program and click the “Disc” button to import the Blu-ray movies. Blu-ray folder and ISO files are also supported. You can select subtitles as you want. 

 

Step 2: Click Format and choose MP4 video from Common Video, which can be recognized by NAS/WDTV well. If your devices support MKV, lossless MKV is a good choice which can keep multiple subtitle/audio and all chapter markers. And then click the Browse button to specify an output folder to save the converted files. 

 

Tip: With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original Blu-ray while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on your network quality. Simply click Settings bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction and even save it as preset. 

Step 3: Finally, hit the “Convert” button at the bottom of the main interface to start the conversion. It will automatically convert Blu-ray to HD TV/WDTV compatible video files. 

You can find the ripped Downton Abbey in output folder. If you don’t have a NAS, I think a Seagate Wireless Plus or a WD MyCloud even a USB Drive is also OK to store the ripped movies.
