DVD Ripping Software-2D 3D Movie Tips




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 NAS, Personal 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 Its presets are often out of date.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.

Convert ISO to MKV for Plex Server with full audio & subtitle tracks

“Hey guys, I have around 50 .iso files on my server, which unfortunately Plex does not support. So I want to convert all of them to MKV files but don’t want to lose any V/A quality as well as the subtitles, switchable audio tracks. Any help with a step by step guide?” 

 

For HD movie fans, a powerful media center is so important for that it should be able to link your computer, media server and all kinds of home video playback devices seamlessly. Plex Media Server is such a complete solution for streaming media from your computer to your TV or various mobile devices in your home. This app not only work with multiple platforms like Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux but also have a full compatibility with most main stream product lines in home media filed like Roku, Samsung, Vizio, LG, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. It plays media from a variety of different sources. 

For users who just want a 1:1 conversion of each ISO to watch on Plex and don’t care much about the storage, lossless MKV is definitely the best choice. However, Plex does not support the use of ISO, IMG, Video_TS, BDMV, or other “disk image” formats in consideration for pirating issues and local laws. So how to bypass the main obstacle to ripping the ISO files with the copy protection that now sits on every disk? 

What you need is a software app that could read ISO well, then kick the copy protection to one side and remux into MKV without quality loss to play on Plex server. Here is how come Pavtube ByteCopy, an efficient ISO Converter on both Windows and Mac OS, which is specially designed for users who want to rip BD/DVD ISO images files with multiple audio tracks and subtitles.

Click “Load disc” icon, choose “Load IFO/ISO” and search for the path where you save the ISO files. Note Pavtube can read ISO directly so no need to run virtual disk drive to mount. 

 

Step 2. Choose lossless MKV as target format 

Click the format bar to follow “Multi-track Video” and “Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV (*.mkv)” because it will contain chapter markers in the output video. 

 

Step 3. Adjust V/A settings 

Click “Settings” to enter Multi-track video profile window; switch to “Video” and find the “Encode” box which is unchecked by default, so if you want a lossless MKV copy, do not touch it. 

 

Step 4. Start backing up Blu-ray/DVD ISO to MKV 

Click the big “Convert” to start ISO to MKV conversion. The conversion speed also depends on your computer configuration. Since the movies are remixed to MKV directly without transcoding, the conversion should complete in a short time. After conversion, click “Open” or “Open output folder” to quick locate converted files.

How to convert Blu-ray/DVD for playback on the Roku 3 through USB stick

According February 8 Sohu digital news, if you plan to buy a streaming media player, then you can choose any one of the three products in the following: Chromecast, Roku and Apple TV. They are not the only commercially available streaming media players, but it is the most popular - mainly because of the price that several devices are under $ 100 , along with a very high value for money . 
If I can only recommend a streaming media box, then I would choose Roku 3. For the following reasons: 

 

The Good: 

The Roku 3's excellent interface and speedy processor makes it feel quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. More than 1,000 channels are supported, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, Vudu and (finally) Youtube. It also has cross-platform search that scours several major TV and movie services to find content. And Roku's nifty remote has a built-in headphone jack that lets you listen without disturbing others. 

The Bad: 

The Apple TV still works better within the Apple ecosystem. And the Roku 3 isn't the best option if you're mostly looking to stream your personal digital media collection. 

The Bottom Line: 

The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack. 

Tips: If you want to know more about streaming media player like Chromecast, Roku and Apple TV, click here. 

As a mighty streaming video machine, you don't have to rely on the Internet to play videos on your Roku 3 —you can do it from a USB drive. The Roku 3's USB port opens up the option of playing video files from any USB drive, whether that's a USB stick or a full portable hard drive. 

Before we know about how to play a video on your Roku 3 from a USB drive, let us use the converter to rip the Blu-ray/DVD to enrich our USB stick. 

USB stick as a storage container, small and convenient, is our preferred mobile storage devices. But when we want to play our Blu-ray/DVD collection, the device showed significant deficiencies. Mainly because we have no way to backup Blu-ray/DVD information to the USB stick. To solve this problem, we need a powerful software, which must be able to backup and convert Blu-ray/DVD discs on our computers, then we can copy the video files to our USB stick, with the help of roku 3, and enjoy our favorite Blu-ray/DVD movies anytime, anywhere. 

Here recommend the Pavtube BDMagic, which is one of the best BD/DVD disc handling tools on the market. It not only can convert 3D Blu-ray discs, 2D Blu-ray discs, and standard DVDs to your computer with desired HD and SD media formats including MPEG-4/H.264 MP4, MPEG, RM, QuickTime MOV, MPG, Xvid, Divx, 3GP, FLV, VOB, ASF, SWF, DV, MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, etc, but also can is capable of 1:1 copying BD/DVD Disc content to local computer or external hard drive in original file structure with all subtitle tracks and audio streams preserved.

Step 2: Click the "Format" option, and choose the format. 
 

Tips: 

1. The Roku 3 can play MKV, MP4 and MOV files. So you can choose HD Video > MKV HD Video(*.mkv) as output format. You can also select H.264 HD Video (*.mp4). 

2. If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa. 

Step 3: Click the convert button under the preview window, and the BDMagic will start the conversion from Blu-ray DVD movies to MKV on Windows/Mac. 

After conversion, you can stream Blu-ray/DVD movies to your USB stick. And you also can stream Blu-ray/DVD movies through Roku 3 to HDTV or Samsung Galaxy Tab, or other DLNA-compliant devices.

Let’s Stream iTunes Rental and Purchased Videos via Roku 3 easily

Roku manufactures a variety of digital media receivers that allow customers to access internet streamed video or audio services through televisions. I can stream NetFlix and download movies from Amazon with my new bought Roku 3. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Roku will play movies I have purchased in iTunes. If it’s possible to stream movies i have stored on my computer (which i have loaded into the iTunes Library) to my Roku Box? 

 

When it comes to iTunes contents, Apple TV is dominant over other popular streaming boxes, like Roku 3 and Chromecast, or Nexus Player, which just works in Apple ecosystem to let you stream iTunes videos from other iDevices. Since iTunes movie are DRM embedded files, if you want to import your iTunes purchases and rentals on Roku 3 directly, that’s no way. Don’t worry, take a few seconds to see What format can play on RoKu 3.


A USB port enables local media playback (supported formats include: MP4 (H.264) & MKV (H.264) video / AAC & MP3 audio / JPG & PNG image) on Roku 3. iTunes movies format is M4A or MOV, music format is M4A, so for playing iTunes on RoKu 3, we have to strip DRM from the iTunes first, and convert iTunes m4v media files to Roku 3 friendly video format through USB. 

To do this, just get a top DRM remover- and accomplish your task in a few mouse clicks!Pavtube ChewTune, well compatible with Windows (Windows 8.1/8), is an intuitive and stable DRM converter to help you bypass DRM of iTunes both purchased and rented movies and then convert these M4V videos to MP4 that supported by Roku 3 for streaming and enjoying anywhere you like.

1. The DRM removing process may mislead your anti-virus software to falsely report virus/worm. Please ignore the report to keep on ripping. 

2. This product cannot convert unplayable video (damaged, unauthorized, etc). 

3. Allow the audio driver installed during the Pavtube ChewTune installation. 

 
4. Close iTunes before running the Pavtube DRM Removal Converter when converting iTunes M4V movies. 

5. It would take as long as the source movie length for the whole iTunes contents to Roku 3 conversion process since Pavtube ChewTune records source DRM files in 1:1 video and audio quality.

Step 1. Add iTunes movies to the iTunes DRM Converter 

Install and run Pavtube iTunes to Roku 3 Converter, and then click “Add Video” button or “Add from folder” icon, your purchased or rented movies would be listed in the popup window. Select the files and then click “OK”.

How do i fix Streaming Media to Roku issues?

The entertainment options are truly endless on your Roku, this is a small hockey puck electronic streaming player that brings the world of internet television to your TV. By using your broadband connection, it will stream movies and TV shows from the internet and let you watch them on your television on the cheap way. However,there are still problems when you are using this smart streaming box, aren’t there? Don’t worry! Here are five tips to keep you streaming like you’ve never streamed before! 

 

Issue One: Not enough local file formats are supported 

If you’re running into trouble using AVI files or other files and the Roku doesn’t work. Are you confused? I think this is a major problem when you are beaming your mobile’s files to Roku because the compatible formats with Roku are rare. They are MKV, MP4, MOV, WMV. What if your files are just not in this range, such as 3GP files? Under such circumstances, you will need third-party tool to help. This is what All cast is for. See how you can stream any format to Roku here. 

Issue Two: Video buffers or low quality 

This may be the biggest problem when streaming onlinevideos and also your local files, which has a lot to do with your internetconnection. It’s recommended that the speed for each computer or device shouldbe 3 Mbps. So now you will need to test your internet speed fromhere. If the network is slow, there arestill some basic things you can do instead of changing your bandwidth. Thesemeasures include: 

1.Move closer to the wireless router 
2.Replace your Roku player 
3.Move away from interference like the cordless phones or others 
4.You are suggested to use a wired network if possible 

Issue Three: Roku Freezes and Other Channel Issues 

There are many reasons why channels don’t always work 100% on Roku. One common misconception is that Roku owns and builds their own channels. So when a channel goes down people often want to blame Roku. Roku does not develop any channels; they simply build and sell the hardware. Channels are all hosted on 3rd?party web servers on the internet and are built by many different developers. Channels can have issues completely unrelated to the Roku player. Just as you can’t blame your PC manufacturer when your internet connection goes down, the same is true for Roku when a channel does not work as it should. 

Lower Your BitRate for Picture Quality: 

When using a streaming service like Netflix and you are experiencing lock ups and stuttering, you can try lowering your bit rate which reduces your picture quality. They use dots to show picture quality. 4 dots equal (2.2Mbps) down to 1 dot for a speed of (0.5 Mbps). 

NOTE: If Roku freezes when you are streaming a poorly developed channel, you will need to move to another platform or find an alternative solution. Sometimes your Roku will freeze because you are playing certain files such as MKV. To tackle this, you can try converting the files to other formats like AVI with Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. 

 

Issue Four: Roku Purple Screen 

If your Roku turns purple, try reseating the HDMI cable. Some TVs firmware handles the HDMI hand off differently and can cause issues. Also, try disconnecting the power cable from your TV and Roku if the HDMI cable swap dosen’t work. Finally you can also try swapping to a component and audio cable as this fixes the problem for many people as well. Finally if this does not work power down your Roku and your Television. Sometimes having your HDMI cable go directly to the TV or through a HDMI switch will work better than going through a receiver’s HDMI switching ports. 

Tips:If you have problems on playing Blu-ray/DVD, Youtube Videos, ISO files to Roku,you can get the all solutions. 

Hope this guide can help you get out of the all of issues you have met when playing Roku and enjoy your life.
