Rip DVD to digital format for NAS and stream to HTPC

Description: The below article will provide a easy way for you to convert your DVD and Blu-ray discs to digital format for storing on your NAS and playing on HTPC.

Q: If you have lots of DVD and Blu-ray discs in hand, what will you do?

A: I am a CEO of a Not For Profit organization that likes computer gaming and watching movies. I am looking to rip my DVD and Blu-ray Disc to digital format to store on my home NSA and play them on my HTPC.

The aims of conversion

That is one typical customer in my survey of "What's the aim of doing format conversion". According to my survey, I found many people convert their DVD and Blu-ray movies to digital format for two usages:

Storing on home NAS



NAS, with Network Attached Storage in full, is the extender for home sharing. NAS not only operates as a file server, but is specialized for this task either by its hardware, software, or configuration of those elements. NAS is often manufactured as a computer appliance – a specialized computer built from the ground up for storing and serving files – rather than simply a general purpose computer being used for the role.

Playing on HTPC



A home theater PC (HTPC) or media center computer is a convergence device that combines some or all the capabilities of the personal computer with a software application that supports video, photo, audio playback, and sometimes video recording functionality. With HTPC, you could avoid suffering the load and crowed cinema while having the same enjoyment of the fantastic visual effect.

How to complete the conversion

Free download and install the App: Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate (get 20% off for New Year Promotion)

It's an all-in-one app right for you. If you are a Mac user, you can use its equivalent Mac version: iMedia Converter for Mac to achieve your goal smoothly. Overall, it support to convert Blu-ray and DVD movies and all kinds of video to the support format like MP4, MKV, etc for you to either store on your home NAS or play on HTPC.

Below is the main interface after you loading your videos to the programe.



Step 1. Load the DVD/Blu-ray movies (Disc, folder, ISO) you want to convert to the program.

Step 2. Click the "Format" option, and choose Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4) as output format.



Step 3. Click the convert button under the preview window, and the video converter will start the conversion from Blu-ray/DVD movies to MP4 for storing on NAS and playing on HTPC.

After conversion, you can stream the output videos to NAS or HTPC according to your own needs.

Backup DVD to NAS for playback with XBMC on a Raspberry Pi on TV

Description In this guide, we will introduce how to rip your DVD movies to playable H.264 format for Raspberry Pi plugged in your TV with XBMC.

What's is Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer that plugs into your TV with a HDMI cable. It decodes 1080p H.264 HD video smoothly, and the XBMC user interface is quite responsive as long as you use a light weight skin.

You can also unlock MPEG-2 and VC-1 decoding by purchasing a license from the foundation's online store.

Raspberry Pi so tiny that many people choose to build a multimedia center at home with it and XBMC. Follow this guide to learn how to achieve it.



Part 1. Build a Multimedia Center with Raspberry Pi and XBMC

1. Firstly let's get a SD card and 3.0 USB stick to start the work.

For SD card, I should think of not all the cards are supported but my second try works – it's a Transcend 32GB SDHC Class 10 (TS32GSDHC10). And Even when the Pi has only USB 2.0, using a USB 3.0 stick with 2.0 sockets will give much better read times.

2. Next step, download and launch the Raspbmc installer, run XBMC.

The Raspbmc distribution is created and maintained by Sam Nazarko and you can download the latest version. I will use the Windows installer in this tutorial.

Before launching the application, plug-in the SD card reader and unplug any other USB storage devices to make sure you will not format an incorrect drive by accident.

Now, launch the Raspbmc installer application and select the SD card reader from the devices list. As mentioned earlier, it is recommended to use a USB stick as a storage partition on the Raspberry Pi, so tick the box on "Install Raspbmc to a USB drive". After clicking the "Install" button, it will take less than a minute while the installer downloads and restores the image to the SD card.

3. The last step, insert the SD card and USB stick to Raspberry Pi.

After plugging in the memory card, USB stick, USB keyboard or remote control, Ethernet cable and power adapter, the computer will boot up and the installer program will run for about 15-20 minutes. The Raspbmc will boot up the computer once the installer script is ready.

Congratulations, now you have Raspberry Pi XBMC ready to use!

Part 2. How to stream/play DVDs with XBMC on a Raspberry Pi on TV?

As is mentioned before, RasPi only support H.264 HD videos natively. So how can we watch DVDs on RasPi plugged in to TV at home?

Here I choose to convert my DVD collections (they have been made into ISO files) to H.264, stream it to NAS for playback. To accomplish this, I did a lot of researches online and finally choose this Pavtube DVD Ripper for its easy-to-use interface, various output presets and reliable video quality. Mac version is also available.

Get 30% OFF on this New year Specials page or download a free trial before purchase.

How to convert DVD movies to H.264 for playback via Raspi?

Step 1. Click the disc button to browse and import DVD disc from ROM, or load the ISO/IFO files that you want to convert for viewing on Raspberry Pi.



Step 2. Click the dropdown menu between "Format" and "Settings" to choose target video format. There are various presets sorted of device model and programs. For RasPi, we need to choose "HD Video>H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)" as below:



Step 3. adjust target file specs (optional)

If you are not satisfied with the default video specs, click "Settings" to change target video size, bitrate, frame rate and audio settings.

Step 4. Now hit the big red "Convert" to start converting rental DVD movies to H.264 with best settings for playback via Raspberry Pi on TV. After the conversion, you can get the converted DVD rips in *.mp4 format by clicking the "Open" or "Open output folder" icon.

Ok done, the H.264 MP4 files for RasPi are ready now!

Copy the H.264 MP4 files to NAS and follow this guide to learn how to set your TV, so that you can playback DVD movies on TV via Raspberry Pi.

Rip Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 with Handbrake or Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper

Description: A comparison the better way of ripping protected commercial Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 format with Handbrake or Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, so that you can playback Blu-ray on computer, smartphones, tablets or other devices.

Handbrake is a popular free software to help convert various video formats; many of us may have used it to backup DVD to H.264 for preserving or playback. In this article, we will test out the best solutions of ripping Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 using Handbrake or a top Blu-ray ripping tool like Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper.

How to use Handbrake to rip Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 Video?

Part 1. Handbrake workflow:

Step 1. Before starting the transcoding process with Handbrake, you need to use an unlocking software to break the Blu-ray's protection. In this case we chose [url= http://static.slysoft.com/SetupAnyDVD_50034.exe]AnyDVD[/url], but no Mac version available atm. Besides just running AnyDVD and decrypt the whole disc to the hard drive first. Here is a guide of how to run AnyDVD.

Step 2. Open up Handbrake. Make sure the High Profile is selected and then select Source -> Video File.



Step 3. Browse to the BDMV folder of your Blu-ray disc and inside the STREAM folder select the biggest m2ts file and click Open.



Step 4. With the movie loaded it is time to set the output file by clicking Browse. The MP4 container should be already selected. Now in the picture tab you can set the output size. In this example we are keeping the full resolution so we selected Strict anamorphic. Open the Video tab and move to the next step.



Step 5. The codec we will use is of course H.264. Now a few words about the settings here. In this example I will use constant quality (1) with a 20 value. Constant quality is a faster encoding method than the traditional 2-pass option and tries to keep a constant quality on all your files, regardless of the movie length or content. That however means that you cannot know how big the file will be as it depends on the movie length, the CQ setting and the actual content. Usual values range from 18 to 26, with 18 being the "best" and 26 the "worse" quality. I am using this option for my mkv backups as I prefer to base my encoding on video quality and not file size.
Of course, you can always select the 2-pass option by setting a Target Size and enable 2-Pass Encoding. The Turbo first pass option will help you save some time without a slight decrease on quality so if you want to encode faster, select it as well. I suggest you give at least 4GB to your file if you are using 1080p and at least 2GB for 720p. If you go over 4GB select Large file size next to the MP4 container option. Now click the Audio tab.



Step 6. Here you have to select the audio track you want to add in the MP4 file. Selecting AC3 Passthru will actually make an AC3 track off your DTS audio as DTS is not supported by the MP4 format. You can also downmix to stereo AAC using Dolby Pro Logic II.

Make sure you click Add track after selecting the right track and settings and that it appears in the list below. Then click Subtitles.



Step 7. Here you can add subtitle streams in your MP4 file. Unfortunately Handbrake does not support processing Blu-ray subs, so you keep to have them in SRT format. If you do, import them and then after setting the language and if you want them to appear by default, click add to add them to the list below.



Step 8. That's all. Just click the Start button at the top and a few hours later you will have a HD MP4 file.



It's somehow complex but acceptable as the best free solutions; now let's try with Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper to see how it works.

Step 1. Run Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper; load Blu-rays.

It dose not only support loading both Blu-ray and DVD disc, but also support Blu-ray folder, Blu-ray ISO, DVD folder and DVD IFO/ISO files.

It seems during the importing, the disc would be decrypted already.



Step 2. Choose H.264 MP4 format.

Click the "Format" drop-down list and choose HD Video>H.264 HD Video(*.mp4). Or we can enter "H.264 MP4" in the small search box to quick locate matched presets. We can also choose presets like iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android and Windows 8 RT/Pro phoneS/tabletS, etc. for particularly using.

Step 3. Adjust target video specs (Optional)

Click "Settings" as bellow to check the source/target video size, bitrate, frame rate and other settings in one go; you will be able to know the target video size with different bitrate settings immediately.

Step 4. Start converting Blu-ray to H.264 MP4.

Now hit the big red "convert" to start the conversion. Wait for moments, we can hit "Open" or "Open output folder" to quick locate the converted video.

Conclusion:
Handbrake is a good free software; but it seems to be not easy-of-use especially for people who are not tech-savvy; also no Mac solution available. While Pavtuve Blu-ray Ripper works beautifully with easy-to-use interface and all-in-one workflow; it' should be a great choice and well worth the payment.
