Putting DVD movies to DLNA compliant HDTV-Stream DVD Movies to Samsung PN51D550C1F HDTV
Streaming DVD movie to Samsung PN51D550C1F HDTV is not as easy as streaming MPG videos clips. In the first place, DVD movies are copy-protected, and you have to rip movies off. Besides, although DVD movies are MPEG-2 encoded videos, they are enveloped in .vob format, which is not a native streaming media format. So you have to .vob to .mpg, .avi or other streaming media format. More or less, you suffer some quality loss when decoding DVD videos. Is there any way to convert DVD to streaming media format without quality loss? The following guide shows you how to convert DVD to .mpg video while keeping original video, audio and subtitles so as to stream DVD movies to DLNA compliant Samsung PN51D550C1F HDTV from a networked PC or DLNA media server.
How to convert a DVD to TS for streaming to Samsung PN51D550C1F HDTV I. Convert DVD to MKV without quality loss
Required software- Pavtube ByteCopy (Click here to download a trial)
1. Load DVD to Pavtube ByteCopy.
2. Select the movie (G:\)
3. Set output mode
4. Select “Lossless” from the drop-down list of “Format”
5. Convert DVD to MKV with original video, audio and subtitles.
The above process helps you bypass the DVD copy-protections, extract video, audio, subtitles streams and chapter info from DVD, and package them to MKV container. If you don’t want some subtitles or audio tracks, e.g. French language, simply uncheck them from subtitles or audio languages.
3. Follow “Remux” and select “MPEG-PS (*.mpg)” format
4. Start remuxing MKV to MPG video with original video, audio and subtitles.
This process helps you remux MKV to MPG video. Remuxing is the process of demuxing a container format and muxing it back together in a different container without changing anything. Remuxing is not losing any quality as it only repackaging the audio and video streams. And it takes less time than encoding as well.
