More and more people are aware that ripping Blu-ray to Plex give them easy access to their Blu-ray movies and convenient Blu-ray streaming on Apple TV 4, Roku, PS4, etc. In the ripping process, the choice of output format will determine your playback result. If you rip Blu-ray to lossless MKV, you can keep lossless quality of the whole Blu-ray while choosing to rip Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 brings you more wide streaming choices. So, which fotmat would you want to choose and how to rip Blu-ray to multi-track MKV or H.264 MP4 format?

""just installed the PLEX app on my ATV4! Very excited. I’m trying to convert all my blurays to digital files I can access easily. 
If I rip a bluray into an MKV will it stream full quality to PLEX if I set the stream settings to ’1080p Unlimited’? Full quality? Same as the physical disc? Or is PLEX still going to compress it somehow?

"I’m currently in the process of making plans to embrace Plex and moving all my video content to a media server. This task will require my ripping over 500 Blu-rays and I’m rather keen to do straight 1:1 MKV rips of my library to avoid any loss in quality (I’m quite aware what this will cost me in storage). Can someone recommend a easy-to-use ripper?"

Before we decide the format to rip Blu-ray for Plex, we should know what video format is better for Plex. From support.plex.tv/ site, content matching the following can usually be Direct Played:

  • MP4 container
    • Video Encoding: H.264, H.265 (HEVC), mpeg4, VC-1
    • Audio Encoding: AAC, AC3, EAC3, MP3
  • MKV container
    • Video Encoding: H.264, H.265 (HEVC), mpeg4, VC-1
    • Audio Encoding: AAC, AC3, ALAC, FLAC, MP3

it seems that both MP4 and MKV are OK for Plex. So just let’s start to learn how to rip Blu-ray to Plex in multi-track MKV and H.264 MP4.

Step 1: Get a Blu-ray Ripper to start ripping

At first, you should download a Blu-ray Ripper that can help you convert Blu-ray to both multi-track MKV and H.264 MP4. Here we recommend you Pavtube ByteCopy for the following reasons.

Step 3: Choose multi-track MKV and H.264 MP4 format

This is the most important part of the ripping process. Please think over what format you want and follow the path to choose it.

Option A – Rip Blu-ray to multi-track MKV for Plex

To choose multi-track with multiple subtitle and audio tracks, select Multi-track Video > Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV(*.MKV) for output. In this way the original audio tracks are streamed without transcoding from source BD Disc to saved MKV file. But this way will preserve original TrueHD/Dolby Digital/DTS/PCM audio and at present, Plex doesn’t support for 3rd-party applications to play DTS audio. Content with DTS audio will have the audio automatically transcoded by the Plex Media Server in order to preserve the surround sound audio channels. So you’d better to click "Settings" windows, in Audio column to uncheck DTS audio to keep only AAC or AC3 audio.

Review: Everything About ‘The Lego Movie”

play blu ray on western digital my book live Move The Lego Movie(2014) Blu ray onto My Book Live for roku streaming with Mac OS X

It would have been so much easier, and so much safer, for directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to just make the kind of Lego Movie that you probably expected from the marketing. They could have crafted a simple hero’s journey, crammed with celebrity cameos and postmodern humor, and called it a day while watching the money roll in and the toy sales shoot through the roof.

And there are all of these elements in this particular Lego Movie, but there is also something more. The film goes in some wonderfully unexpected directions and takes real storytelling risks. I cannot say how everyone will respond to its narrative left turns and unexpected poignancy, but they elevate to the film far above a glorified toy commercial. The Lego Movie may in fact be brilliant. Expected release date for The Lego Movie DVD and Blu-ray discs is May-June, 2014.

wdtv live hub Streaming .mkv files from Windows 8.1 PC to WD TV Live Hub via DLNA

Hi I have a similar problem. I have been able to play a mkv file yesterday and today I can not play a second film which is also mkv. Then it begins to load and freezes there. Should I download a program and convert all my mkv files now so I can play them with my wd live television box? I do not hope this is the solution to my problem…

In fact, playing MKV file from local HDD on Windows 8.1 PC is never a problem for WD TV Live Hub. The problem is MKV streaming over the Internet. Basically, with DLNA media devices, there are certificates given to each product that receives DLNA approval. The problem is that .mkv is not one of the media options that are categorized because it’s not a sanctioned format (not like WMV, MPEG, etc.) Besides, MKV is a flexible container format which can store just about anything (H.264, DivX, MPEG, any sort of audio, even menus and subtitles) while WMV, MPEG is more or less complete formats so they know what to expect while with MKV’s you really can’t tell without checking the contents itself.

Although most people meet with very limited success streaming .mkv files from NAS to a DLNA-certified HDTV, it is reported that many have good luck when streaming H.264 .mkv with AC3 audio. DTS audio in .mkv may results in av sync problems so it is advised to be converted to AC3 or AAC before streaming MKV.

Anyway, the best way solving this problem is streaming .mkv from Windows 8.1 PC while transcoding the file on the fly with media server like Tversity. Despite that, you may receive error message when streaming .mkv to WD TV Live Hub. In that case you’re suggested to convert .mkv to DLNA sanctioned format, e.g. H.264 .mp4. The following guide tells you how to convert .mkv to H.264 .mp4 video with AAC audio included for streaming to WD TV Live Hub.
