Backup Blu-ray with Plex Media Server for TV playing

This article offers a brief instruction about how to backup and rip Blu-ray to Plex Media Server for streaming, playing and sharing to TV.

We know that plex lets you aggregate all the personal media and access it anywhere. You can enjoy your own media on all your devices through a complex media server. If you like me to have 800-900 blue rays, want to convert them into some form, so you can divide them into complex parts and read it in this article. I will share the skills and techniques to copy your Blu-ray discs to complex media servers for playing and playing on TV.



Since Plex has maked it clear in its supported sources list and Blu-ray format is not listed. The possible solution is to use a Blu-ray ripping tool to rip Blu-ray to Plex/TV playable video format and stream it to TV for playback. Though there are many Blu-ray rippers for Plex, the best and most suitable among them is Dimo Video Converter Ultimate.

This Blu-ray Ripping program offers specified video formats for TV and many other game hardware like iPhone, iPad, Android, PSP, PS4 Pro/PS4/PS3, Xbox One S/Xbox One/Xbox 360, PS Vita, Wii and more bypassing the CSS, Region, RCE, Sony ARccOS and PuppetLock or some other Blu-ray protection. With it, you can easily convert, edit, view and save all your Blu-ray disc in a format that can be easily streamed and played from Plex with the highest possible playback video quality, even original AC3 5.1 sound can be kept for Plex pass-through. If you're using a Mac, please turn to Blu-ray Ripper for Mac from Dimo, which enables you to rip Blu-ray to Plex Media Server on Mac OS (Sierra included).

The process is straightforward. After downloading, follow the wizard to install and run the program. Then follow the steps below to rip Blu-ray to Plex supported file formats in a few clicks!

Tutorial: Ripping Blu-rays to Plex for Streaming to TV

Step 1: Insert your Blu-ray disc into your Blu-ray-ROM, run the Blu-ray Ripper and click "Add Blu-ray" icon to load movies. You can also import movies files from Blu-ray Video_ts folder, ISO. You can click on the dropdown list of “Audio track” to select your needed track so that you can view Blu-ray movies with proper audio channel.

Step 2: Click "Select Format" bar and choose MP4 from "Format > Video" or "Format > HD Video", which can be recognized by Plex well. MKV is also a good choice; as a container format it takes whatever you give it.

Note: The output format is preferably in a common format, like MP3 for audio, MPEG-4 for video. The more common format you use, the more devices you can stream to. For example, if you use FLAC instead of MP3 for your music, you can't stream to your Xbox. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media.

Step 3: 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. 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.

Step 4: Click the “Start” button under the preview window, and the Blu-ray ripper will start the conversion from Blu-ray movies to Plex Media Server. Once the conversion finished, get the ripped Blu-ray files onto Plex Media Server easily. Now you can stream Blu-ray movies through Plex to smart TV, Apple TV, Xbox, Roku, Google TV, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, PS4 Pro, computer/tablet/smartphone or other connected DLNA devices for great enjoyment both home and away. You can backup Blu-ray to NAS or cloud before streaming.

Why don't I just tell you which movies I have and you let me borrow your HD to back up my collection.

Also, I use Vudu. Can you still transfer Plex to Vudu?
