I read tests and tons of reviews give this program as No. 1 Blu-Ripper 2013. Well I mostly use it to transcode blu-ray to mkv because it supports good sound options and most devices support the format. As for the device I use is plex media server (PMS) and basicly any device (like my wiiu, htc onex, samsung gs2, 2 computers, xbox 360) that supports DLNA can play converted mkv video from the pms.



Below is a simple guide about how to convert/[/font] backup your Blu-rays to Plex Media Server.

First of all, you need to download and install the Best Blu-ray Ripper for Plex Media Server. There is a Mac version for you if you use Mac OS X computer. Then, just follow the steps to operate it.

Step 1: Insert your Blu-ray disc into your BD drive, run the Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper for Mac and click "BD/DVD disc" icon to load movie from DVD and Blu-ray source(Disc, folder, ISO). You can also click "Add Video" to load video files like MTS/M2TS, MKV, VOB, MOV, TOD, TiVo, etc.



Step 2: Click the "Format" option, and choose Common Video > MKV(Matroska) Video (*.mkv) as output format. You can also select H.264 Video (*.mp4) for Plex Media Server.



Tip:

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 Blu-ray ripper will start the conversion from Blu-ray DVD movies to MKV for Plex Media Server on Mac.

After conversion, you can stream Blu-ray/DVD movies through Plex Media Server to HDTV or ipod touch, Samsung Galaxy s2, HTC one X+, or other DLNA-compliant devices.



Now watching blu-ray movies on portable devices becomes easy and I can really lie back, relax and enjoy my favorite blu-ray movies.

However, when dragging your NX1 H.265 video files to QuickTime for playback, you'll be informed H.265 is not in a format that QuickTime player understands.

How to Enable HD Videos/Movies to playback on Windows 8.1(Pro)?

Step 1. Load HD Video files.

Fistly download it. After downloading, install and run the best HD Video Converter Ultimate on your PC, And click “Add Video” button to load your MKV, MOV, MTS, M2TS, VOB, AVI, AVCHD, Tivo...video files.



Step 2. Select compatible video format.

Click “Format”, find “Commen Video” -> H.264 Video (*.mp4)” as Windows 8.1(Pro) most compatible format.



Tips:

As your Windows devices, you you need to set a format for 1080p/720p HD video to Windows 8.1/8 tablets/phones conversion. Click “Format”, find “Windows” -> Microsoft Surface Windows RT/Pro H.264 Video (*.mp4)”.



If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. According to my experience, 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. Start Converting.

When the above mentioned steps finished you can click the big red "Convert" to start converting MKV, AVI, VOB, MPG, Tivo, WMV, MTS, M4V, FLV/F4V to Windows 8.1(Pro) at fast speed.
