How to Backup, Rip DVD to MKV/MP4 for NAS streaming

Step 1. Insert your DVD disc into your DVD drive, run the best DVD to NAS Converter and click "File" icon to load movie from DVD source(Disc, folder, ISO). Set your wanted subtitles and audio track from the drop-down box of "Subtitles" and "Audio" tab.

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



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.

If your computer have Nvidia CUDA/ATI AMD ready graphics card, you can have GPU encoding and the conversion would be faster.

Step 3: Click the convert button under the preview window, and the Blu-ray ripper will start the conversion from DVD movies to MKV/MP4 for NAS and media player.

After conversion, you can stream DVD movies through NAS to HDTV with PS3 or popcorn hour or other DLNA-compliant devices.
