These mpeg4 files can than be stored on the HDD of a device of your liking and played with any media player. Handbrake can, among other thing, read DVD’s and convert the content to e.g mpeg4 files. Most DVD’s are protected with DRM and some publishers like Disney take severe measurements to prevent the user from making a copy for their own use. For a few dollars/euros you can buy the best movies on DVD. DVD’s are cheap and second hand DVD’s are even cheaper. Use original DVD’sĭon’t use pirated DVD’s.

In this post I’ll explain what you need to remove the DRM from DVD’s and copy the movie or TV series to OpenELEC or LibreELEC or any other system with Kodi e.g in your living room. Without the DRM the user can watch the content the way he/she prefers. Luckily this DRM can be removed with relatively simple means. DVD’s are an option but most of current DVD’s have strong DRM in place. Unfortunately the’re very little legal alternatives that respect the user rights. If you don’t believe me you can read it in the privacy statement of Netflix. This data is not only used to improve the service it can also be provided to third parties like law enforcement and other businesses for promotional ‘services’. Not only does Netflix use digital rights management (DRM) they also mine huge amounts of data from the users. What most people don’t know is that Netflix is trampling user rights.

Those aren’t use for Plex, but for burning to writable DVD for DVD devices… which if course isn’t as interesting as it once was.Why in this day and age of Netflix one would be interested in how to rip a DVD? More and more people are using Netflix or an other video streaming service to watch movies and TV series.

Occasionally I’ll have full encrypted saves of DVDs (in cases where there was a bad “pressing” of the DVD). My transcodes are mostly done using Handbrake (all done with Linux… any testing I do with Windows comes off that large 16 core monster with Windows running as a VM under KVM. My DVD rips are either to single file mpeg2 (essentially a decrypted exact representation of the main DVD content) or direct transcodes to mp4. Occasionally I receive devices for testing … I have a CuBox, and some more popular items as well. I use Plex from Roku, desktop and Android app. I am a PlexPass lifetime member (back when it was cheap, sorry folks!). Roku is our primary frontend, they have all been upgraded to Roku 3, but I do keep an old WiFI only XD around for testing. The master workstation/server is only up when I need to do work.

I also do my Tablo pulls there and push those to the Q190 as well. It’s only on when I need to rip new media to the Plex. My master workstation/server (true 16 cores with 32G) houses over 8TB of RAID protected storage which is where I do the transcode/rips and then that pushes to the Q190. That’s my base 24x7 PMS, plus we added 3 x 1TB drives via USB.

I will probably upgrade the PLEX machine to something more capable and convert the USB drives to internal linux formatted drives (not sure if I want to use zfs (and the added bother/expense) or just keep them ext and do manual backups)Ĭeleron Ivy Bridge (more than capable of transcoding)

I set up our PLEX server on an old P4 (yes its underpowered for a PLEX system) Gateway computer I got at a computer show for $50 … I have a 2TB usb drive (NTFS formatted) and a 1TB USB (NTFS) on it … The computer runs a Linux NAS distribution called OMV (OpenMediaVault – based off of DEBIAN LINUX – I had to use omv as it was the only NAS linux distro that actually worked on my old system) … Once I built the OMV NAS I then manually installed PLEX on top of that (Now PLEX is a plugin for OMV so its easier to install) … I wanted an easy way to copy new content to the PLEX server without having to unplug the USB drives … so building it on top of a pre-rolled linux NAS foundation made the most sense … (the PLEX machine also does double duty as my home NAS and personal Cloud server too via Barracuda Drive on a Raspberry Pi and OMV)… The content for my PLEX server was done over the course of 2 1/2 - 3 years of ripping my very large DVD/BR collection with Slysoft AnyDVD (when I use windows) (then MDRP when i moved to Mac/OSX) …Like jbanks25 I then encoded the rips to an AppleTV2 format … I also took the painstaking time to also make sure all the mp4 movie files had proper tags internally with either Subler or MetaZ/MetaX for meta data tags – iTunes requires mp4 movies to have tags if you want it to show up correctly on the AppleTV - which we used for a while before moving to Plex/Roku) (Plex on the other hand does more of a filename match so now I make sure I use FileBot to keep all the names clean and standardized).
