I know there is a particular file name format that plex requires but i just can seem to find the right one.
You can use pretty much any filename you want, though Plex might not be able to tag it properly. Plex recommends MovieName (release year).ext - for instance Batman Begins (2005).mp4 Of course it needs to be in a folder that is part of the Plex Library.
If you use the web interface and select the library, there is a "browse by folder option" which might help locate the file. The screenshot below should help you find that option.

What tool did you use to convert the DVD to MP4?
You could try installing MediaInfoXP from here: http://muldersoft.com/#mixp and use that to analyze the mp4. If you aren't sure what it is telling you, you can copy the results to a post here - leaving the filename out if you wish.
This particular packaging of MediaInfo has no adware, so it's a good one to use.
