Plex on ReadyNAS Pro
Hi Folks, I have a ReadyNAS Pro (Business Edition) and just fired up the plex media server on it. Everything worked fine, but anytime I try to view a 1080p file (.m2ts or h.264 mkv) it can't keep ...
If you are not concerned about size, don't use makemkv. It's possible to do a perfect non-transcoded rip of a movie from a DVD. File will usually be 4GB, but the picture is exactly the same as the DVD was. It will be MPEG2 so roku and PS3 are both fine with it. Here are the steps I use:
1. Run DVD Shrink and open the dvd.
2. Select Re-author.
3. Double click the main title on the DVD browser tab.
4. Select the compression tab and pick "No compression"
5. Choose the audio track, deselect others.
6. Select backup, choose an output folder, and hit OK.
7. Run VOB2mpg to convert to mpg and recalculate time codes.
8. Open the .IFO file in the Video_ts folder.
9. Ignore the error message about opening the DVD.
10. Set the output folder.
11. Hit the start extraction icon.
12. Find the .mpg output and rename it.
This is pretty quick since you are not transcoding.
