How to rip a DVD for streaming via Plex
Step 1. Insert your DVD disc to the drive, then launch the DVD ripping software and click the "Load Disc" button to have the DVD content imported. You can also add VIDEO_TS folder, DVD ISO files are the source files for converting.
Step 2. Click Profile and choose MP4 video from Common Video, which can be recognized by Plex well. MKV is also a good choice; as a container format it takes whatever you give it.
Tip: With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original DVD while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on your network quality. Simply click Settings bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction and even save it as preset.
Step 3. Hit the "Convert" button at the bottom of the main interface to start the DVD to Plex Media Server conversion. Once the conversion is done, click "Open" to quickly find the converted movies. Then, Plex will recognize, catalog, play and stream them just fine.
