This DVD Ripping program offers specified video formats for TV and many other game hardware like iPhone, iPad,Android, PSP, PS4 Pro/PS4/PS3, Xbox One S/Xbox One/Xbox 360, PS Vita, Wii and more bypassing the CSS, Region, RCE, Sony ARccOS and PuppetLock or some other DVD protection.

Tutorial: Ripping DVDs to Plex for Streaming to TVStep 1: Insert your DVD disc into your DVD-ROM, run the DVD Ripper and click "Add DVD" icon to load movies. You can also import movies files from DVD Video_ts folder, ISO. You can click on the dropdown list of “Audio track” to select your needed track so that you can view DVD movies with proper audio channel.
Step 2: Click "Select Format" bar and choose MP4 from "Format > Video" or "Format > HD Video", which can be recognized by Plex well. MKV is also a good choice; as a container format it takes whatever you give it.Note: The output format is preferably in a common format, like MP3 for audio, MPEG-4 for video. The more common format you use, the more devices you can stream to. For example, if you use FLAC instead of MP3 for your music, you can't stream to your Xbox. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media.Step 3: 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. 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. Step 4: Click the “Start” button under the preview window, and the DVD ripper will start the conversion from DVD movies to Plex Media Server.

Full HTC Vive 3D Movie HOWTO GuidePreparation:1. Best HTC Vive Video Converter- Watch 3D videos on HTC ViveWatching VR video on HTC Vive is a good taster of Virtual Reality within budget. Can any 3D video be viewed on HTC Vive? No. But with HTC Vive Video Converter -Dimo Video Converter Ultimate, you can watch any 3D movies on HTC Vive without error.With it, you are able convert unsupported 3D movies including 3D Blu-ray to SBS 3D MP4 files for playback on your HTC Vive in just few clicks.

2. Buy/Download a 3D movie that is in these formats:.mp4 .m4v .3gp .3g2 .ts .webm .mkv .wmv .asf .avi .flv. In my opinion, .mp4 is best, while audio is aac.3. A VR player appa. Whirligig To watch a video, click the Browse button in the top left-hand corner of the menu. You'll be able to browse your hard drive to choose a video file. (Whirligig also claims to support YouTube links in its Settings, but I couldn't get that to work at the time of this writing.)
As the video starts to play, you'll probably want to adjust some settings using Whirligig's heads-up controls. Here's what we recommend for each type of video:
- Regular 2D video: Set Projector to Cinema or Cinema Curved.
- 3D video: 3D video comes in a few different forms, so check the video you downloaded–or the settings you used when you ripped it–to see whether it's Half Side-By-Side, Full Side-By-Side, Half Over-Under, or Full Over-Under. Set the Projector to either Cinema or Cinema Curved, then select SBS or OU instead of Mono. If the video is Half SBS, set Stretch to "100" so it displays in the proper aspect ratio.
- 180 or 360 degree video: The video will usually tell you whether it's 180 degrees or 360 degrees on the site you download it from. If it's 180 degrees, set Projector to "Fisheye" and set FOV to 180. If it's 360, set Projector to "Barrel" and FOV to 360. You may also have to tweak "Tilt" for 180 videos or "Rotation" for 360 videos so that the video is facing the right direction.
- Full VR video: Combine the correct settings from "3D video" and "180 or 360 degree video" sections of this list. You can also adjust the Scale and Distance settings to fit your tastes, or click the Settings cog in the lower right-hand corner for even more options. Whirligig also has some other cool features like saving different presets, but these basics should get you up and running pretty quickly. For now, sit back and enjoy the movie!
b. Virtual DesktopWhirligig isn't the only way to watch videos on your VR headset, but it was the best cost-to-performance ratio in our tests. If you're willing to pay a little more, Virtual Desktop ($15) is also pretty good, and can do a lot more than play videos–it is, as the name implies, a full version of your PC's desktop in virtual reality. Just play a video in your favorite desktop player (like VLC), set it to full-screen, and go. Download and Install Virtual DesktopFirst, download and install the Virtual Desktop from Steam. The cost is $14.99, but well worth it. If your target price is, well, free, then you can download the free GoPro VR player from Kolor. However, you need to start and stop the videos on your desktop monitor and is not entirely VR integrated.Setup Virtual DesktopThe first thing to do is determine how BIG you want your desktop. The app lets you fully customize the size of the desktop. You can even specify with a simple slider control all the way up to 360 degrees which wrap the entire desktop around you. Although neat, 360 degrees is not too practical. Personally, I like 180 degrees with a screen distance around 3 meters.Playing 360/SBS VideosNow you have the virtual desktop installed and setup, playing 360 videos is easy! Just click the 360 Videos option (top right), then browse to your video. Depending on the video format, you will need to change the Video mode. If you see the image duplicated on the left and the right, then select Side By Side (SBS). If you're unsure which format you need, then just click the option until the video looks good. Very few videos these days are 180 degrees, most are 360 degrees in the video projection option.Steps to convert unsupported 3D videos to play on HTC ViveStep 1. Load your 3D movies Launch the video converter for HTC Vive, and click "Add file" button to import your source 3D materials. Or insert the Blu-ray disc to the Blu-ray Disc drive and click the "Add Blu-ray" button to have movies uploaded to the Blu-ray Ripper. 
Step 2. Select output format Click "Format" and select "MP4" from "Format > Video" category as the output format. It works on HTC Vive perfectly. Tip: Click Settings to adjust the parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel. 1920x1080 compressed side-by-side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side-by-side resolution. And keep audio in AAC or MP3. Step 3. Select 3D mode Once you have gained proper information about video types then it is time to set a mode as per your video type so that it can work perfectly on your VR headset. The selection can be done as below:To get a SBS (Side-by-side) video, click "Edit", turn to "3D" and choose "Left/Right" mode. Finally hit OK button.
Step 4. Start conversion Click the "Start" button to start and finish the 3D video to HTC Vive conversion. After the conversion, click "Open" button to quickly locate the generated media file. Now you can transfer the converted 3D videos to play with HTC Vive using the above methods easily. Free Download or Purchase Dimo Video Converter Ultimate:
