Get Gone Girl Blu-ray to store in Plex for playback on Apple TV

I am beyond excited to talk about not only an incredible David Fincher film but also one of my favorite films of 2014… Gone Girl! Now I got the Blu-ray of this movie and I´m looking for an easy solution for my parents to stream this Blu-ray to their Apple TVs for watching. The point here is, if Plex can support 1080p blu ray rips around 8GB~10GB with DTS/Dolby Digital streaming smoothly, shall we need to rip my Blu-ray for Plex Media Server? 

 

Well, in this article, I will share the easiest and quickest way to backup Gone Girl Blu-ray into Plex media server for streaming and sharing on Apple TV. 

To get Blu-rays on Plex for ATV playback, you’ll need a Blu-ray drive installed in your computer and a third-party Blu-ray ripping software. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def Blu-rays, but while the latest version of the software has added SOME support for reading Blu-Ray folder structures, it cannot yet deal with the protected Blu-Ray discs (See How to rip Blu-ray using Handbrake) the way it can with regular Blu-rays, so you’ll need to add an intermediate step. 

Here Pavtube BDMagic is the bee’s knees(Read reviews), which aims to solve this problem by giving us the ability to store our purchased physical Blu-ray discs or downloaded media to local computer, hard drive then stream over a home network for Plex Media Server and Apple TV playback. It’s professional in ripping and converting Blu-ray/Blu-ray discs, Blu-ray/Blu-ray ISO image, Blu-ray/Blu-ray copies and more. It will help you backup your Blu-ray disk and save the time looking for them from the cardboard with ease. If you are working on Mac OS X, please get the Mac version. 

  

After downloding, follow the wizard to install and run the program. Then follow the steps below to convert Blu-ray to Plex/Apple TV comaptible formats in a few clicks!Ripping, converting Blu-ray to Plex Media Server for streaming to Apple TV 

Step 1: Add the Gone Girl Blu-ray movie 

Insert your Blu-ray disc to the drive, then launch the Blu-ray to Plex/ATV Ripper and click the “Load Blu-ray” button to load Gone Girl Blu-ray. ISO files are also supported. After the Blu-ray movie is loaded, you can preview it on the right viewing window and adjust volume or take snapshots freely. 

 

Tips: You can click on the dropdown list of “Subtitles” to select your needed subtitles so that you can view Blu-ray movies with proper subtitles. 

Step 2: Decide output format 

Click the “Format” -> “Apple TV” option, and choose corresponding formats recognized by Apple TV as output format which can also be stored on Plex Media Server. 

 

Note: 

1. If you want to stream your Blu-ray to play everywhere via Plex, the output format is preferably in a common format or HD format, like MP3 for audio, MP4 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 One/360. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media. 

2. With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original Blu-ray while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on you r network quality. Simply click “Settings” bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction and even save it as preset. 

 

Step 3: Convert Blu-ray to Plex Media Server 

Click the “Convert” button under the preview window, and the Blu-ray ripper will start the conversion from Blu-ray movies to Plex Media Server. 

Once the conversion finished, get the ripped Blu-ray files onto Plex Media Server easily. Now you can stream Gone Girl Blu-ray movie through Plex to connected Apple TV for great enjoyment. 

Below is a tutorial for setting up PlexConnect on local network to stream videos to Apple TV without jailbreak.

Rip DTS-HD track to FLAC 5.1 audio using Plex

Q: “Has anyone else been ripping 5.1 DTS-HD audio from Blurays using the FLAC option in MakeMKV? As DTS-HD seems to be completely useless if you own a Mac, I thought I would try to rip lossless audio from a Blu-ray using the FLAC option in MakeMKV. My Mac is connected to the AV receiver via an optical cable and when playing the file back via Plex it did produce multichannel sound but my AV receiver seemed to think it was decoding Dolby Digital (?) Thanks.”

Part I: How to Freely Converting Blu-ray HD audio to FLAC 5.1 audio 

As I mentioned in my first look at ripping Blu-rays, converting uncompressed PCM and lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to FLAC with 5.1 audio for use in Plex carries a number of benefits. 

• It's also lossless, so no quality difference.
• FLAC is an open, well-documented format and so you're not reliant on reverse-engineered implementations.
• XBMC can decode FLAC to PCM and output it over HDMI, whereas it currently can't for DTS-HD.
• Hard drive space savings can be significant, especially for PCM soundtracks.

There's little penalty in terms of the time taken to rip the disc either, as it's unlikely that your BD drive can copy data from the disc fast enough for the conversion process to become a bottleneck.What you need: This process still usesMakeMKV, with the feature enabled in by checking the advanced options box in the settings. TrueHD decoding is built in, but you'll need to find a separate DTS module and point MakeMKV to that. All you then need to do it choose the ‘FLAC’ preset when ripping a disc. Otherwise the process is identical. 

Part II: Use Top Blu-ray Audio to FLAC Ripper for Plex to Convert a pure audio Blu-ray Audio to FLAC audio files with 5.1 audio on Mac 

To extract Blu-ray discs to Plex accepted FLAC audio files on Mac, you could usePavtube ByteCopy for Mac which is an effective Mac Blu-ray Audio Converter that could Convert Blu-ray music to lossless FLAC 5.1 audio format. Still delivering an ultra-high quality listening experience on Mac. Read the review. 

  
Hot News for all Mac users! Pavtube Studio has launched a user-requested upgrade for all its Mac BD/DVD and package tools: DVDAid for Mac, BDMagic for Mac, ByteCopy for Mac, iMedia Converter for Mac to version 4.8.5.1, which focuses on the addition of the H.265 encoders and decoders.

But hitting “Settings”, the offered sample rate is limited to 22050hz, 32000hz, 44100hz and 48000hz.
