High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, or H.265) is the latest video compression standard developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG).  HEVC is able to compress video up to twice as efficiently as AVC, letting you encode a video in a file that is about half the size of AVC at the same quality level. In Samsung latest models, many Samsung Smart TVs support HEVC decoding and nearly all 4K/UHD Samsung TVs support HEVC decoding. That’s to say, many Samsung Smart TVs don’t support H.265/HEVC codec video still.

Searching on Google, you will see many Samsung Smart TV H.265/HEVC video playback issues:

"This is my current setup: Synology DS213+ (DSM 5.2).
PMS v0.9.15.6.
Samsung UE40JU6440 (With built-in Plex client) I seem to be having issues trying to stream an x265 encoded stream using Plex. I get the message that “This server is not powerful enough.”

"Will there ever be a firmware update that recognizes the h.265 HEVC codec? My Samsung TV
Model: UN32EH5300FXZA"

One of the ways to play H.265/HEVC video on Samsung Smart TV is to use Plex. The lates Plex should support x265 codec. If you play H.265 video via Plex on Samsung Smart TV, Plex can transcode H.265 video to your Samsung Smart TV supported codec video. However, if your Samsung Smart TV is old model or doesn’t support H.265 at all, this way often is out of work.

The better way get HEVC X265 video files to playback on Samsung Smart TV is to transcode H.265 to H.264 video in advance then you can play your H.265 video on Samsung TV via Plex or USB. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is the best H.265 decoder/encoder that can convert H.265 codec to H.264, MPEG-4 codec video for Samsung Smart TV. It can convert H.265 codec video to MP4, MKV, AVI, WMV, etc for Samsung Smart TV. Besides, it also can export Samsung TV preset from any video format. It can convert MKV to Samsung TV, AVI to Samsung TV, etc, even rip Blu-ray and DVD to Samsung Smart TV.

No matter it is an expansive collection of DVDs or a lot of older DVDs sitting around in your house, copying these DVDs to an External Hard Drive would be a great way to streaming. Once made backups of your DVD collection to Exteral Hard Drive, you can stream your DVD movies on HD TV without using DVD Player and DVD discs, preventing from DVD disc scratching and damaging, and save the space on your cupboard. You can see many needs about the DVD to Exteral Hard Drive backup:

"I am trying to download some movies onto our external hard drive so that I can plug it into my laptop and watch movies on the plane. Can anyone help me with this and will it work?" – from tomshardware.com

" I’ve got hundreds of DVDs at my apartment but get tired of lugging them around so I wanted to get an external hard drive and just watch my movies Via that, plus I’ll have them all with me at the same time which will be cool. I’ve got zero experience with this sort of thing so was hoping I could just get a quick list of what I’ll need to accomplish this, I.e. programs, etc. All of these are store purchased and not burned DVDs if that makes a difference in what you have to use? Also how many movies could someone potentially store on a 1TB drive ?" – from .tomsguide.com

So just let’s start to copy DVD to Exteral Hard Drive For Streaming on TV/Laptop/PC/PS4/PS3, ETC.

Preparation

A DVD Ripping Tool – You can rip unprotected DVDs with Handbrake but for commercial DVDs, you have to turn to a professional DVD ripping tool to remove the copy protection. If you don’t mind all the DVD rips are MKV files, you can use MakeMKV. But I prefer Pavtube ByteCopy for its DVD (and Blu-ray) decryption power. It supports to decrypt AACS, BD+ up to v61 while MakeMKV only supports up to v60. And ByteCopy can 1:1 backup DVD movies, main title copy DVDs and convert DVD to lossless MKV, Multi-track MP4/AVI/MOV, SD/HD MKV, MP4, WMV, AVI, 3GP, 3D SBS MKV/MP4, H.265 MKV/MP4, 4K MP4, etc. For more functions, you can refer to its review.

DVD discs – It depends on what DVD ripping software you choose. If you choose Handbrake, your DVDs should be unprotected. If you are using ByteCopy, you can copy any DVD to External Hard Drive like the new released House Of Cards, Hannibal, The Walk, Spectre 007, The Martian, Game of Thrones Complete Seasons (1-6), etc.

A Computer – Note: If you are using a Mac, you shoulf use Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.

4K is the mainstreaming in the future, that’s why 4K TV having eaten more market share than 3D TV. But it doesn’t mean you can play 4K video only on a 4K TV. For example, you can play 4K video on Samsung TV via Roku 4 since Roku 4 supports video files with 4k resolution. It allows people watch 4K video on any TV hooked to the Roku 4. It does not need to be a 4k TV. That means, if you have a normal Samsung TV, you still can stream 4K video on it via Roku 4. 

 

To stream 4K video on Samsung TV via Roku 4, you need to know which video can be played or pass through via Roku 4 to TV.

Video Resolutions and Codecs 

 

Only supported 4K file types are shown in the Roku Media Player channel when streaming to Samsung TV. If your 4K video is not supported by Roku, it will hide the unsupported 4K files. So, if you download some 4K YIFY video, 4K ISO images, 4K YouTube FLV video or some 4K shootings from DJI Phantom 4 4K video, you’d better convert these 4K video to Roku 4/Samsung TV supported format. 

There are a number of tools capable of converting videos into a format that is playable on the Roku player and Samsung TV.  One of the more popular ones is called Handbrake. We have found that the Handbrake preset, “Regular – High Profile”, produces files that play well on Roku.

Steps to Convert 4K video to Roku 4 streaming on Samsung TV 

Step 1. Import 4K videos 

This program offers you two ways to upload your 4K Video files. You can either click the “Files” button to browse your hard disk or local directories and load the target files or simply drag your local 4K videos onto the interface. The software supports batch conversion. 

 

Step 2. Choose output format for Samsung TV

Note: If your Samsung TV is 4K model and support H.265, you can choose “Format > HD Video” to select “H.265 Video (*.mp4)” as the output format. 

 

Step 3: Custom 4K Video 

Audio Settings: 

Multichannel AAC  is not supported on all Roku models. Roku TV’s and Roku 4 set-top-boxes do support multichannel decode to PCM stereo. On Roku set-top-boxes Dolby Digital audio (AC3, EAC3) is only supported via pass through. DTS is only supported via pass through on both Roku set-top-boxes and Roku TV’s. You must connect your Roku player via HDMI or S/PDIF to a TV or receiver capable of decoding Dolby Digital or DTS in order to hear videos with audio tracks in those formats. 

So the best audio settings is to choose AAC stereo. Just click “Settings” icon on the interface then open a window like the below. Reset audio codec to AAC and channel to stereo. 

 

Subtitle Settings 

The Roku Media Player channel supports embedded subtitles in .mkv files. To choose a subtitle track use the ‘*’ button while the video is playing. 

The Roku Media Player will automatically include subtitle tracks found in .SRT files. The .srt files must be saved in the same folder as the video. They must have the same name as the video. They must have an extension of .srt. To include multiple .srt files you must insert a language extension for example movie.eng.srt or movie.ger.srt. 

So if you need subtitle, you can choose HD MKV format in the step two and change its video codec to H.265, size to 2160p in the step 3.

He wants to get rid of the trouble in taking too much time to find the disc he want from the bookshelf with a large number of discs.

Many of his friends have chose to migrate their Blu-ray discs to media server or personal cloud storage in Home Theater and he wants to have a try now.

Outputting your computer to your HDTV via HDMI works well. Unfortunately, your computer’s placement depends upon the length of the cable. With Google Chromecast, however, you can literally mirror any browser tab or even your desktop, from anywhere, in just a few clicks. Based on the benefits, many people just wonder that if they can stream their DVD movies from computer to HD TV via Chromecast.



If Chromecast can cast your other movies from computer to HD TV, why not try to cast DVD? The reasons you are suspicious of the feasibility probably are the DVD copy protection and the incompatibility with Chromecast. What if we change DVD “disc format” to a Chromecast supported video? What is the difference between the normal MP4 video and MP4 video extracted from DVD? I don’t think they are different. 

What’s more, this kind of DVD Ripping is not a tough job with the help of Pavtube BDMagic. It is a integrated DVD Ripper that can remove any encryption in DVD discs and convert it to Chromecast supported MP4, AVI, MKV, FLV, MOV, VOB, 3G2, etc. It also allows you to choose audio and video codec in DVD ripping process in that Chromecast only is compatible H.264 video and AAC, MP3 audio.

When people are playing movies on Samsung TV, some of them respond that they meet troubles while playing MKV files on their Samsung Smart TV H6400. I think Samsung H6400 TV is just one case among many failure MKV video playback on Samsung TV.

MKV is an open standard free container that can store various video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file. It is not a friendly format for most popular smart TV including Samsung H6400 TV that’s why although Samsung TV claims to support MKV files, sometimes we still can not solve the issues that Samsung TV won’t play MKV. This is probably because MKV files are with DTS audio and Samsung smart TV have bad compatibility with DTS audios.

To play MKV file on Samsung H6400 Smart TV successfully, you’d better transform MKV to Samsung TV most compatible MP4 format in case the codec in MKV file is not accepted by Samsung TV. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is a good choice. You can input any MKV file, even in H.265 codec to this MKV to Samsung Smart TV converter. It can export nearly all video formats you have all seen. The most important thing is that it has a TVs profile which offers you the best preset for your Samsung TV.
