Of course, it also allows you to play DVD games as the professional game console. Xbox One can play your DVD videos with internet connecting Xbox Live and it also enables you watch DVD movies without internet.

For the past few years, many people have been researching a build for a new home server for personal backups and media streaming. A movie server allows you to quickly view your entire collection on the screen. Large collections can be searched, sorted or filtered by genre, rating, title, actor or other parameters for quick retrieval. When searching some old movies or new released movies on Media Server, it might not update timely to cover the movies. In this cases, you can rent some new DVDs and copy your old DVD collections to Media Server to enlarge your media library on Media Server.

DVD is a physical media that is only limited to being played by DVD player device provided with DVD-ROM. It would be a popularly acceptable way to transfer these DVD collections to a media server for playing more flexibly. To rip DVD to media server, you need a DVD ripping tool.

The DVD Ripping software tools

Handbrake is a free open-source front-end to libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. You can use Handbrake to rip DVDs to media server. But HandBrake can’t decrypt protected DVD clips but it works well for converting almost any video files into the MP4 formats that most media servers use. Specifically, Handbrake can import most video formats and transform them into the MP4 and MKV (Matroska video format) containers. Most, but not all media servers and extenders support MP4. Fewer still support MKV. Read handbrake supported files.

MakeMKV is also a popular program and it can decrypt Blu-Ray DVDs to media server. But the drawback is that you only can use MakeMKV to rip Blu-ray and DVD to MKV container for media server. MKV can support multiple video and audio codecs, such as H.264 and AAC audio. In general, containers concern how video and audio data is laid out and what supplementary information is used to describe those A/V streams. It will often meet video and audio playback issues such as video audio out of sync on Media Server when playing MKV files.

Then, Pavtube ByteCopy will be the best choice to rip DVD to a media server. This top-ranking DVD-ripping utility can remove the Content Scrambling System (CSS) or similar built-in protections that prevent straight-up copying and convert DVD to mobile-or-home-theater-friendly format so that you can stream DVD rips via media server on HD TV through media extender. 

Supported Output File Types: lossless MKV, encoded multi-track mp4/mov/avi, H.265/HEVC, H.264/MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, MKV, MP4, AVI, MPEG, WMV, FLV, SWF, F4V, MOV, 3GP, 3G2, VOB, TS, DV, MPEG-2 HD Video (*.mpg), MPEG- TS Video(*.ts), Quick Time HD Video (*.mov), WMV HD Video (*.wmv), Audio-Video Interleaved HD Video (*.avi)

Note: Pavtube ByteCopy version 4.9.0.0 and higher versions have updated to support to rip DVD and Blu-ray to HEVC at up to 30x times ripping speed with NVIDIA CUDA hardware acceleration on the condition that your computer is geared with CUDA-enabled GPU. To figure out if your computer has CUDA GPU, you can refer to this page. So with Pavtube ByteCopy, you can easily and rapidly rip DVD to media server.

Start to Copy DVD to Media Server Supported Format

Step 1: Click “File” to import DVD movies to the software. You can also add DVD Folder, DVD IFO File,DVD ISO Image File to convert. Of course, you also can import Blu-ray to rip to media server for TV.

Step 2: When you open the “Format” drop-down list, you can see many output format choices. Considering the most compatibility, HD MP4 is recommended here for its high video quality. You also can choose other video format. If you want to rip DVD and Blu-ray to MKV for media server, it’s OK, too.

Note:

1. The output format is preferably in a common 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 your DVD rips to your Xbox One via media server. 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 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 big red “Convert” to start to rip DVD to media server friendly format. Once the process ends, open the output folder to locate the DVD rips. Once the videos are converted you can then add the DVD rips to your media server’s library. With some DLNA servers that’s as easy as placing them in a specific directory. 

The media server and extender Recommended

To stream DVD rips conveniently, you not only need a media server, you also need a media extender. Supported media server are iTunes, MythTV, or Windows Media Center, that enables you to “broadcast” your videos to other computers and media extenders. Supported media extender have Apple TV, the Xbox One and most 2011 and newer Blu-Ray DVD players, such as a Sony BDP-S580, that lets you view video from your media server on your TV.

Most, but not all, of these programs and devices support one version or another of the Universal Plug and Play Forum’s (UPnP) Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA). In theory any DLNA server can transmit to any DLNA media extender.

VLC seems to be omnipotent to play HEVC, Blu-ray, DVD, MKV, etc. But it will meet its waterloo in Tivo files. VLC can’t play Tivo files:

"I just installed Stinky’s MPEG-2 Codecs, and WMP 11 plays my .tivo files just fine. 
How can I get VLC to play them as well?"

"Does anyone know if you can play TIVO files on the VideoLan VCL player?  It is ‘playing’… I can hear the sound, but the video is just all streaks.  What adjustments do I need to make?  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me."

Tivo only work in WMP because TiVo Desktop installs a thingamajig for them. VLC doesn’t use system codecs/filters/whatnot, so the .TiVo file won’t work. But if you convert it to a plain MPEG, it should work fine. Also, you can add Tivo-VLC to play Tivo files on VLC.

Method 1: Install TiVo-VLC to play Tivo with VLC

TiVo-VLC is a set of modules for the VLC Project that provide compatability with TiVo file formats and server.

With these modules and VLC, you can:

• Play TiVo “TY” format files from any source VLC can access including files & many types of streaming.
• Get “Now Showing” lists and play any program from your TiVo directly in VLC.
  Note: You must have a “hacked” TiVo with vserver running on it for this to work.
• Transcode TY files into almost any other media file format using different audio and video codecs. This includes everything VLC supports. See their webpage here for a current list.

Installation

1. Download and install VLC. Make sure it works. Instructions and files can be found at the VLC website. Be aware that VLC will only load modules which have the exact same version as the main executable. Our pre-compiled binaries are for VLC version 0.8.1.
2. If you can use a pre-compiled binary, download one from the project’s downloads page.
3. If you can’t or don’t want to use a pre-compiled binary, you can get the source from the same place. Since the source for vstream hasn’t been officially released yet, you can get it from the CVS repository. Note that building the module from source requires the entire VLC source tree as well. There are further build notes within the source releases.
4. Put the modules (.dll or .so or .dylib or whatever) into your VLC modules directory. On Unix machines, this is usually something like /usr/lib/vlc/demux for the libty module and /usr/lib/vlc/accessfor the libvstream module. On windows, this is the “plugins” directory located wherever you unzipped the VLC package.
5. Run VLC. The modules should be loaded. You can now type things like this:
   • vlc tivo://my-tivo-address/plist and after a few seconds VLC’s playlist will be filled with all available shows on your TiVo. Double-click on an entry and it starts playing! (Requires vserver running on your TiVo.)
   • vlc tivo://my-tivo-address/12345 where 12345 is the FSID of a program on your TiVo. The FSID can be obtained through many methods, including looking at the “properties” of an entry in your VLC playlist after issuing the “plist” command above. (Requires vserver running on your TiVo.)
   • vlc some-ty-file.ty to play a TY file
   • vlc some-ty-file.ty ‘:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=512,acodec=mp3,ab=192}: std{access=file,mux=ps,url=outfile.mpg}’ (all on one line) and your TY file will be transcoded into MPEG-4 video, MP3 audio, with the bitrates stated. There are dozens of combinations and other options. Check out VLC’s documentation for more.

   On Unix systems and cygwin, you can specify -vvv on the command line and when VLC starts, it will tell you which modules have been loaded.

Method 2: Convert Tivo to MP4 for VLC Playback

You also can transcode Tivo to MP4, MKV, MPEG for VLC playback with some video converters. Whenever looking for the best software program to convert TiVo to MP4, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimateshould definitely stand out as the best solution. It is the best because you will have the privilege of personalizing your video files prior to conversion. This is because it comes with a built-in editor that will give you the freedom to manipulate key aspects of the files. You can trim it down to reduce size; you can embed a watermark to brand the video or add a subtitle. If there are unwanted contents in your video, you can remove using the editor.

It can convert Tivo to VLC supported MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, MPEG, etc. It also can convert Tivo to Android, iPad, QuickTime, Game Console, Samsung. It even can convert 3D Tivo to Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, LG 3D TV, PS VR, Daydream VR, HTC Vive in 3D MP4, 3D MKV, etc.

Tip 1: How to find your Media Access Key on TiVo: Go to “TiVo Central” menu >> “Messages and Set Up” >> “Account and System Information”, and you will see your Media Access Key there.

Step 2:
If you plan to re-encode Tivo to VLC with more compatible format like MP4, just navigate to “Format” > “HD Video” > “H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)” as output file format. 

Tip:
When selected MP4 as the output format for VLC, you can open “Settings” window to check the settings. If you still keep AVI format in the former step, you maybe need to reset the settings to more compatible one for VLC. 

Step 4:
After all the settings, just click “Convert” button to start to transcode Tivo to VLC supported format.

Once the conversion ends, you can locate the MP4 files in output folder. Then you can play Tivo with VLC without installing Tivo-VLC.

Main reason for getting one Xbox One S for many people would be the attraction of a UHD disk player. For those who never really have a 4K Blu-ray before now but they many in the future perhaps whould like to play some occasional MKV. So will the Xbox One S be able to play these MKV files? Actually, MKV videos can now be played on both Xbox One S and Xbox One. But since MKV is container that can include different A/V codecs, there are many issues that "MKV can’t be played on Xbox One/Xbox One S".

"Why can’t I play mkv files on my Xbox One? They work, but only for the audio. I downloaded some movies into a hard drive to watch on my Xbox, but then only the audio is playing and not the actual movie on the screen. It’s a black screen with the audio of the movie. Anyone know how to resolve this problem?"

"hi everyone, my old Xbox one and now new Xbox one S both seem to be transcoding all my MKV’s causing them to constantly buffer and becoming unwatchable. i got a synology ds416play about a month ago and was running the new plex dvr update 2 server from it and also running the same on my MacBook. all the files play on my iPhones, iPads and MacBook but NOTHING will play on my xbox. I’ve tried analysing, optimising but nothing works."

As the aforementioned, MKV is a container and it can contain many types of video files. Xbox One/Xbox One S can read MKV but only some types of MKV files. If you can’t play some of your MKV files on Xbox One/Xbox One S, you can check if the MKV A/V codec is supported by Xbox. Below are Xbox One/Xbox One S supported MKV codec and features.
