How to Use Handbrake Alternative to rip Blu-ray to Windows Home Server for your All Devices?
Step 1: Load files to the program
Start the program on your computer and click”Load disc” from”File”drop-down list to add the Blu-ray/DVD you desire to convert to the application.
Step 2: Choose output file format.
Considering the portable devices you will use will not be limited, so I suggest you here to select a format that’s widely support by many portable devices such as ”H.264 Video(*MP4)” format as the output profile from the”Format” drop-down option.
Tip: For smaller size and better playback your Blu-ray movies via Windows Home Server on various multimedia players, you can adjust the output video parameters. Remember, lower bitrate leads to lower video size.
Step 3: Start to rip Blu-ray to Home Server
Hit the right-bottom ”Convert” button to start transcode Blu-ray to MP4 for placing to Windows Home Server. Once the process ends, open the output folder to find the ripped Blu-ray movies.
