The two most popular options for this are Kodi (formerly XBMC) and Plex Media Server. Simply copying your movie files to each of your devices does work, but there are applications that let you stream content on-demand to other devices on your own network with a Netflix-style interface. That's only counting the movie file itself - if you want to store the bonus content as well, make more room on your PC. DVD movies are usually only a few gigabytes, but Blu-Ray movies can easily take up 20-60GB of space. You'll also need a fair amount of disk space, since the ripping process involves dumping the contents of a disc onto your PC. I use the ~$50 LG WH14NS40 for both DVDs and Blu-Rays, and it generally works well, but it's an internal drive that only works on desktops with a spare SATA slot. Blu-ray drives (which can also read all DVDs) are still significantly more expensive than DVD drives, especially external USB models - the Pioneer BDR-XD07B is a popular option for ripping, but it costs around $100. Not all drives are created equal for ripping, but the ASUS ZenDrive Silver is a great (and affordable) option for DVDs.
If your PC already has a drive, or if you have an external DVD/Blu-Ray drive collecting dust in a closet or drawer, you're already one step ahead! There are a few things you need to rip DVDs or Blu-Rays. That's how little I need the bells and whistles.SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Prepare your setup I mean if the Windows Media Server could transcode and didn't take so long to get to my files, I'd use it. and Mezzmo runs my CU at 100% to transcode, so it's out. I tried Jellyfin but it had really wrong data and tries to organize everything that's not cleanly in a folder by episode instead of show (6 shows all listed as E01 A, E01 B, E01 C, etc. I don't care about the metadata and the organization and all that stuff. So I swapped to UMS for the basic function. but since a glitch happened there, the thing swears I have no folders or playable media on my devices when the web browser shows everything. I used TVersity for forever and loved it because it was very basic and uncluttered. It did this weird thing when it was going through my files and I never trusted it again.
