In order to put my movies into my personal server for PLEX to read I needed to convert my DVDs to digital. I had 100+ Disney animated DVDs that I wanted on my new PLEX server. I downloaded a program called MDRP to convert all of my DVDs digitally. The first five are free, then after that you pay something like $25. After trying it out and making sure the movies played back well, I bought the program because I had over 80 movies to go.

Once I had a system going it was really easy. I put the dvd in, make sure all of the chapters are selected, select the file type I want it to convert to (I said mpg4) and click start. It dings when complete and I check to make sure that it plays correctly, then I move it to my server folder.

Once I move the movies over PLEX basically takes care of the rest, it automatically recognizes the movie title and locates the appropriate movie poster, summary, year, star rating and other info about the film.

And after a couple of weeks I had my entire collection now digitally organized in my own personal netflix so I never have to go through my DVD stack to choose a movie again. My kids and I can easily pick out movies to watch by scrolling through our library.
