Different Ways to Rip 2016 Oscar Blu-ray “Straight Outta Compton”

Blu-ray may be majestic, but it has more copy protection than any other format around, which makes it difficult to be played on iPhone, iPad, Samsung TV, PS4, Amazon Fire TV etc. However, I have found my ways to rip Blu-ray and I successfully rip my 2016 Oscar Blu-ray “Straight Outta Compton” for my iPhone 6S, Apple TV, iPad, Sony HD TV etc in two ways. Here I want to share my experience on ripping 2016 Oscar Blu-ray “Straight Outta Compton” to you, so you can watch any Blu-ray movies on any devices you want.



Way One: Rip 2016 Oscar Blu-ray “Straight Outta Compton” with MakeMKV and Handbrake:

Just download and install MakeMKV and Handbrake (if you don’t have them already) and you’ll be good to go.

Step One: Rip the Movie with MakeMKV

The first thing we’re going to do is rip our movie to our hard drive, which will produce a very large MKV file of your movie at full, 1080p, Blu-Ray quality. It’ll be very large, but we’ll slim it down later, so for right now, don’t worry about how big it is.

Open up MakeMKV and hit the bit “Open Disc” button. It will scan through your disc, which will take a few minutes. When it’s done, it’ll give you a list of the chapters on the disc. Find your movie (usually the longest title) and uncheck all the other boxes. Then, just choose your Output Folder and hit the “Make MKV” button. Usually this’ll take a half hour or so, depending on the size of your disc, but once it’s done you should have a big MKV file waiting for you in the folder you chose.

Step Two: Choose Your Resolution in Handbrake

Now comes the more complicated (but also more fun) part of the process. There are a lot of settings available in Handbrake, and while we won’t delve into all the advanced features it has, you still have some choices to make and some settings to tweak. Most of it is personal preference, but we’ll outline what we recommend for getting the best compromise between quality and space savings on a movie-by-movie basis, so you can fit as many of those HD movies on your hard drive as possible.

The first thing you want to think about (which will affect your output size pretty heavily) is resolution. Blu-Rays are 1080p natively, and by default, Handbrake will keep that resolution. However, you may want to consider toning it down to 720p for some movies. 720p is still HD, but takes up quite a bit less space—in fact, by bringing our test movies down to 720p, I nearly halved the size of the final file. And, if we’re being honest, certain movies just don’t need all those pixels—I love Anchorman as much as anybody, but I don’t need to see Will Ferrel running around cracking jokes in magnificent 1080p. The Dark Knight, on the other hand, probably deserves all the pixels 1080p can offer. It’s up to you to decide which movies you’d like to dedicate an extra few gigs to, but toning the less visually interesting ones down is something I’d highly recommend.

If you’re ripping a movie that deserves 1080p, you can skip this step, because 1080p is the already the default resolution. If you want to change it to 720p, then click on the Picture tab (or the “Picture Settings” button along the top of the HandBrake window, depending on your platform). Set the “Anamorphic” box to “loose” and change the width to 1280. Note that Handbrake crops out the black bars on either side to save some space, so your height will not be 720, but rest assured that it will be what you know as 720p quality. Exit that window and return to HandBrake’s main settings.

Step Three: Set Your Quality Settings and Encode

Next, hit the High Profile preset in the right sidebar and choose your output type. I like MKV; it’s open in nature, supports DTS and AC3 audio, and works great in quite a few media players, including most media center software. Choose H.264 as your video codec and head to the Audio tab. Here, you have a few options depending on the nature of your disc. It will likely be some form of either AC3 (aka Dolby Digital) or DTS—there are a few different versions of each, but for each I recommend choosing the Passthru option for your Audio codec (AC3 Passthru or DTS Passthru). If you choose the DTS-HD or TrueHD track, you’ll get lossless audio, but you can save some space by choosing the regular DTS or AC3 track with very little loss in quality.

Lastly, we’ll pick the quality of our encode. This part is pretty open to experimentation, but it’s pretty widely accepted that doing a constant quality encode is the best option, so select that. I and many others have found that an RF of 18 is the “sweet spot” for Blu-Rays. This setting will give you a file much smaller than your original MKV (around 15% the size, I’ve found), but with quality nearly indiscernible to your eyes from the original. If you have particularly sensitive eyes, you may want it closer to 16, or even 14 for some Blu-Rays. If you tend to not notice minor imperfections, maybe and RF of 20 is more your speed. Again, this is personal preference, and it can depend on the movie too—movies with lots of fast motion and dark scenes will need a higher quality setting—that is, a lower RF—to look good. So, you may have to play with it a bit before you make your final decision. I’ve found a good way to do this is to rip a single scene using MakeMKV, then test that with a few different quality settings in Handbrake before encoding the final movie, since encoding the whole movie can take a long time.

When you’re ready, hit the encode button and let it go to town. It will take a little while, depending on the settings you’ve chosen, so maybe now is a time to kick back with a cold one and, if you’ve already ripped one of your Blu-Rays, watch one (or two or five—seriously, it could take awhile).

MKV is a container format that supports various codecs, including H.264, VC-1, AC3, DTS, etc. The compatibility of MKV format makes it possible to keep original video or audio compression format (video codec) when copying Blu-ray movie to MKV files. By directly package video and audio contents into MKV container without en-decoding, lossless video quality is retained and processing time is reduced greatly.

Not any container format can be more flexible than MKV. The MKV format allows for operations to single streams only. You can remove undesired audio tracks and subtitles from MKV; extract the video stream for compression and remux (re-pack) it into MKV file; add soft subtitles and external subtitles, and more.

How to Add Movies to Plex?

1. Download and install Plex. Click on the Computer download. Yes, you can also download it to your network-attached storage device if you have one. For this how-to, we're focusing on the desktop app. Once you've grabbed it, install it - there aren't any complicated settings you have to fuss with. Click the Launch button when you're done.

2. Create a Plex account. You don't have to have one if you don't want - just click the "Don't want an account" link at the somewhat-bottom of the screen, and you'll be transported to Plex's actual configuration screen. We recommend you go for it, though; it makes remote streaming much, much easier. Once you're done, Plex will transport you to the primary configuration screen. Agree to the EULA. You can create one just by entering a username, email address, and other information.

3. Click the "Already have an account" link to supply your credentials, or create one now.

4. Name thyself. All you have to do in the next screen is giving your desktop computer a name. By default, it'll use whatever name you've already assigned your desktop PC via Windows. If you're good with that, click Next.

5. Create your media library by clicking on the Add Section button. Plex will ask you what you're trying to add - movies, TV shows, music, photos or home movies. It's ok if you have multiple types of media in a given folder, but it's pretty easy to use Windows' standard conventions for storing things (the prebuilt Videos, Pictures, and Music folders that likely already exist on PC).

Once you've selected what you want to add, give the section a name (like "Movies") and click the Add Folder button to do just that. While Plex scans your media, you can add more folders if you so desire. Once you're all done, click the big orange Next button to go on.

6. Add Channels, or other third-party sites that you can tap into using a Plex-friendly app, by selecting them on the next screen. Click Install on the pop-up window for each channel to slap it into your Plex server. On the final screen, click Done to jump into the full Plex display.

7. You can edit Plex's default settings by clicking on the wrench and screwdriver icon in the window's upper-right. By default, you shouldn't have to play with anything, but you'll be able to use the Settings menu's myPlex section to see whether your computer can be found from outside your internal network (in other words, is your port forwarding working). You can also tell Plex how much it should scan the various folders you imported via the Library section. If you want Plex to auto-update every time you drop a new video in your Movies folder, that's where you'll find that option.

8. Finally, under the Plex/Web section (on the top), you can use the Player section on the sidebar to set the quality of your local and remote streams. If your network can support it, go big!
