It is not a friendly format for most popular smart TV including Samsung H6400 TV that’s why although Samsung TV claims to support MKV files, sometimes we still can not solve the issues that Samsung TV won’t play MKV. This is probably because MKV files are with DTS audio and Samsung smart TV have bad compatibility with DTS audios.

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is a good choice. You can input any MKV file, even in H.265 codec to this MKV to Samsung Smart TV converter. It can export nearly all video formats you have all seen.

Based on the benefits, many people just wonder that if they can stream their DVD movies from computer to HD TV via Chromecast.



If Chromecast can cast your other movies from computer to HD TV, why not try to cast DVD? The reasons you are suspicious of the feasibility probably are the DVD copy protection and the incompatibility with Chromecast. What if we change DVD “disc format” to a Chromecast supported video?

A viewer wrote in asking how he can backup his old Blu-ray collection to Western Digital Media Server for his Samsung Ultra HD TV. He wants to get rid of the trouble in taking too much time to find the disc he want from the bookshelf with a large number of discs. The viewer said he never tried to rip Blu-ray discs but recent years he often heard about Blu-ray rip. Many of his friends have chose to migrate their Blu-ray discs to media server or personal cloud storage in Home Theater and he wants to have a try now.

If the viewer knows of Blu-ray ripping, he should be aware that in the Blu-ray to WD Media Server migration, a Blu-ray Ripper is a necessary. Since he is a newbie in Blu-ray backup, here I want to use the most simple steps to help copy Blu-ray to WD Media Server with Samsung Ultra HD TV supported format.

Step 1: Download and install Blu-ray to WD Media Server/Samsung TV converter at: 

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have all your DVD movies on a hard drive or media server so you can watch anything at a moment’s notice? You could go one step further than a laptop or PC and store the DVD videos on a NAS drive and watch them on your TV via a media streamer such as a WD TV Live Hub.

It makes a lot of sense to rip the contents of your DVDs onto a NAS or hard drive and stick the bulky cases in a box in the attic – or clear them out for good. Thankfully, there’s plenty of free software available to do just that, and as long as you stick to ripping discs that you legally purchased, you’re not doing anything wrong. Facing with so many DVD to TV converter softwares, do you know which one is most suitable for you? Which one deserves your money? Here, lets watch the comparison chart below to find the differences between 2016 best DVD to TV Converter Softwares.

Comparison of 2016 Best DVD to TV Converter Software

From the comparison sheet, you can see Pavtube BDMagic and Pavtube DVDAid will be the winners because they not only can convert DVD without copy protection but also can rip commercial DVD to TV. What’s more, only them can output optimized preset for TVS. But since Pavtube BDMagic also can rip and backup Blu-ray, so I think it is indeed Golden Winner.

Once your create a backup of DVD in TV supported format, you can transfer these DVD backups to Home Network. After that, you can watch DVD movies on HD TV via Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, etc.
