Steps to rip DVD to MP4/MKV
Step 1. Load DVD disc
Click the "Load DVD" button on the menu bar to load your DVD files.
Step 2: Set output format
To stream DVD to Roku 3, just click on the dropdown menu of "Format", and then choose “HD Video” >”MKV HD Video(*.mkv)” or “H.264 HD Video(*.mp4)”.
Tip: If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.
Step 4: Start to convert
Click the “Convert” button under the preview window, and the app will start the conversion from DVD to MKV/MP4 for Roku 3. And you can hit "Open" to quick locate the converted video.
Just a few steps and you can stream DVD to Roku 3 through Plex at ease.
