If you’re planning to watch Thanksgiving DVD movies from your existing collection with family members or friends, I think how to get your Thanksgiving DVD movies on iPad/Apple TV via Plex is your confusion.
It is well known that iPad/Apple TV/Plex supports very few formats, which include H.264 and MPEG-4 videos meaning Thanksgiving DVD cannot work with your Plex channel on iPad/Apple TV. This means you will have to convert your DVD movies to an iPad/Apple TV/Plex supported file format ( like MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, etc.) . For this purpose, you will have to find a good Mac DVD ripper software (2015 Top 5 Best DVD Ripper for Mac Review for iPad/Apple TV.

Step 1: Add the DVD movies
Insert your DVD disc to the drive, then launch the DVD and click the "Load from disc" button to select and load the DVD movies you want to store on your Plex. VIDEO_TS folder, ISO and IFO files are also supported. After the DVD movie is loaded, you can preview it on the right viewing window and adjust volume or take snapshots freely.
Step 2: Choose output format
Choose a compatible format for iPad/Apple TV playing via Plex. Here I recommend you click the format bar and choose "H.264 video (*.m4v)".
Additional Tips:
As mentioned above, officially, the iPads support MPEG-4 and H.264 with .mov, .m4v, and .mp4 extensions video, meaning that’s the only media recognized over Plex’ Direct Play.
