How to rip DVD for playing on Oculus Rift CV1

Step 1: Add DVD movies

Launch the top DVD to Oculus Rift CV1 converter, add your DVD files by clicking the "Add DVD" icon. ISO and DVD folder are also supported.


Step 2: Select a suitable output video format

As we mentioned above, Oculus Rift CV1 supports MP4, AVI, FLV, etc format. You can click the "Select ormat" bar and choose one from "Format > Video" list. Or select customized profile for Oculus Rift offered by this top VR video converter from "Device > VR".

Step 3. Select 3D mode

Click "Edit" and in the video editor windows, turn to "3D" tab and then choose "Left-Right" effect.


Step 3: Video encoding settings

By clicking the "Settings" button, you can modify the video/audio parameters. For ripping DVD to view on Oculus Rift CV1, 2D/3D videos for the Cinema app should be in 720p (1280*720) with a higher bitrate around 5mbit/s. Higher resolutions for the specific format doesn't make the quality better but are a waste of power and battery life.


Step 4: Start to rip DVD to Oculus Rift CV1

The last step is to press the big "Start" button on the right to start converting DVD files to Oculus Rift CV1. The conversion takes a few minutes, after conversion, you can click "Open" to locate the output videos. Then you can transfer and play videos on your Oculus Rift CV1 from your VR video player app.  

Here is the list of Oculus Rift video players that you could find. If we missed any, do contact us and we’ll add it.

1. Total Cinema 360 Oculus Player

This player has a good customer support, followed by a lot of features at which you can take a peek on their official website. Apart from watching video in full 360 degrees, it lets you experience videos on the web from both desktop and mobile browsers. Download here.

2.  LiveViewRift

Say hello to one of the most popular DK2 video players. It is on top of the list for many people, and for a good reason. It perform superbly, has a solid tracking, and has no performance issues. It is my second favourite Oculus Rift video player. Download here.

3. VR Player

VR Player is a known program amongst Oculus Rift veterans. Although I would not recommend using it with DK2 (as it has some performance issues), it is one of the best video players available for the first Oculus Rift development kit. Download here.

4. CINEVEO

CINEVEO is a bit of a controversial app. Its creator, Sven Kohn, had some dishonorable ways to market his program, as well as having a bad customer support. Due to these incidents, CINEVEO has been blacklisted in vrapps & EnterTheRift.fr. You can read more about the incident here on reddit. Price is $9.99. 

5. MaxVR

MaxVR does everything that you ask him to. There are no complications with this program. Although some features might be missing, it can be seen as something positive. It is one of the most simplistic players that doesn’t confuse their users. Download here. Price is $9.99.

6. RiftMax

Riftmax has also its own spin to all these video players. Apart from watching movies and everything you want, you are able to invite friends or join parties, like in Convrge. To make the best of this social interaction, you can use your spotlight to sing some karaoke to others. Download here.

7. Kolor Eyes

This one has a lot of functions to offer. Apart from watching 360 videos, you can experience movies online, and have an opportunity to connect your Apple or Android devices with your VR headset (GearVR implied). More information here.

8. Whirligig

Whirligig has been praised for its smoothness. No judder is a big plus, especially when watching movies for hours on end. Some people even have named Whirligig as one of the best Oculus Rift video players available. Download here.

9. Virtual Desktop

Finally, this one is my favourite. Although LiveViewRift is pretty close in terms of first place, I prefer this one over anything else. Virtual Desktop has all the necessary functions, performs well and lets you watch Youtube 360 videos with an Oculus Rift (click for guide). Download here.

10. VorpX

With the latest updates, vorpX is not only making itself one of the leading VR injection programs, but adds extra functionalities like video player options to user menu. Apart from just watching regular movies, you can now enjoy 3D movies, as long as they are in VLC and MPC-HC format. Download here. Price is $39.

11. VLCRiftPlayer

VLCRiftPlayer is a simple program that does its job well. It is also one of the few video players for Oculus Rift that lets you add subtitles since they’re built directly into VLC. Download here.

Copy and Put DVD to NAS with MPEG-2 format

An easier way to backup DVD to NAS, so that you can preserve them on NAS or playback on media player/home theatre for sharing with families and friends.

How to play DVD via NAS on TV, PS4, Xbox 360 without using DVD discs?

If your home network lacks a NAS box, you're missing out on one count: network-attached storage (NAS) is the easiest way to store your media libraries and stream files to any PC or networked audio device in your house. You can also stream your favorite movies to your devices. In front of these benefits, many DVD owners are willing to rip their DVD collection to digital formats like MPEG-2 for storing on NAS with integrated DLNA server so that they can stream DVD videos via NAS on TV, PS4, Xbox 360 with integrated DLNA server.



Why we choose MPEG-2?

MPEG-2 Preserves Complete Movie Content (Audio, Video and Subtitles)

One of the main advantages of ripping DVD to MPEG-2 rather than MP4, AVI or WMV is that MPEG-2 holds unlimited number of video, audio, subtitle tracks and metadata. To be exactly, by ripping DVD to MPEG-2 format, you can get the entire movie with sound, subtitle tracks, along with menus and chapter structure, into one single MPEG-2 file.

How to rip DVD to NAS with MPEG-2?

In order to play DVD movies through NAS, a decent tool is needed to rip and convert DVD to NAS. Here Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is recommended as the best DVD to NAS converter. With it, you can easily remove any protection on a DVD and convert DVD movies to MPEG-2 format as well as almost all popular digital format like H.264, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, MOV, etc, keeping the original quality maximally.

What's more, this DVD ripping software provides the preset formats with optimized settings for over 150 popular devices, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Galaxy Tab 4, PS4/PS3, Xbox One and many more for directly playback. If you are running on Windows PC, turn to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate. Now let's learn how to do it.

Tutorial: How to Rip DVD to NAS for streaming

STEP 1. Add DVD files

Insert your DVD disc into your DVD-ROM, run the DVD ripping software and click "Add DVD" icon to load your DVD movies. As you can see, you can preview the loaded DVD files in the preview window by double clicking and select DVD audio track. DVD folder, ISO files are supported as well.



STEP 2. Choose output format

To convert DVD to NAS storing and streaming, just click on the dropdown menu of "Select Format", and then choose MPEG-2 from "Format > Video" profile list.

Tip: If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. To save your storage space, you can compress your DVD movies. 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 verse.



STEP 3. Start converting DVD to NAS

Press the "Start" button to start ripping DVD movies for NAS streaming. When the conversion finishes, click Open button to find the output files. Make sure the wireless network connection is accessible among the NAS and HD TV or other media players. You can freely share converted files to your TV or mobile devices wirelessly with Dimo free media server. Then just enjoy the high quality movies at ease.
