Streaming DVD movie to HDTV is not as easy as streaming MPG videos clips. In the first place, DVD movies are copy-protected, and you have to rip movies off. Besides, although DVD movies are MPEG-2 encoded videos, they are enveloped in .vob format, which is not a native streaming media format. So you have to .vob to .mpg, .avi or other streaming media format. More or less, you suffer some quality loss when decoding DVD videos. Is there any way to convert DVD to streaming media format without quality loss? The following guide shows you how to convert DVD to .mpg video while keeping original video, audio and subtitles so as to stream DVD movies to DLNA compliant HDTV from a networked PC or DLNA media server.

The above process helps you bypass the DVD copy-protections, extract video, audio, subtitles streams and chapter info from DVD, and package them to MKV container. If you don’t want some subtitles or audio tracks, e.g. French language, simply uncheck them from subtitles or audio languages.

Remuxing is not losing any quality as it only repackaging the audio and video streams. And it takes less time than encoding as well.
