If you want to backup and convert DVD collection or videos for playback in Plex, what would be the best video settings? Plex accepts a variety of different sources so that you can share media with friends all around the world and at the same times, its streaming function works smoothly due to its proprietary, closed-source ability. Plex is a media center software solution for streaming media from your computer to smart TV, tablets, smartphones, game consoles or various HD media players in your house. Most full-length movies come out around 2-3 GB and have pretty decent viewing quality.Since the storage sizes on shelves at home haven't quite caught up with increase of DVD collection, it's time to set up a streaming environment with Plex so you can get rid of hard discs and easily access to your media library without time or space limits. I use fixed framerate, x265 10-bit, constant quality 23, and the medium preset. I actually go the other direction and convert everything from mp4 to mkv, and I compress everything with handbrake. (Often there is formatting information stored in the file you can review, or the provider of the file will list the settings.) Look around at the files you find acceptable for video quality and size and look into the settings used to make those files. So it really comes down to what you like. Great video quality and tiny file size, but hours (or days) of processing time. This is like the good-fast-cheap triangle, where you can control for two of these, and the other scales ridiculously. Processing video is very processor intensive, so you usually end up finding a setting that yields a balance of acceptable video quality, file size, and processing time. Video compression is another whole issue. MKV and MP4 are containers to hold video, audio and other video-related streams. You are confusing video format/compression with the container.
