Solved - Ripping DVDs to RN104 then stream to Amazon Fire TV 2

Q: “ I would like to copy my 300 or so DVDs to my RN104 then be able to watch them on my Amazon Fire TV, both are connected via 100Mbps Ethernet. I have a 104" screen and a Hi-Fi based 5 channel surround system so sound and video quality is most important, I am not fussed about file size as I have loads of storage on the RN104. I'm using a Cambridge Audio 551R as a pre-amplifier which can decode every current surround format so I'd like to keep the highest quality soundtrack available on the DVD, whether that be Dolby Digital or preferably DTS if it's there. I have been test MakeMKV and Handbreak but faild. Many thanks in advance for anyone out there who can help!” - Fromhttps://community.netgear.com/

Though playing DVDs on New Amazon Fire TV 2 from RN104 is still out of the question because of Amazon Fire TV 2 is lack of the DVD drive. As we know, Amazon Fire TV 2 usually supports video formats including H.263, H.264, MPEG4-SP, etc. And RN104 support MP4 files too.

  • Fire TV Supported Video/Audio: H.263/H.264/MPEG4-SP/VC1 & AAC/AC-3/E-AC-3/HE-A/PCM/MP3. And read Plex Supported Video and Audio Format here.



Tip: From the specification of Amazon Fire TV 2, the video in H.264/AVC codec can be up to 1080p and 30 fps. So you can hit on “Settings” to open settings window where you can adjust the video size to 1080p and frame rate to 30 fps.

After all settings, just press “Convert” icon below the preview window. Once the process ends, you can locate the generated file in output folder.
