If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. 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 versa.

After conversion, you can stream the converted Blu-ray movies through media server to iPad, Samsung Galaxy S5, Roku, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 or other DLNA-compliant devices for watching.
