“I am trying to join the world of XBMC recently, but what I would like some help on is what are people’s best practice for ripping DVDs that they play via XBMC in HTPC? What software do you use? What format preserves picture quality and multi-channel sound? Do you have to do something special when you are ripping the DVDs?”

Samsung Gear VR is a self-contained, portable, high-quality virtual reality gaming headset. Looking around to inspect the home theater chairs around you is almost as fun as watching a 3D movie trailer with it (and yes, you can watch 3D movies in 3D in this 3D space). If you have collected some 3D Blu-ray discs, do you know how to rip them for watching on a huge screen using Samsung Gear VR unit inside a Oculus VR Cinema?

The Season 5 of AMC’s The Walking Dead made its premiere on October 12, 2014, which pulled in 17.3 million total viewers and will conclude on March 29, 2015. Yes, you may have gotten DVDs of former 4 seasons for a review during this break period but face the problems that DVD discs are so fragile to be easily scratched, why not copy the The Walking Dead DVD to your portable devices on a trip to retrospect the previous story anytime you want and anywhere you’re in when waiting for the comings of the next episodes.
