DVD Disc to Digital Service

Media Ripping Service

Breathe new life into your disc collection

Access your physical media collection through easy to use high-quality digital media files

Since 2012 we have been ripping clients CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray and 4K (UHD) disc collections into an organised, searchable directory for playing on computers, TVs, Home Theatres, Home Cinemas and mobile devices. Your digital media is titled and tagged so that your screens populate with rich content-specific information.


DIGIRAW helps households, AV specialists, yacht and private jet owners with online and off-line personal media streaming.

Instantly access your entire digital library on all of your devices using one of the many feature-rich app players like Infuse 7, and home media servers such as Plex.

If you don't have the time, motivation, equipment and software to format-shift your physical media personally, hiring DIGIRAW's decade long experience is a great way to go.

Based in Oxfordshire, England, DIGIRAW serves clients globally.

Most of our clients courier their physical media to us, but you are welcome to drop your media down to us by appointment.

Depending on your order value and location, we can also offer a personal collection and return service.

Lead times can vary according to the size of your disc library and our order book at the time, but typically we complete within two weeks.

Audio

All your devices are very at home with a stereo audio file, while your home theatre craves superior surround sound. We include multiple audio tracks for your mp4, including uncompressed DTS and DTS-MA/HD as per your disc. 

Opt for MKV, and if your disc has TrueHD, Atmos or DTS-X (object-based sound), we will include that first-class uncompressed sound option too.

Visual

Stunning picture perfect quality, Blu-ray HD preservation, and for your 4K titles, we maintain HDR (High Dynamic Range) when present.

Disc-to-Digital is never a compromise; it's convenient, future-proofing and de-cluttering. In fact, many choose to convert their discs to preserve and improve quality when compared to compressed titles from streaming services.

Play your DVDs on your iPads, iPhones, mobile devices and TVs

Your premier ripping service.

Converting your disc collection to digital is a resource heavy and intense process requiring skills gained through years of service. The result is a superior disc-to-digital library that you will enjoy for decades to come, and all at the touch of a button or voice command.

Subtitles 

Activating and deactivating subtitles is an MKV container feature. For the popular MP4, we can burn in the subtitles available on disc full-time, perfect for your foreign titles.

We pay particular attention to forced subtitles (also known as soft subtitles) so that periodic foreign or alien Sci-Fi speaking scenes are displayed automatically.

MP4 metadata tagging > 

Bring your media collection to life.

Metadata such as cover art, plot summary, cast, directors, year, genre, ratings, season numbers, and episode numbers and names are essential information empowering offline media servers such as iTunes to populate all fields across all your devices. Your titles will look and behave just as if you had purchased them from the iTunes Store directly.

N.B. You will not be able to upload your MP4 videos to iCloud. iCloud services for media are reserved for Apple's own content only.

File naming > 

The metadata agents adopted by media servers and players such as Plex, Emby and Infuse 7 perform best with accurate file naming. Major types of content are best separated from each other too; for example, we list movie and television content within defined parent folders.

Which video format?

MP4 or MKV? Either way, you get no warnings, trailers or menus to navigate, just the fun and enjoyment of instant play.

The MP4 is favoured by over 90% of our customer's thanks to smart video compression techniques delivering smaller file sizes with no real noticeable loss in visual quality.

  • Surround sound audio is uncompressed for a truly immersive experience.
  • We can also burn in full-time (always on) one of the subtitle options available on your disc(s).
  • Soft-subtitles (occasional foreign or alien speaking scenes) we burn in for automatic inclusion during playback.

MKV, similar to the mp4 is also a container format but with added adantages. Our process is lossless; a term used to describe the action of "no compression". If the film on your DVD is 4GB or 30GB on Blu-ray, then your MKV will be 4GB or 30GB respectively.

Our studio will create your MKV as a 1:1 clone of the film or episodes and capture all audio (DTS, TrueHD, Atmos & DTS-X), language and subtitles presented by your disc which can be selected manually and automatically by most media servers and devices. Our process excludes trailers, warnings and bonus footage.

Points to consider...

  • Not all devices natively play MKV, so it's worth checking first. That said, many media servers will transcode on the fly and instantly convert your title during playback for any device compatibility.
  • Transcoding on the fly can be an intensive process so you will need to check the power of your NAS or computer. The number of simultaneous multiple streams should also be factored in.
  • Files sizes are larger so you may need to consider your storage options. 100 DVD films transferred to mp4 may require just 175GB. The same 100 films in MKV could total 450GB.

Prices

All discs are returned.

  • Minimum order/spend: £29 (includes UK P&P).
  • Prices are charged per disc.
  • TV Show boxsets are charged per disc, not per episode.
  • Main feature/episodes only (extras/bonus discs if required are priced by special arrangement).

Are you a selective viewer longing to manage your own content?

While video on demand (VoD) providers play a popular role in satisfying our media consumption, your DIGIRAW ripping service is popular because…

Your hand-picked favourite films and TV shows are always available.

Specialist content collectors are rarely able to source from VoD providers.

Restrictions, such as DRM, prevent you playing purchased content on other branded devices.

It costs less to hire DIGIRAW to convert the titles you already own on disc, rather than repurchase them from a VoD seller.

VoD providers expire content you didn't get round to watching. Even more frustrating is losing the chance to finish a show.

Your physical collection is large enough to cut the cord, and you prefer to maintain your library as a selective viewer.

VoD sellers remove content without notice because of license changes or expiration.

The content you purchase in one country doesn't always play when visiting another due to licensing constraints.

Your internet service is slow, unreliable or unavailable for VoD services.

Bandwidth charges with an uncapped internet service can be costly.

Overzealous compression techniques adopted by VoD providers fail your required audio and video quality standards.

Multiple VoD services are proving costly and looking for something to watch is taking longer and longer.
