Create your own private streaming library.

DIGIRAW prepares the discs you already own, and can also help source selected titles for larger libraries into a clean, structured digital collection, ready to browse, search and play across your chosen media system.

Streaming is convenient, but ownership still matters. Films disappear, subscriptions multiply, specialist titles can be difficult to find, and compressed online versions rarely show what a good home cinema system can really do.

2012 Trusted since 2012 by households, private clients and AV professionals looking for careful disc-to-digital library preparation.

Why ownership still matters.

Streaming is useful, but it is not the same as controlling your own collection.

Collectors need access.

Many classic films, specialist releases, foreign titles, boxsets and hard-to-find editions are unavailable on mainstream streaming services, or appear and disappear without warning.

Quality still counts.

Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs can deliver far higher visual and audio quality than compressed online versions, especially in serious home cinema environments.

Your library stays yours.

A properly prepared digital library keeps your chosen films and shows accessible through your own media system, without relying on subscription availability.

How our service works.

Simple for small orders, structured for serious private libraries.

Send your discs.

Send your DVD, Blu-ray or 4K UHD discs to DIGIRAW, or speak to us first if you are planning a larger collection.

Each title is converted into your chosen format, named clearly, structured properly and prepared for media-server recognition.

Preserving quality where it matters.

From DVD favourites to 4K UHD home cinema titles, the format is chosen around how you want to watch and preserve your collection.

Video quality.

Where supported by the source disc and your chosen playback setup, we preserve the quality that makes physical media valuable.

  • DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD supported
  • Full HD and 4K resolution where present
  • HDR and Dolby Vision retained where supported
  • No unnecessary recompression for lossless MKV

Audio and subtitles.

Serious collections often need more than a basic stereo file. We pay attention to audio, language and subtitle options.

  • Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X where present
  • DTS-HD Master Audio and surround sound support
  • Subtitle options retained where supported
  • Forced subtitles handled carefully where possible

Library-ready from day one.

The difference between a pile of video files and a proper media library is structure.

Films named correctly.

Film titles are prepared using clean, standard naming so your media server has the best chance of identifying them correctly.

  • Film Title (Year)
  • Clear folder structure
  • Poster artwork recognition support
  • Metadata matching support through common media databases

TV shows structured properly.

TV boxsets are organised by season and episode to support clean indexing across compatible media systems.

  • Show Name
  • Season folders
  • S01E01 episode naming
  • Ready for Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Kodi and Infuse workflows

Looking for a DVD or Blu-ray ripping service?

Some people still search for this as a DVD ripping service, Blu-ray ripping service, 4K UHD ripping service or disc-to-digital ripping service.

At DIGIRAW, we prefer to describe it more accurately as disc-to-digital library preparation, because the real value is not just conversion, it is the way your films and shows are named, structured and prepared for modern playback.

Whether you need MP4 files for flexible viewing, lossless MKV files for preservation, or a complete library prepared for Plex, Infuse, Emby, Jellyfin or Kodi, the service is built around how you want to watch.

Frequently asked questions.

Useful answers before sending your DVD, Blu-ray or 4K UHD collection to DIGIRAW.

What is the difference between MP4 and MKV?

MP4 is ideal for flexible everyday playback, smaller file sizes and easy streaming across common devices. Our MP4 files are carefully prepared to remove unnecessary data you do not normally see, while still delivering excellent visible quality for most screens and viewing rooms.

MKV is best when you want preservation. It retains the original video, audio and subtitle tracks where supported by the disc, with no recompression.

Is this a DVD ripping service?

Yes, but we describe it more accurately as disc-to-digital library preparation. DIGIRAW converts DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs into digital MP4 or MKV files, then prepares them with clear naming and structure for modern playback.

Can you convert Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs?

Yes. We convert DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs. Blu-ray can be converted to HD where supported by the source disc, and 4K UHD can be preserved in 4K where supported by the disc and your playback setup.

Are special features and extras included?

Not as standard. Our normal service covers the main feature film or TV show episodes.

Bonus material, special features and extras can be converted by special arrangement. Let us know which titles matter to you and we can check them during the audit. Extra material is often time-consuming to identify and process, so it can increase both price and lead time.

Do I get my original discs back?

Yes. Original discs are returned as standard after conversion.

Can I sell or dispose of my discs once converted?

No. The digital files are prepared for your own private use from discs you own. If you sell, give away or dispose of the original discs, you should also delete the digital copies.

The files must not be sold, uploaded to public websites, shared publicly, or used for piracy. DIGIRAW’s service is about helping you enjoy your own private collection in a modern way.

Can you prepare files for Plex, Infuse, Emby, Jellyfin or Kodi?

Yes. Files can be named and structured for media-server recognition across common systems including Plex, Infuse, Emby, Jellyfin and Kodi.

How will I receive my files?

Files can be supplied by USB storage drive or secure cloud download, depending on the size and nature of the order. Cloud download is suitable for many orders, but very large libraries are usually better supplied on a USB hard drive.

USB drives are normally formatted as exFAT for both Mac and Windows compatibility. NTFS can be used by request for Windows-only use. FAT32 is not suitable because of its 4GB file size limit.

Do you keep a backup of my files?

We hold completed digital files for 30 days after delivery. After that, files will be removed from our systems, so we strongly recommend keeping your own backup.

How long will my order take?

Small orders are usually completed quickly, often within a few working days once received. Larger collections depend on disc count, format choice, current workload and any special instructions.

For large private libraries, we will give a clearer lead time after reviewing the order details.

Do you offer collection and return?

For larger orders over £1,000, collection and return may be available within the South West or within roughly 100 miles of DIGIRAW. Please contact us first so we can confirm what is practical.

Can I drop off and collect in person?

Yes, by appointment. We are always happy to arrange a suitable time for local drop-off or collection where practical.

How do I pay?

Payment is usually handled by invoice. You do not need a PayPal account to pay a PayPal invoice by card. Bank transfer is also available.

For larger or specialist orders, payment details will be confirmed before work begins.

Is your service region-specific?

No. DVD regions such as 1, 2 and 3, and Blu-ray regions A, B and C, can normally be handled. 4K UHD discs are generally not region-specific.

What if my discs are dirty or scratched?

We check discs before conversion and clean them where needed. Light scratches can often be handled, but badly damaged discs may not always be recoverable.

If an order needs unusually heavy cleaning or preparation, we will let you know before adding any extra charge.

Do you serve customers outside the UK?

Yes. DIGIRAW has helped customers internationally, although shipping costs, customs arrangements and return logistics need to be considered before sending discs from outside the UK.

Can I include home video DVDs?

Yes. Home-recorded DVDs, camcorder discs, weddings and family recordings can be included. DIGIRAW also has a dedicated Home Videos service for customers whose order is mainly family memories.

What is your policy on adult titles?

Commercially classified titles for private personal use can be handled. Personal recordings, illegal material or unclassified “under the counter” content will not be accepted.

Ready to organise your collection properly?

Start with a small order, or speak to DIGIRAW about a larger private film and TV library. All original discs are safely returned after conversion.
