Turn Your Disc Collection Into a Private Digital Home Cinema Library
Your DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K discs deserve better than gathering dust on shelves. DIGIRAW converts physical film and TV collections into organised digital libraries for modern home cinema systems.
DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD conversion for Plex, Infuse, Apple TV, NVIDIA Shield, NAS storage, home theatres, cinema rooms and private media rooms.
Private Film & TV Libraries
A better way to enjoy the films and shows you already own.
A serious home cinema should feel effortless. But physical disc collections often become awkward over time. Cases take up space, discs get misplaced, players change, boxsets are inconvenient, and finding the right film can become more effort than it should be.
DIGIRAW helps home cinema owners, home theatre users, film collectors and private households turn their disc collections into modern digital libraries that are easier to browse, easier to store and easier to enjoy.
The result is a private, organised film and TV library that can sit beautifully inside your home entertainment setup, whether that is a cinema room, media room, private screening room or whole-home entertainment system.
Modern Viewing
Your collection, ready for the way people watch now.
Instead of searching shelves or swapping discs, your films and shows can be prepared for a modern interface with artwork, titles, seasons, collections and metadata.
Build a private streaming-style library from discs you already own.
Make films and boxsets easier to browse across your household.
Prepare your media for Plex, Infuse, Apple TV, Shield, NAS and other systems.
Keep control of your own collection rather than relying only on streaming services.
Who It Helps
Ideal for collectors, cinema rooms, media rooms and private households.
This service is designed for people who value their film and TV collection, but want it to feel more practical, polished and accessible in a modern home.
Home Cinema Owners
Perfect if you have invested in a media room, projector, surround sound system or dedicated viewing space and want your collection to match the experience.
Home Theatre Setups
For private screening rooms and home theatre spaces where the library should feel as polished as the sound, screen and seating.
Film Collectors
For serious DVD, Blu-ray and 4K collectors who want convenient access while keeping the security and pride of physical ownership.
Plex & NAS Users
Prepare your collection for home servers, NAS storage and media systems with clean file structures and sensible naming.
Apple TV & Shield Setups
Create files suitable for modern playback devices including Apple TV 4K, NVIDIA Shield and smart home entertainment systems.
Large Disc Collections
Useful for households with hundreds or thousands of discs who want a more elegant, searchable and future-ready way to access them.
MP4 or MKV
The right format depends on how you want to watch.
Every collection is different, so we do not force one single approach. We can advise on the best format based on your equipment, your storage, your quality expectations and your preferred media system.
MP4 Conversion
Best for: universal playback, smaller file sizes and wider device compatibility.
MP4 is a practical choice if you want films and shows that are easy to play on phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs and many modern devices.
MKV Conversion
Best for: higher-quality private libraries, Plex-style setups and more complete disc preservation.
MKV is often preferred when 1:1 visual quality, TrueHD surround sound, multiple subtitles and audio tracks, including language options from the original disc, are important.
Ownership Matters
Streaming is convenient. It does not have to replace ownership.
Films appear and disappear from platforms. Versions change. Subscription costs rise. Some titles are unavailable, edited, split across services or locked behind extra rental fees.
Streaming services can also become awkward when you travel, move between countries, share a household account or rely on a service that changes its access rules. With your own properly prepared library, suitable equipment and adequate connection speeds, remote playback can remain under your control.
A private home cinema library gives you more control. You decide what belongs in your collection, how it is organised, and how it is accessed inside or outside your home.
For many collectors, the best future is not physical or digital. It is both, the security of owning the original discs, combined with the convenience of a properly organised digital library.
How It Works
A careful process from physical collection to private digital library.
We help you plan the best route before work begins, especially for larger collections, home theatre projects or more advanced cinema room systems.
Tell Us About Your Setup
Let us know what discs you own, how many you have, and whether you use Plex, Infuse, Apple TV, Shield, NAS or another system.
Choose The Best Format
We help you decide whether MP4, MKV or a mixed approach makes most sense for quality, compatibility and storage.
We Convert & Organise
Your discs are converted, checked and prepared with practical file naming and folder structures for your chosen setup.
Receive Your Library
Your completed files can be supplied by USB storage or another agreed digital delivery method, with your original discs returned.
Careful Handling
Your original discs remain part of the collection.
Format-shifting your collection does not mean replacing the originals. Your physical discs remain an important part of your private library and are returned after the work is complete.
We handle disc collections carefully and organise the resulting files so they are useful in real life, not just dumped into a folder with random names.
For larger libraries, we can also discuss staged conversion, collection priorities, storage options and metadata preparation so the project stays manageable.
Specialist Libraries
Home cinema is only one part of private media preservation.
DIGIRAW also supports more specialist environments where organised, reliable access to film and TV collections matters.
Films & Shows Conversion
The main DIGIRAW service for converting DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs into digital files for modern viewing.
Yacht Libraries
Private media libraries for yachts and superyachts, where offline access, discretion and AV compatibility are essential.
Inflight Libraries
Curated and converted film and TV libraries for private aircraft and specialist travel entertainment systems.
Questions
Home cinema conversion FAQs
Can you convert DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs?
Yes. DIGIRAW works with DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD disc collections, depending on the condition of the discs and the type of output required.
Should I choose MP4 or MKV?
MP4 is usually best for universal playback and broad device compatibility. MKV is often better for higher-quality private libraries, especially where 1:1 visual quality, TrueHD surround sound, subtitles, multiple audio tracks and more complete disc preservation matter. We can advise before work begins.
Can the files work with Plex, Infuse, Emby, Jellyfin or Kodi?
Yes. Many clients use media servers and players such as Plex, Infuse, Emby, Jellyfin and Kodi, alongside Apple TV, NVIDIA Shield, NAS storage and other home cinema equipment. We can prepare files and folder structures with these types of libraries in mind.
Can you help organise a large collection?
Yes. For larger collections, we can discuss priorities, staged conversion, file naming, folder structure, metadata and artwork requirements.
Do I get my original discs back?
Yes. Your original discs are returned after the conversion work is complete, unless another arrangement is agreed in advance.
