Private Film & TV Libraries for Inflight Entertainment
DIGIRAW prepares DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD collections for private aircraft, owner-managed media setups, Kodi-compatible systems, tablets, laptops, USB storage and approved onboard entertainment environments.
Inflight media libraries for private jet owners, pilots, aircraft managers, family offices and specialist private aviation projects.
Private Aircraft Media
Inflight entertainment does not always need to start with a major refit.
Private aircraft entertainment can become complicated quickly. Installing new electronics may involve aviation approval, testing, wiring, documentation and significant cost. Dedicated inflight entertainment upgrades can be expensive before the first film is even added.
For many private aircraft owners, the practical first step is a properly prepared media library that works with the equipment they already have, an approved onboard system, a Kodi-compatible aircraft setup, USB storage, tablets, laptops or a carefully managed portable local-network option.
DIGIRAW helps prepare private film and TV libraries from DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD disc collections, with organised files, sensible formats and delivery routes planned around the aircraft, owner team and playback environment.
Practical Inflight Access
A private library can be simpler than a full system upgrade.
Some aircraft already have suitable playback options. Others may benefit from owner-managed carry-on media setups, where the media library is prepared for local access rather than internet streaming.
Prepare films and shows for aircraft systems that already support USB storage or Kodi-style playback.
Create organised libraries for laptops, tablets, local media servers or portable onboard playback setups.
Reduce reliance on internet access, app logins and streaming availability while travelling.
Keep physical discs off the aircraft while carrying the prepared digital library onboard.
Who It Helps
For private jet owners, pilots, aircraft managers and family offices.
Inflight media projects are usually bespoke. The right answer depends on the aircraft, the existing equipment, the preferred playback route and how much support the owner team wants to manage internally.
Private Jet Owners
Create a private film and TV library that travels with the aircraft, without automatically committing to a costly entertainment system refit.
Pilots & Crew
Useful where the aircraft already has a practical playback route and the media library needs to be easy to access, update and explain.
Aircraft Managers
Plan content preparation, library updates, delivery routes, storage requirements and owner-specific preferences around the aircraft schedule.
Family Offices
Discreet support for private clients who want physical discs sourced, converted, organised and supplied with minimal friction.
Existing Kodi Systems
Some aircraft entertainment systems support Kodi-style media access from USB storage or onboard storage. We can prepare libraries with this in mind.
Owner-Managed Setups
For suitable private aircraft, we can prepare libraries for laptops, tablets, local-network playback and carry-on media options.
Owner-Managed Libraries
Portable media options for private aircraft.
For some private aircraft clients, DIGIRAW has supported portable, owner-managed media setups using a laptop, local WiFi router and Jellyfin-based library, allowing approved users to access a private onboard collection without relying on internet access.
Local Playback
Content can be prepared for local playback, local-network access or approved aircraft systems where internet streaming is not the preferred route.
Clear Boundaries
These are content and library preparation services, not aviation-certified installation or emergency inflight support packages.
Training & Handover
Where suitable, we can provide basic usage guidance so the owner team, pilot or nominated person understands how the library is accessed.
Curated Content
Disc sourcing, conversion and library updates.
Many private aviation projects are not just about converting a box of discs. Clients often want DIGIRAW to help source physical titles, prioritise 4K UHD where available, add new releases, include owner favourites and prepare content updates for an existing inflight setup.
Libraries can be built around practical viewing needs: films, boxsets, family favourites, children’s content, classics, new releases and long-haul viewing choices.
Once converted, the original discs can be retained securely off-aircraft while the prepared digital library travels with the owner, aircraft or nominated management contact.
MP4 or MKV
The right format depends on the aircraft system and playback route.
Every aircraft setup is different. We can advise on format choice based on playback equipment, storage, library software, screen requirements and whether the media is being used through USB, Kodi, tablets, laptops or an approved onboard system.
MP4 Conversion
Best for: universal playback, smaller file sizes and broad device compatibility.
MP4 is often useful where the priority is practical playback across tablets, laptops, computers, portable setups and many modern devices.
MKV Conversion
Best for: higher-quality private libraries, Kodi-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.
How It Works
A practical process for private inflight media libraries.
Inflight projects are planned around the aircraft, the existing playback route, the required content and the level of owner-managed responsibility.
Discuss The Setup
Tell us about the aircraft, existing entertainment system, playback devices, preferred formats, content needs and whether discs need to be sourced.
Plan The Library
We agree the conversion approach, folder structure, delivery method, content priorities and any update requirements.
Convert & Organise
Discs are converted, checked and prepared into a structured library suitable for the agreed playback route.
Deliver & Handover
Finished media can be supplied by USB storage or another agreed method, with usage guidance where appropriate.
Aviation Reality Check
Content preparation, not aircraft electronics certification.
Installing electronics into a private aircraft is not like adding a streaming box at home. Hardware, wiring and onboard systems may require approval, testing, documentation and sign-off.
DIGIRAW keeps the project focused on the media library itself: sourcing, converting, organising and supplying carefully prepared film and TV content for the agreed playback route.
We do not provide aviation-certified installation, aircraft wiring, onboard electronics approval or guaranteed inflight technical support unless agreed separately in writing.
Where a library is intended for an installed aircraft entertainment system, the aircraft owner, operator, aviation engineer, AV provider or nominated technical contact should confirm compatibility and approval requirements.
Specialist Libraries
Inflight entertainment sits within a wider private media service.
DIGIRAW also supports private film and TV libraries for homes, cinema rooms, yachts and specialist AV environments.
Films & Shows Conversion
The main DIGIRAW service for converting DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs into digital files for modern viewing.
Home Cinema Libraries
Private film and TV libraries for home cinemas, home theatres, cinema rooms, media rooms and whole-home entertainment systems.
Yacht Libraries
Private media libraries for yachts and superyachts, where offline access, discretion and AV compatibility are essential.

No. DIGIRAW prepares media libraries and can advise on practical playback routes where appropriate. We do not provide aviation-certified installation, aircraft wiring or onboard electronics approval.
Can this work without internet access?
Yes, depending on the chosen playback route. Many inflight media libraries are prepared specifically to reduce reliance on internet streaming, app logins and variable connectivity while travelling.
Can you prepare content for Kodi?
Yes. Some private aircraft systems support Kodi-style media access from USB storage or onboard storage. We can prepare files and folder structures with this type of use in mind.
Can you source discs as well as convert them?
Yes. Many private aviation projects involve curated disc sourcing as well as conversion. We can discuss new releases, 4K UHD priorities, classic films, boxsets, family favourites and owner preferences.
Should an inflight library use MP4 or MKV?
