You can share and watch media files from NAS on multiple computers, HDTV, iPad, PS3 or other protable devices as long as it's DLNA compliant.

To convert Blu-ray to NAS storing and streaming, just click on the dropdown menu of "Format", and then choose MKV, H.264 MP4 from Common Video profile list. If you want to keep 1080p resolution as source movie, you can choose HD Video > H.264 HD Video(*.mp4) or MKV HD Video(*.mkv) as output format.
STEP 3. Start converting Blu-ray to NAS
Press the "Convert" button to start ripping Blu-ray movies for NAS streaming. When the conversion finishes, click Open button to find the output files.

Additional Tips:
1. If you want to transfer Blu-ray to NAS retaining original quality and you have a lot of spare space, you can choose "directly copy". It will copy Blu-ray into M2TS.
2. If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. To save your storage space, you can compress your Blu-ray movies. Keep in mind the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice verse.
