I am new to this media conversion stuff and have got a WD TV and WD My Cloud. I need to know how best to convert my DVDs onto this NAS in the best quality format so I can put the DVDs into storage. I have had a look around the web, but there just seem to be to many options, what’s the best – can anyone help? Thanks!
What is WD My Cloud?
WD My Cloud is a fast, easy-to-use NAS server for your home that includes an excellent personal cloud function. It has a USB 3.0 port for storage extension or backing up data.
Although WD My Cloud can support a wide range of format like MP4, MOV, AV, due to the reason of lacking BD/DVD drive, WD My Cloud can not meet the demands of put BD/DVD discs online. To achieve this goal, an easy-to-use BD/DVD Converter is the key.
Pavtube ByteCopy is such a wise choice for you to solve the problem. (Read reasons to choose it) It integrates a best Blu-ray ripper and a DVD ripper together for you to rip Blu-ray discs, standard DVDs to all kinds of video and audio file types as you need.

The second way: Store DVDs to WD My Cloud with the whole content kept
As we mentioned in the beginning, this program lets you backup the whole DVD content, this is the second way we will show you now.
For Step 1, just do as the the first way.
For Step 2,click the forth icon – “Copy the entire disc” on the top of the software. Then you will backup your movie with the original structure.
Or you can try the unique function in this program – outputting “Multi-track Video”, which you can watch the output MKV movie with different language if you need, keeping the original quality and movie structure.
The third way: Backup DVDs to WD My Cloud with the main movie only
The third way that is different from “Copy the entire disc” is “Directly Copy”. This way, unfortunately, can only copy the main movie of the DVD with the chapters information missing but smaller file size.
For Step 1, just do as the first way.
For Step 2, you should choose “Copy” > “Directly Copy” in the “Format” bar.
For Step 3, do as the first way.
