Best practices with DVD movies?

I just got a Sony Blu-Ray for xmas and I am trying to figure out the best way to share my DVD movies. I've tried simply copying the DVD media to my PC, but I that hasn't worked well. When I look in the menus (folders, movies and titles), I just see entries for each VOB. Playing them treats them as separate items. The movie and title lists show the odd names for my home movies (such as "Die Hard", when I don't have "Die Hard").

Is there a way to tell Serviio that a folder is DVD data? Or is the best way to remux or transcode the movie into a single file container? Maybe something else?

At the moment Serviio doesn't support DVD folders or images, hopefully a feature coming soon.

I convert all my DVD backed up as mp4 h264/acc format single files. This I know plays very well on all my devices.

I rip my DVDs and Blu-rays as a single file with only the main feature. I'm not concerned with any of the extra features on the disk. For DVDs I use MPG, and for Blu-rays I seem to have the best success with MKV.

I can't help there. I am Windows based. I know there's 'nix users here, so someone can offer suggestions. Under Windows, I use MakeMKV for Blu-ray. Still experimenting wiht DVD ripping, but WinX DVD ripper works most of the time.
