Hi

About 15 years ago I spent weeks transferring family VHS tapes to DVD. We now find ourselves without a DVD player and no way to access them. I know the easiest way would be to just buy a cheap DVD player, but I'm looking for a solution where I could extract the video files from the (many) DVDs we have in a format that I could stream them to the TV (ideally from my phone). I use VLC to stream from my phone, but its been a bit hit and miss over the past few months, where some file types play with no issue, but others just give me audio with no video/video with no audio.

Can anybody recommend some software (preferably free or with a free trial so that I can see if it works first) and recommendations for a file type that is most likely to be cast from VLC (or a better alternative)

Thanks
