Can PS4 Stream DVD ISO?
If I ripped a few dvd's that I own. Ripped these as DVD ISO's. Will the PS4 be able to stream these from a pc that is running universal media server? I know the PS3 could do this but curious if the PS4 will do the same. I know that PS4 will stream mp4, ect, but wasn't sure about DVD ISO's. Thanks

From above lists, we can see that PS4 lacks the ability to handle ISO files. To address this problem, you will need to download a third-party utility to perform the digtial format conversion for you. There are hardly any program can deal with ISO image files, fortunately, here comes Pavtube BDMagic for Windows/Mac (best Blu-ray Ripper Review), you can easily output PS4 media player app readable formats listed above. Have no idea how to set the best output playback settings for PS4, you can just use the program to directly output PS4 preset profile formats.
Apart from converting ISO for PS4 playback, the program also helps to beneficially convert ISO to compatible file formats for watching on Xbox One, Android, Amazon Fire TV, WD TV, etc.
