I’ve also used handbrake, but not with wonderfox.
There’s some other free program that I found out about on the PLEX user forum. Basically you pop the DVD into the PC, run the handbrake and it writes out an MP4 file that you acn store on the hard drive.
The Plex media server then serves it up for viewing on the PC, or smart phone, or TV in a menu system like Netflix.

I use Plex via my Roku. I have a Lenovo EZ Media and Backup Drive that I store all my programs/movies on, and I can watch them from the TV with the Roku. I use Wondershare Video Converter, which I believe I paid $40 for, for a lifetime license. I can convert to many different formats, and can hard-code English subtitles to any program/movie. This is great for an old fart like me, especially since I watch a lot of British programming, and sometimes they are very hard to understand. The subtitles come in handy. If the subs aren’t already with the file, I can usually find them on one of the subtitle sites online. Plex plays several different formats as well: avi, mp4, mkv, m4v, etc. My oldest son is the technical person in the family, and he set it all up for me a few years ago.
