Guide to get movies from iTunes library onto Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD

With this awesome guide, you can legally free iTunes videos from DRM protection and get your iTunes movie library ready for Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD for playing with high quality.

Tired of giving the same old boring gifts for Valentine’s Day? Amazon is helping out by marking down its Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets for a limited time. The HDX 8.9 is big enough to be considered a large-display tablet, at 374 g with an 8.9-in display, it strikes a terrific balance between screen size and weight.The 7-inch version is duking it out with Google’s Nexus 7 and Apple’s iPad Mini. No matter which model you have, you will have definitely excellent experience on watching movies with them.

Consequently, you may want to transfer iTunes movies to Kindle taking advantage of the 7-inch and 8.9-inch screen. Since the Kindle Fire HDX has the same display with Kindle Fire HD, I've put together a quick guide for moving iTunes video to the Kindle Fire HDX/Kindle Fire HD.

You can't play iTunes movies on Kindle due to the DRM protection. In order to enable iTunes videos on Kindle Fire HD(X), you need remove DRM protection from iTunes movies in advance.

Tips and preparations:

1. Make sure that your computer is authorized by source iTunes videos, that is to say you can play the source iTunes movies in iTunes without trouble.
2. Allow the audio driver installed during the Pavtube ChewTune installation.



3. Close iTunes before running the Pavtube DRM Removal Converter when converting iTunes M4V movies.


How to enable iTunes video/music DRM-free for Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD?

Step 1: Install the DRM Removal program – Pavtube ChewTune.

(Money-saving Tips:)


ChewTune ($29) + Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate($65) = Only $75, Save $19
ChewTune for Mac($29) + iMedia Converter for Mac($65) = Only $75, Save $19
ChewTune($29) + ByteCopy($42) = Only $54, Save $17
ChewTune for Mac($29) + ByteCopy for Mac($42) = Only $54, Save $17

The best program I can recommend for transferring iTunes movie to Kindle Fire HD(X) is Pavtube ChewTune, which is developed as a professional DRM Removal tool and DRM Video Recorder to help users legally strip off DRM protection from iTunes M4V movies, Amazon Instant Videos and Digital Copy so that you are able to watch almost all DRM movies on multiple smartphones and tablets anywhere you like.

Step 2: Start the Top DRM removal software, hit the "Add video" button and browser the source iTunes videos location for loading.

Note: If you are running a trial version of Pavtube DRM Removal Tool, make sure you have turned off iTunes before running this app to ensure its stability.


Step 3. From the "Format" drop-down list, choose suitable profile for Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD. Here I suggest you choose "Android -> Amazon Kindle Fire(*.mp4)" as output format.



Optional - If you like, you could adjust profile settings including video codec, bitrate, frame rate, etc to get better video and audio quality for watching iTunes movies on Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD.


Step 4. Hit the "Convert" button to start recording iTunes movies. After it finishes, click the "Open" icon to locate the recorded iTunes movie, and you are ready to transfer it to your Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD, it's very easy.



Tip 1: Because of 1:1 video recording, it takes as long as the source movie length to finish the whole ChewTune DRM-free process, so if your source iTunes movies is about 1 hour, ChewTune needs more than 1 hour to complete the iTunes to Kindle recording. So if you wanna get a test before fully purchasing, it's better to select a small sample video for testing.

Tip 2: Since Pavtube ChewTune supports batch processing facility, you could import more than one DRM videos and run overnight, and you would get all videos recorded the next morning. Don't forget to set up Windows power options to never turn off monitor or never let the computer system standby.

Now you can sync and play iTunes videos on Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD without DRM restriction.

Both Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD are great for watching movies. But in this article, I will share the way to play Blu-ray movies on Kindle Fire HD (X).

Kindle displays images and videos as the photographer or videographer intended, if you have collected some Blu-rays and wanna transfer the Blu-ray files to Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD for playback on the go.

The app I’m using is Pavtube BDMagic. Applying it, I can easily effortlessly make your DVD videos playable on Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD in just a few mouse clicks by fast ripping Blu-ray to a common video like MP4 for Fire HD (X) tablet. And I found the picture quality is excellent. So, this BDMagic for Kindle is an ideal tool for you. The equivalent Mac version is the  BDMagic for Mac.

Now just download it and follow the guide below to transfer DVD movies to your Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD Tablet.

Blu-ray to Kindle Fire HDX & Kindle Fire HD conversion process

Step 1. Download and run Pavtube Kindle  BDMagic  or  BDMagic  for Mac

load your Blu-ray movies into it.

Step 2. Select output for Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD.

Step 3. You can Click on “Settings” to adjust bitrate, frame rate, video codec, sample rate and more to get you wanted video quality. If you are satisfactory with the settings of this profile, just keep the default.

 

Step 4. Press the big ”Convert” button to begin the conversion.

Most Blu-ray movies have high quality, to ensure the quality lossless. The process will take some time. After the conversion completed, transfer the result video to Kindle Fire HD (X).  

Now, you are able to watch Blu-ray movies on Microsoft Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD anytime and anywhere.

You can also get the All-in-one Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate tool to encode Blu-ray and various formats of 1080p/720p HD videos to your Kindle Fire HD (X) for watching.

In this article I will share the process of ripping Blu-ray/DVD movies to play on iPad, Surface, Android, PC and Xbox 360, meanwhile you can also learn an easy way to remove DRM protection from Amazon, iTunes and Google Play videos.
The reason I write this guide is I was in the same dilemma few months ago before I find Pavtube BDMagic for Mac– rip BD/DVD for playing on portable devices on Mac (Mac Mavericks 10.9 included), and ChewTune for Mac – the best Mac DRM removal and record tool I ever used.



Part I: First of all, let’s talk about the way ripping Blu-ray and DVD movies to PC, Xbox 360 and portable tablet like iPad, Surface, Android for playback on Mac.

After I searched widely and I got some tech support for converting Blu-ray and DVD movies to Android/Apple/Windows device video on Mac 10.9 Mavericks & Mountain Lion without losing quality in a simplest way, I find more than one people suggest to rip Blu-ray/DVD to MP4 format which is the most compatible format for portable devices on Mac with BDMagic for Mac.

Top Blu-ray Ripper for Mac Review: Rip Blu-ray Movie on Your Mac


Users Reviews:

We are a modern normally family with different devices. I had the Mac Version which worked really well for me. I have lots of Blu-ray, DVD and other legally bought films which I want to play over my home network on tablet devices. Between us my family and I have iPads, Surface, Android, PC's and Xbox's so disk format, particularly with copy protection means they would normally be useless and if I had not brought Pavtube product to the market. I would not have purchased the DVD's and Blu-Rays. With Pavtube BDMagic for Mac, I can freely enjoy 2D/3D Blu-ray/DVD on my portable devices with ease. So ironically Pavtube actually help the movies studios sell more as without its solution I would not buy their films.

Below is how I rip my Blu-ray and DVD movies to MP4.

Now just download it and follow the tutorial below.

1. Click the top left icon to import Blu-ray/DVD discs correspondingly.
 

Click the drop-down list on the bottom; choose proper presets according to your device model. You can see columns for normal devices.

Basically the “Common Video -> H.264 Video (*.mp4)” is a universal format for your tablets and smartphones or NAS devices.

Or depends on your device, you can choose a suitable video format from “Android” or "iPad" or "Windows" catalogue, or you can use the small search box to locate your device quickly.





2. Check the pencil-like icon to activate the editing function. Here you can trim video for your needed length, crop video to get rid of annoying black edges, join multiple video clips into one, add text/image watermark and add subtitles.

For example, if the original Blu-ray/DVD movie has no subtitle or the subtitles you need, you can download it from website and then add it into the output videos for full enjoyment with this software.

Notice the small triangles under the progress bar? Click them to adjust frame by frame easily.



3. If you want to output video in specific size, bitrate or frame rate, click “Settings” (which is marked as “3″) and change the digits as you need. Pls notes that the video quality improved with the bitrate, but not the higher the better. You need to consider your device configuration as the high bitrate required higher read&write speed.

4. Ok now click the “Convert” button to start converting/copying Blu-ray/DVD to iPad, Surface, Android, PC and Xbox 360 for playing or streaming. After conversion, click “Open” to locate the converted video directly.

The Windows version is Pavtube BDMagic, it’s also on 30% off to thanks for your great support;

Part II. As iTunes, Amazon or Google Play videos are no good due to the DRM protection which will lock you for playback directly, so I'm considering about how to remove the DRM protection from these videos to unprotected mp4 files so as to play on my device easily.

I use Pavtube ChewTune for Mac, perfect tool to legally remove DRM protection from purchased iTunes movies, Amazon Instant Videos, and digital copies.

Three simple steps for recording and converting DRM videos to portable devices

1. Import a single DRM video or a folder to free downloaded Pavtube DRM removal.

2. choose optimized output formats. I can find at least one profile for every smartphone or tablet I have.



What about your device not listed? Don’t worry, choose similar device and change presets to suit the needs of your device, which can be easily handled.

2. Last but not least, hit the “Convert” icon to start DRM removing process.

It would take as long as the source movie length for the whole DRM removing conversion  process since Pavtube ChewTune for Mac records source DRM videos in 1:1 video and audio quality. I would prefer to start converting my DRM videos before bedtime, so it could run overnight and the conversion would be successfully complete when I get up, which it would not interface my spare time.

More info for converting DRM protected videos:

Make sure that your computer is authorized for source videos, that is to say you can play the source iTunes movies in iTunes, play Amazon and digital copy using Windows Media Player.
Allow the audio driver installed during the Pavtube ChewTune for Mac installation.



Good News! Pavtube Studio is offering money saving bundles for ChewTune for Mac. With either bundle package, not only can you save money, you will get the most powerful combination from Pavtube to handle Blu-rays, DVDs, regular videos as well as DRM protected videos files.
