How to digitize home DVD/BlueRay library for viewing on TV and Tablets

This article will outline the easiest way to digitize home Blu-ray/DVD library to external hard drive for watching on TV or other portable tablets. 

Q1: Hi All, I'm looking for the simplest way to make digital backups of my kids DVD's and then play them back on their TV. Navigation/finding of the movies is important since they are young.

Q2: Hey-Many thanks in advance! We need to digitize from commercial bluray discs....  Before you tell me that we're breaking copy-write law we're not using it for commercial use, it's for a non-broadcast sales tape and it's industry standard.   

Q3: I have a collection of about 300 DVDs and Blu-rays that I would like to rip and make digital copies of on a hard drive. I would then like to access these files and play them on Home theater pc and to stream to other tv's in the house over the network. I also want it to be used on both android and apple tablets.

Here is the equipment I would use to connect and watch:
1 Home theater PC
2 smart TVs
3 iphones
1 ipod
3 tablets

What I am not sure of is the easiest process to go through in order to get this done. I am open to all suggestions.
Now I'd love to share my experience with you guys the way I solve these issues. Googled bluray ripper reviews to look for the best tool to digitize home DVD/BlueRay library, I met Pavtube BDMagic . It is top-ranked in the review with reasonable price.

Well I haven't got the chance to try every profile, but it's really the best Blu-ray/DVD backup tool      I've met ever; I mean it's ease of use, not fuss and simple to follow. This best BDMagic can rolls off Blu-ray/DVD disc protection, supports loseless 1:1 Blu-ray backup and keeps all the disc titles and chapter structure perfectly.

Don't you like to have a try? 

They provide free trial (no time limitation) before purchase; and you can reach the Mac version here. 

How to digitize home DVD/BlueRay library with best video quality 

Step 1. Run Best BDMagic and import disc

Click this icon to load disc from ROM, IFO/ISO or folder. I also noticed if you have a ISO file to import, it will recognize the ISO file automatically with no need to run virtual driver and mount ISO files firstly. Good design. 


Step 2. Choose format. 

Click "Format" drop-down list and choose proper format for different using. 

For instance, if you simply want to back up Blu-ray/DVD to external hard drive, here are two solutions: 

1.Click the "computer" icon on the top to output 1:1 Blu-ray/DVD file exactly the same as original. 

2. Select "Copy>Directly Copy" in format list to output an intact m2ts file of the main title. 



For watching on Home theater PC, TV and other android and apple tablets, you can choose "Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4)" or "HD Video > AVI HD Video(*.avi)", it's well compatible with your TV and Tablets. 

 

Step 3. Change video specs. (Optional) 
If you are not satisfied with default specs, then click "Settings" to enter Profiles Settings windows. You can customize video frame rate, bitrate, size and other settings freely. 

(It does not work for directly copy) 

Step 4. Start conversion. 


Click the big red "Convert" to start backing up or converting your Blu-ray/DVDs. Usually backup will be quicker because it does not need to do trancoding. 

After the conversion, click "Open output folder" to quick locate converted files. Connect your hard drive to computer and transfer them into it. 

Pavtube BDMagic/ByteCopy works easily and at high efficiency. Digitizing home DVD/Blue-Ray library  is no long the complicated thing. Now take time to enjoy it.

Record and Play Amazon Instant Video (.wmv) on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition


If you have problems about playing Amazon Instant Video on your Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition, you can check out the tutorial to Remove DRM from Amazon WMV and record Amazon Instant Video (.wmv) to your Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
Ever since the arrival of the Nexus 10, it’s been hard recommending other, lower resolution 10-inch Android tablets. Given that Samsung made the aforementioned 10-inch Nexus, complete with 2560 x 1600 display, we wondered when a similar panel might grace Samsung’s own tablet lineup.

I have downloaded a couple of files from Amazon.com that I’d really like to put on a flash drive to give to a friend, who wants to put it on her Note 10.1 2014 Edition. How to make it?

As is known to everybody, the WMV videos purchased from Amazon store, including music, videos, movies, and TV show etc. are usually format type unsupported by the Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition.

 The problem is, those WMV videos you downloaded from Amazon are protected (by DRM), and can't be played on any Android/Windows tablet except for the Amazon Kindle Fire (HD). So if you would like to transfer Amazon WMV videos to Note 10.1 2014 Edition for playback, you have to remove DRM from Amazon Instant Video and convert/record it to Note 10.1 2014 Edition compatible formats.

To do it, Pavtube ChewTune (Vidpie)- a Amazon WMV to Note 10.1 2014 recorder can do great help! Actually, it is nearly able to unlock all the DRM videos as long as your video is authorized and it's able to playback on this computer. And the Mac version is ChewTune for Mac

* Legally strip DRM copy protection from iTunes, Digital Copy, Amazon, BBC iPlayer
* Record DRM media to iOS/Android/Windows 8 devices supported file type with subs
* Change DRM files to any regular format you want with expected quality
* Support files downloaded from iTunes, Amazon Video on Demand, Blockbuster, etc.
* Support batch conversion and auto-shutdown computer after conversion

Read before try

1. Make sure that your computer is authorized for source videos, that is to say you can play the Amazon WMV video using Windows Media Player.

2. During the installation your computer will pop up a Windows Security dialogue box saying "Windows can't verify the publisher of this drive software". Ignore it and choose "Install this driver software anyway" to continue installing Pavtube ChewTune.

 

3. At the end of installing, the setup wizard will install Audio Driver onto your computer automatically through windows command line. This will take a few minutes. Don't skip or abort, it is essential for running ChewTune correctly.

4. It would take as long as the source movie length for the whole Amazon Instant video to Note 10.1 2014 conversion process since Pavtube ChewTune records source DRM videos in 1:1 video and audio quality.

How to transfer Amazon DRM video to Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Step 1. Download Pavtube ChewTune as the Best DRM removal software.

There would be a command window pop up during the installation to install specific soundcard drive for DRM Removal, pls do not shut down it and let it running until the installation completed.

Step 2. Add video and choose target format.

Drag and drop your videos to it directly, or you can click icon to import them as below.

 

Let's click the drop-down-list besides "Format" and choose " Samsung -> Samsung Galaxy Note(*.mp4)" as the best video format for Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition.

 

Step 3. Customize target video specs. (Optional)

Click "Settings" to enter Profile Settings window, you can find settings for video size, codec, bitrate and frame rate. Change them according to your own needs.

 

Step 4. Start conversion.

Now click the big red icon to start converting DRM videos to Note 10.1 2014 Edition in batch; this converter will activate your media player automatically and start to play this video (let's keep it running). The player windows cannot be removed or closed.

In the meanwhile, it will start to record this video in MP4 real-time. The conversion time is equal to the video length itself; you can do other tasks during the converting the process.

Note: the system volume could be turn off temporally during this period; but no worries and do not touch it to get perfect DRM removed video.

After the conversion, click "Open output folder" to quick locate the converted video.




Tips:

1. The DRM removing process may mislead your anti-virus software to falsely report virus/worm. Please ignore the report to keep on ripping.

2. This product cannot convert unplayable video (damaged, unauthorized, etc).

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.

Get movies off of your Blu-ray discs onto Amazon Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD

This tutorial shows you an easy way to get your movies off of your Blu-ray discs onto your Amazon Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD tablet for playback with ease.
Kindle Fire makes it easy to keep favorite photos and personal videos close at hand. Download your albums from Facebook, or add photos and personal videos (up to 20 minutes long) to Amazon Cloud Drive from your PC, Mac, or phone.  You may use your Kindle for playing a song, watching a TV show, and reading a book on the 7" or 8.9" screen.




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. Whereas, due to format restrictions and copy protections, you will find it’s impossible to get Blu-ray movies to Kindle directly. Well, in fact it’s not hard work at all if you get help from a 3rd-party Blu-ray ripping tool.

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.
Get movies off of your Blu-ray discs onto Amazon Kindle Fire HDX or Kindle Fire HD


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


You can get optimized videos for Kindle Fire HD (X) under Format > Android > Amazon Kindle Fire HD H.264(*.mp4). The output videos could fit on your device perfectly.  

 

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.
