Despite Apple’s iPad has dominated the tablet market since its first release, there still are many other excellent tablet computers springing up daily. One is called Kindle Fire HD, a brand-new Android tablet made by Amazon has become the strong rival to iPad, Galaxy Tab, etc since its first launch. Its 7-inch multi-point touch screen, 1280-by-800-pixel display resolution, 11 hours long battery life and at least 16 GB storage make it quite appealing for watching movies and TV shows.

For DVD lovers, transfering all your DVD movies to the Kindle Fire HD from the plastic will be a wise choice. Before you get to start, you have to know two things. One is how to copy the DVD movies from the disc, the other is how to make the DVD movie format compatible with the Kindle Fire HD. Calm down, all problems can be settled in this post.

Firstly, as we all know, Kindle Fire HD only supports H.264, MPEG-4 and VP8 video formats, so what you need to get is a third-part software which can copy the movie from DVD disc and convert the file to Kindle Fire HD supported video formats. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate | For Maccould complete the above conditions, respectively.

For a long time I have ripped my movies for home use and have been fighting through many different programs of swinging character and swinging prisms. Most functionally work for specific purposes or have the great advantage of being free, but no one can do all tasks as well. There are programs like Makemaker that makes MKV files of your DVDs but can not handle Blu-Ray, Pavtube iMedia Converter that manages Blu-Ray but not in lossless format or with multiple audio and subtitle or Handbrake that’s free but Which can not combine sections on a Series DVD / Blu-Ray and is quite slow.

For a long time I have also experimented with file formats and found that MKV is just becoming?the most useful format in all respects, so this guide focuses on an end result in MKV.

Additionally, I am tired of having to install different software to handle the different discs I would like to rip and should remember the different settings and procedures for each program.

I have chosen that ByteCopy from Pavtube should be my favorite tool as it has some obvious benefits when it comes to ripping. You can rip Blu-Ray and DVD on 2 methods. Either as lossless copy or as a converted encoded file with a less natural quality loss, but more importantly you can select multiple audio and subtitle tracks and you can encode them individually in the entire file to match your hardware setup as best as possible.?I personally rarely use lossless as it takes too much and would like my Blu-Ray into a 4-5 GB file for network playback for my ATV4.

Pavtube ByteCopy

So what can ByteCopy do? It looks like many of the other programs on the market when it rips and copies Blu-ray Disc and DVD movies to MKV. ByteCopy plays an irreplaceable role as the exclusive Blu-ray ripper that converts the main movie on Blu-ray, audio tracks and subtitles exactly as you want without compromising video and audio quality. When it encoder and diminish Blu-ray content, CUDA acceleration is turned on by default whenever possible and it gives a significant boost in speed.

Export file format: MKV
Video: H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1, MPEG pass-through; H.264, Xvid, MPEG, VC-1 encoded
Audio: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital, DTS-HD High-Def, DTS-HD MA Pass-through; Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, AAC, MP3 encoded.

Method 1

Step 1. Blu-ray rip in Lossless Mode, ie a rip of Blu-Ray main movie with all original video, audio and subtitle tracks without changing anything. For those who have a lot of disk space and who do not want to compromise on anything. Start ByteCopy and load your disk by clicking the DVD / Blu-Ray button. The movie is now loaded (copy protected or not) and the main movie is automatically selected, but everything can be selected. Useful if you have plenty of space.

Step 2. Click the converter button to start riping your Blu-Ray to MKV, with the main file, all audio and subtitle tracks. If you have finished ripping, you can click “Browse Export Path” to find the MKV file. TIP! You can change the output path under settings in the software. Then just wait

bytecopy conversion ui How to Rip Blu Ray in the Right Way?

Under lossless (default) mode, Pavtube ByteCopy will convert Blu-ray movies to MKV without changing anything. All it takes is to rip the main movie file from the disk and pack it in an MKV container. You get lossless quality with all subtitles and audio tracks, because original video, audio and subtitles are preserved. In addition, you also keep chapter marks.

Method 2

Certainly the method I use most. It shreds the disc with the subtitles and audio tracks you want, while compressing the file to a somewhat more handy size without compromising on quality compromises. I will show you how to do this, but you can change the different parameters for what suits you best. I rip my movies for a setup with an NAS that streams to a jailbreaked ATV4 with Firecore media player installed. This gives the smallest file the exact content I want.

Step 1. Load the file from ByteCopy. The main movie is automatically selected.

load dvd for lossless backup How to Rip Blu Ray in the Right Way?

Step 2. Select the title in the window and click edit disk. You can now choose which audio tracks and subtitles you want. TIP! You can set your selection by default in ByteCopy’s settings, so they are remembered each time. In addition, you can also select a specific player you want to rip to, so ByteCopy converts light and subtitles to file formats that are compatible with your player. I always use lossless and put my own choice of file types.

bytecopy select subtitles How to Rip Blu Ray in the Right Way?

Step 3. If it’s only a specific part you want to rip (for example, only main), go directly to the selected track and click Title Settings. Here you can choose to rip in Full HD, or as I do just below HD. At Full HD, I recommend bitrate of 8000, at HD you can reach 6000. Is it a DVD you rip, then choose 720×576 in Size and you can beat a bitrate of around 2000. Remember to tick the Enco if you Will change the resolution and bitrate.

Step 4. Next turn is the sound. I always start by clicking uncheck All, as I usually only want Danish and English audio. After checking the checkboxes you want, you can choose whether you want the Encode audio, or just keep it as it is in Source. I always keep it as ATV4?can handle DTSHD for a stereo TV speaker, but for some, it may be necessary to convert to a stereo track.

Step 5. Then we are on subtitles. Again Unchecl All and select the subtitle (s) you want. I always choose Danish only, but some may want others too. When done, click OK, and click the MKV button to begin.

Then the task is created and ByteCopy starts calculating time and size based on your choices and the power of your computer. As you can see in the screenshots below, ByteCopy is quite accurate in its calculations, and only diverges a very small amount. The time you see listed is on a 2012 13 “Macbook Air, and I think it’s quite good to be able to rip and compress / encode a Blu-Ray disc in less than 2 hours. Is it just a DVD, then we talk for half an hour.

ByteCopy is by far the best and fastest program I’ve tried. You can download a trial version from Pavtube, either ByteCopy for Windows or ByteCopy for Mac OS X. You can make 7 lossless rips with the trial and want to rip and encode to get a watermark on the movie. You can purchase the software for only $ 42 including unlimited lifetime upgrades. Enjoy.

One of the stronger selling point for the Kindle Fire Android tablets is that they can stream Amazon Instant Video. However, you will find when putting the Amazon video on other Android tablets, you will find the video files can’t be read correctly. So any solutions? Luckily, I found several ways to fix this issue, keep on reading.

put amazon instant video to android Any easy way to Stream and Play Purchased Amazon WMV Video on Android Tablets?

Update 12 September 2014: Good News is that Amazon has released a new version of their shopping app for Android. It now supports Prime Video, so there are now two ways to access Amazon instant video on your Android device.

The Official Way

This is pretty simple. All you need to do is download and install the two following apps (which I found via Android Police). Be sure to install the shopping app first:

Amazon Shopping

File name: com.amazon.mShop.android-5.0.0.apk

MD5: C99F86CAF39444F93E54C216C1CD7A4B

Amazon Instant Video

File name: com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient-1.0.apk

MD5: 50FAC68351E0A7AFD0E6AC0559C80505

Once you have the apps installed, log in to your Amazon account. Navigate through the menu on the left and find the Instant video option. Select it.

If you can stream video, great. If you cannot, or if the app crashes, you should try the unofficial solution.

The unOfficial Way

If you spend a little time installing and configuring a couple files, you can stream Amazon Instant Video on just about any of the newer Android tablets. This is a pretty simple trick which should be in the reach of most Android users. (If you can do the software maintenance on your PC then you can do this.)

Note: This trick won’t work on the Nook HD or HD+, but there is a possible alternate solution. Scroll down to troubleshooting section at the end of the post for more details.

Note: This trick has been demonstrated as not working on Android 4.4, at least according to one user who left a comment over on TeleRead (where I learned of this trick). If your Android device runs 4.4 Kitkat, scroll down to the bottom of the page for an alternate set of instructions. It’s also failed to work properly on some devices, so caveat emptor.

Note: This trick won’t work for accounts on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de. Those streaming video platforms don’t support Flash.

This trick has been documented as working on:

  • Nexus 7
  • Hisense Sero 7 Pro
  • Nexus 10
  • Galaxy Tab 10.1
  • T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2
  • Galaxy S3

What you’re going to do is install Adobe Flash and a web browser that includes the option of changing the user agent. Chrome won’t work for this (not for me, anyway).

Step One. The first thing you need is Dolphin Browser (or another web browser that lets you change the user agent). You can find it in Google Play.

Next, download the file attached to the first post in this XDA Forms discussion and install it:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139513

There are a number of ways to install the file. You can email the link to yourself and then open the email on your Android device and download it direct. You can copy the file over USB, or you can copy the file to and from Dropbox. It doesn’t matter how you get the file on your device, just install it. (This step won’t work on the Nook HD, so just skip it.)

Step Two. Once you have both Adobe Flash and Dolphin Browser installed, open Dolphin Browser and I’ll walk you through the steps needed to stream Amazon Instant Video.

  • Go to the Amazon Instant Video webpage. (Bookmark so it’s easy to find again.)
  • Log in to your Amazon account, and tell Dolphin to save the password.

Step Three. At this point your tablet is set up to stream video but Amazon won’t let you because they don’t support Android devices. Here’s how you get around that.

  • Press the dolphin icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen (see image one below).
  • Select the settings icon (see image two below).
  • Choose the customize option (see image three below).
  • Select the user agent option (see image four below).
  • Set the user agent to desktop, and then press the back button. (Don’t leave the settings menu)

Step Four. Now that you changed the user agent, it’s time to enable Flash support. Dolphin defaults to having Adobe Flash disabled, and you need to change this option in the settings menu.

  • Scroll down and select the Web Content option (see image six below).
  • Find the Flash option and select it (see image seven below).
  • Change it from off to either Always On or On Demand (see image eight below).

At this point you should be able to go back to the Amazon website, reload it, and start streaming videos. Or at least, I can do it. Here’s a screenshot from my Hisense Sero 7 Pro:

amazon video Any easy way to Stream and Play Purchased Amazon WMV Video on Android Tablets?

It works, yes, but not very well. My Sero 7 Pro has trouble keeping the audio and video in sync when I play SD resolution video (I won’t even try HD video). Let me tell you, this gives me greater appreciation for the work that Amazon put into the Kindle Fire HD.

But this still works immensely better than it did before. Out of sync audio is better than none at all, IMO.

Troubleshooting

Firefox – If the above instructions don’t work for you, there are reports that you can do a similar trick with the Firefox Android browser. I haven’t tried it, but I think it’s worth a shot.

Android 4.4 – If you are using an Android device which runs 4.4 KitKat, you’ll need to add a couple extra steps. The instructions above won’t quite work for you, so you should instead follow this set of instructions on XDA Forums.

Microsoft Silverlight – If you try to stream a video and get an error message which says something about MS Silverlight, zoom in on that message. Do you see how the next line mentions Flash? Click it.

Nook HD – The above instructions kinda sorta work on the Nook HD+; you just have to go through a different step to install Adobe Flash. (You could also hack the tablet and install CyanogenMod, but I am too lazy for that.)

Ignore the steps above which tell you to install Adobe Flash; they won’t work for you. Instead, here’s what you have to do:

  • Using your PC’s web browser, go to the B&N website and buy this free app: browser plugin.
  • Turn on your Nook HD, and open the app menu.
  • Find and install the browser plugin.

Okay, you just installed Adobe Flash, so now scroll up to the top of this post and follow the instructions for installing and configuring Dolphin Browser.

In case you are wondering, they worked for me:

Editor’s Note

There is the official way which is only intended for Android smartphones, and then there is the workaround(which works on almost everything but KitKat, and doesn’t work in Germany or the UK.) For the sake of giving you multiple options, this post offers both ways to access Amazon Instant Video. I would suggest that you try both and use the one which works better for you. But is there an easier and faster way? Yeah, of course!

A Direct Way

Since It’s well known that WMV videos, movies, TV shows, etc. purchased from Amazon Instant Video store are protected by DRM and can only play on specified media players like Windows Media Player, Amazon Unbox Player, Zune Digital Media Player, etc., all you need is to remove DRM from Amazon WMV files and convert them to Android tablets compatible MP4 files.

And to reach this goal, Pavtube ChewTune is your top choice as the best Amazon Video converter that can convert all unprotected DRM protected Amazon videos, iTunes m4v and Digital Copy to DRM-free MP4 for playing on Android tablets. With it, you can effortlessly make your Amazon WMV videos playable on Android in just a few mouse clicks.  Take a look at the reviews and read the tutorial to see how it works.

Both the Kindle Fire HD 7″ and 8.9″ model are definitely nicer for watching movies than the original Kindle. According to Amazon’s official parameters, the Jelly Bean tablets support but only videos in MP4, 3GP, VP8(.webm) formats. Moreover, just like other Android gadgets, the Kindle Fire HD doesn’t support for Blu-ray playback. So if your movie like the hot The Expendables 3 is still on a Blu-ray, you’ll need to do some in advance. I mean you need to convert Blu-ray’s to Kindle Fire HD playable videos first.

Tip:

If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, frame rate, resolution, etc that affect video quality and file size for the video you prefer. Keep in mind that the file size is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss. According to my experience, for watching videos on the Amazon Kindle tablets, 720p with 2000~2500kbps is just all right. If you’re not happy with the output quality, just adjust the bitrate as you like.
