What if you'd like to enjoy your favorite DVD movies when on the road? Bringing several discs along tend to be inconvenient, not to mention they jump on the most crucial scenes and are prone to scratches. Now that Android-based devices have rocked into the mainstream, there's an easy way taking DVD movies alongside, i.e., ripping DVD and putting movies onto your Android tablet or phone. The process is easier than you may think, here I would throw this quick tutorial up on how to backup and rip DVD to Android compatible video formats.
Requirements:
Don't get too excited on how to sync DVDs to your Android device just yet. Before anything else, you have to download two apps that you are going to use later. You are required to download and install:
Pavtube DVDAid (available for Windows or for Mac users). Get the free trial of Windows version here, and the free trial of Mac version here.
Instructions:
First, the most import piece of the equation is that you have a DVD Ripping tool hooked to your PC or Mac which helps you convert DVD to Android Tablet/Phone compatible video formats. Most of Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs, however, it cannot yet decrypt the Disney DVD protection the way it can with regular DVDs, so you'll need to add an intermediate step. The software you'll need is called Pavtube DVDAid.
Basically the DVD to Android Converter is easy to use for editing and conversion and make great quality copies of my DVDs. I've had success using the program to crack and convert my DVD discs to a format playable by Asus Transformer Prime and Samsung Galaxy S3. I've found the quality to be excellent, and see no difference when compared to playing the discs themselves. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. The time it takes to convert in this software is almost half that in other.
Converter supports almost all Android-based multimedia devices, so you should be able to create files compatible with your Asus Transformer Prime, Nook Tablets, Kindle Fire, Motorola Xoom, Galaxy S3, Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Acer Icnoia Tablets, HTC One X and more. You can even find optimized profiles for iPad (iPad, iPad 2, the new iPad), PlayBook, HP TouchPad, Apple TV and Sony PS Vita.
