Top 1. Night Moves Blu-ray

Cinedigm | 2013 | 112 min | Rated R | Sep 02, 2014 (1 Day)

Storyline: 
  
NIGHT MOVES, the fifth feature film from acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, is the story of three radical environmentalists coming together to execute the most intense protest of their lives: the explosion of a hydroelectric dam-the very source and symbol of the energy-sucking, resource-devouring industrial culture they despise. Harmon is a former Marine, radicalized by tours of duty overseas. His life in the military is behind him, but at heart he remains the same reckless alpha male healways was, eager for adventure, excited by the prospect of mayhem and destruction. Dena is a high society dropout, sickened by the consumer economy into which she was born. She's moved west and cut ties with her family, edging ever deeper into radical politics. And Josh, their leader, is a self-made militant, devoted to the protection of the Earth by any means necessary. A son of the middle class who works on an organic farm, he's an intensely private person by nature and may have the deepest convictions of them all. NIGHT MOVES is a tale of suspense and a meditation on the consequences of political extremism. When do legitimate convictions truly demand illegal behaviors? What happens to a person's idealism when they find their back against the wall?

Storyline: 

The crime drama's third season takes on a darker and edgier tone, as it opens with the Machine missing and completely self-governed. Root (Amy Acker) has been confined to an insane asylum but is in constant contact with the Machine, while Finch (Michael Emerson) finds himself in a position where he's no longer the Machine's sole human contact. Meanwhile, Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Shaw (Sarah Shahi) continue their work preventing crimes from happening with the help of their usual NYPD contact, Det. Fusco (Kevin Chapman); and Carter (Taraji P. Henson), who has been demoted from detective to a uniformed police officer, wages a very personal war against the corrupt police organization HR. At the same time, new threats against Team Machine come to light, including Vigilance--a watchdog group committed to exposing overreaching government surveillance methods--and Decima Technologies, who tried and failed to take control of the Machine in the previous season and are now going to extreme measures to bring another surveillance system called Samaritan online.

Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to New Orleans, the city from which he and his siblings, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Rebekah (Claire Holt), were exiled a century ago. Drawn back by a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him, Klaus is surprised that the city still feels like home despite the decades he's been away. Curious as to why Klaus would return to the one place he swore he would never set foot again, Elijah follows his brother and learns that the beautiful and rebellious werewolf Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history. As Klaus vows to reclaim what was once his, he realizes that his unborn child could be the key to the Originals' return to power.

1. Let's Be Cops

UK Theatrical Release Date: August 27th 2014
Genre: Comedy, Crime
Starring :Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr,  Nina Dobrev
Director: Luke Greenfield

Sometimes it pays to be simple. Case in point? Let’s Be Cops, a buddy comedy that takes one neat idea – wouldn’t it be cool to act like a cop? – then knocks it out the park. Located a couple of doors down from 21 Jump Street, Luke Greenfield’s caper also recalls the infectious recklessness ofCatch Me If You Can and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, other films that hang on the notion of reinvention through deception. In New Girl actors Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr., meanwhile, it boasts an instantly winning double act that, at its best, recalls the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the Lethal Weapon series. 

2. Obvious Child

UK Theatrical Release Date: August 29th 2014
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Starring: Jenny Slate, Jake Lacy, Gaby Hoffmann
Director: Gillian Robespierre

In being brave, scrappy, and not quite as funny as it thinks it is, Gillian Robespierre’s controversial romcom mimics its heroine, a down-on-her-luck Brooklyn comedian (Jenny Slate) struggling to tell a straight-laced one-night stand that she’s become pregnant. We’re in Girls territory here, with awkward, confessional dark comedy that slyly mocks hipster self-absorption while indulging in it.

Its raw edges, grungy setting, and matter-of-fact tone about abortion mark it out from sunnier unplanned-preggo comedies like Juno or Knocked Up. Fizzing with neurosis and nervous gags, Jenny Slate’s winning odd-couple romance with a gawky Jake Lacy carries the movie over the odd comic misfire. 

3. Night Moves
 
UK Theatrical Release Date: August 29th 2014
Genre: Drama
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg,Dakota Fanning, Peter Sarsgaard
Director: Kelly Reichardt
 

   
Not to be confused with the classic 1975 Gene Hackman detective yarn of the same name, Night Moves is the latest from US indie filmmaker Kelly Reichardt. Just as her last effort, 2010’s Meek’s Cutoff, was nominally a western so this, superficially, is a thriller, focused on a trio of eco-terrorists who plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam in Oregon.

Making up this radical threesome: Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), an environmentalist disillusioned with working on a commune; spoilt little rich kid Dena (Dakota Fanning), who bankrolls their scheme, and older ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), an explosives expert with a cloudy past. 

Let’s go to cinema right now. Enjoy it and have fun!

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.

Here, you can simply connect WD TV Mini to your TV, plug a USB-connected storage into the player and you are ready to enjoy all your digital media in DVD for smothly playback. 

   
When we're eagerly awaiting the WD TV HD Media Player rumoured sequel, WD has launched an alternative that supposedly complements both its original and forthcoming players, called the WD TV Mini. As we know, the  WD TV can not support commercial DVDs, so you have to rip them. How to make it possible for you to watch commercial DVDs on your wide screen TV via WD TV Mini Media Player. What you will need is Pavtube DVDAid for Windows/ Mac, it not only rips, but it encodes too. Below is a step-by-step detailed operating steps:

Your selection should be in the range of AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG4), MPG/MPEG, VOB/ISO, MP4/MOV (MPEG4), RM or RMVB 8/9/10. Here I select “Commen Video - Xvid AVI - Audio Video Interleaved(Xvid)(*.avi)” as an example:
   

 
Step 4: Click “Settings” button to adjust video and audio parameters

The user manual tells us that when playback .avi (Xvid) video files, WD TV Mini need to choose the size as “1280*720”, so we need to follow the manual while ripping a DVD.

Convert TiVo Recordings to Mac H.264-compliant videos for iPad 3, iPod and Apple TV 3 playing

Summary:Here it shows some useful information on how to convert & transfer TiVo files to mac iTunes for Apple TV 3, new iPad 3, iPod streaming and playing with best HD video quality using a top TiVo Converter for Mac.

As the most advanced and innovative DVR (digital video recorder) ever built, the TiVo brings the best entertainment from cable and the web together in one place. That way we could record what we were already paying for and watch shows when I had the time to watch them. Yeah Tivo has a monthly fee but it's the principle of the thing! Besides, a new toy is cool and fun to play with. Our biggest problem with TiVo was working out how to get the shows from the TiVo box to our Apple TV 3, iPad 3, and iPods where we could watch them the way we wanted to.
 

 
As is well known, the standard application for moving recordings from the Tivo box to the Mac is Roxio Toast. It's what Tivo recommends and it's what Hollywood has blessed. The problem with Toast is that DRM Tivo attaches to all recorded shows doesn't allow any editing or transcoding of your recorded Tivo file. That's when I started looking around for another way. What I found that worked best was an application called Pavtube Video Converter, a top Mac TiVo Converter.
  
The program is a great little application that allows you to download your Tivo recordings to your Mac. And it packs perfect support for TiVo recordings as well as HD footages, Flash videos, General Video, QuickTime video(*.mov), etc. With the application, you can easily convert TiVo HD shows to Mac iTunes compatible formats without quality loss for smoothly streaming with Apple TV 3, iPad / iPad 2 / new iPad, iPhone 4S and other iOS devices.

Free Download the TiVo Converter for Mac

For Mac / For Windows

Convert/Transfer TiVo recordings to Mac iTunes for streaming to Apple TV 3, new iPad 3, iPod with original HD quality

Step 1: Launch the best TiVo Converter for Mac iTunes, Click on the "Option" button, switch to TiVo tab, and enter your Media Access Key. Click "OK" to confirm.
 

 
Step 2: Drag and drop the *.tivo files to the software.
 

 
Step 3: Click on the pull down menu of "Format" and then tap "Appele TV", the preset "Apple TV 3 1080P Dolby Digtal Pass-though(*.m4v)" is recommended to you. The profile is speically designed for Apple TV 3 with 1080p HD effect.
 

 
Some more helpful features of the app:

1. Settings- Click to set video resolution(1920×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate（from 2Mbps to 10Mbps）, frame rate for different needs. For example, you can set birate from the default "8Mbps" to "4Mbps" for new iPad 3. (Note:The file size is based more on bitrate than resolution. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss)

2. Editor (next to "Add" icon)- click to set deinterlace, denoise, mute, volume up, trim, crop, etc.

Step 4: Start the process by converting TiVo to Mac iTunes H.264-compliant MP4 for Apple TV 3, iPad and iPod.

Step 5: Import new .mp4 file into iTunes (drag .mp4 file to the iTunes icon on the dock)

PS: Transferring TiVo recordings to Mac is not that easy and straight-forward as to PC. The TiVo Desktop software for the Mac (supplied by TiVo) does not allow user to transfer TiVo recordings to Mac, here I take some help from the freeware TiVoDecode Manager which gives you some of the features for taking content from your TiVo, moves it over to your computer, and automatically adds it to iTunes. Although it does have support for conversion, the quality of the result videos is poor and converting speed is so slow yet the output for apple devices are terrible.

On Apple TV 3, I browsed the iTunes library for the movie and it played the converted TiVo shows smoothly. I found the quality to be excellent and see no difference when compared to playing the TiVo recordings themselves. Of course, the same result as on iPad 3 and iPod.

If you want to enjoy your HD Videos, Blu-ray movies , DVD discs and DVD (ISO) videos to your Apple TV 3, iPad and other Apple devices, you can also find the best solutions on Pavtube software, Now, you can get the biggest discount from Back to School special offer. Enjoy it!
