Play M4V on Android Tablet with M4V Player or M4V Converter


This article gives you two ways to play M4V on Android OS-based tablet with the best visual and audio effect: M4V Player for Android and M4V Converter for Android.

Nowadays, with the development of android, more and more people are using Android phone or tablet. But these devices aren't compatible with many format videos such as M4V. M4V is a format that created by Apple and protected by DRM. Due to the protection, this file format is not compatible with Android system. When I surf on the Internet, I have found that many people asked many problems about playing M4V files; here is one of the questions lifted on Android Forums:

"I am searching for a video player app that can play m4v files. I am an apple product fan and use an iPhone for this currently and have wanted to switch over to android. But as far as I can tell there are no video player apps that do this. Dose anyone know of an app that can do this?"

Many people reply to the thread, and according to these replies, I sort out two ways for you to solve the problem.
The First Way: M4V Player for Android 

One person recommended the MX Player. He said that the MX video player can play everything. I Google it and find MX Video Player is a free app for Android device that allows you to play videos on your phone.

This app enables you to play most video files and subtitle files with multi-core decoding capability. MX Video Player is the first Android video player performs multi-core decoding. It supports multiple movie files like 3GP, Divx, F4V, MP4, MPEG, MOV, M4V(have removed DRM protection) and VOB.

The Second Way: M4V Converter for Android
  
The second way is convert M4V to Android tablet supported format. If you want to play M4V format videos on Android tablets and avoid some unnecessary troubles, the M4V to Android tablet converter can aim your goal. It can meet all your needs with its powerful function; it can convert all videos like AVI, MKV, MP4, WMV, MOV, M4V. Let's begin with the detailed introduction about converting M4V files to Android OS-based tablet supported format.


First, free download Pavtube M4V to Android tablet converter and install in your computer. It only take up a little space in your computer.

Then, add the M4V files or videos in the M4V to android converter. Do this by clicking the "Add File" icon.

compress-1080p-to-720p-for-android

The following, this is an important step that you need choose a right output format. It is the key to solve playback problem, you can choose MP4, it is the best compatible format for Android.


In the "Edit" you can edit your videos by trimming, cropping, adding Watermarket and subtitle.

The last step is clicking the convert button to start this conversion. Then a little time later, you can copy to Android devices for playback.

Note: The precondition of these two ways of playing M4V video is that you've removed the DRM protection of iTunes videos. If you want to convert the M4V videos protected by DRM, ChewTune (Review) is such a DRM removal tool legally strips DRM copy protection from Digital Copy, WMV, and M4V.


If you are interested in this M4V to Android tablet convert, you can have a try.

Add Blu-ray/DVD to iTunes 11 with multi-tracks for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod on Mac

Want to add your Blu-ray/DVD contents in iTunes Library 11? Or want to put your Blu-ray/DVD contents to your Apple devices through iTunes 11? In this article, you can find the easy way to do this.

iTunes, a name closely contact with Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. When first use Apple device, most people may not familiar with how to put music and videos to the device. The key is iTunes. So, first let’s know something about it.

What is iTunes?

iTunes is not only a media player app to play audios and videos, but also a media library to download and manage digital music and videos on PC, as well as on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It is a bridge to transfer sources between PC and Apple devices. The latest version of iTunes is iTunes 11 which has “dramatically simplified new interface” and better “iCloud features”

The OS that supported iTunes
  • Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion, Snow Leopard10.6, Leopard 10.5
  • Windows OS: (Windows 32 bit or Windows 64 bit) Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

Then, let’s know how to enable iTunes play the role of transmitter. Most of you are not about to pay iTunes’ ridiculous prices to watch movies and TV shows you already own on Blu-ray. As we know, videos upon Blu-ray disc have been in high definition format, many are usually in .m2ts file extension that is not based on apple iTunes, while iTunes could only recognize video files in MP4, MOV, M4V that you can’t play Blu-ray on iTunes directly and even not to speak of keeping multi-tracks. Good news now what you need is only a professional Blu-ray ripper that can help you convert Blu-ray movies to iTunes supported MP4 format with multi-track.

To transfer Blu-ray contents to iTunes 11 library, the best program I can recommend is Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac(Windows version: ByteCopy), which you can use to remove the strict Blu-ray protection and region restrictions and Blu-ray/DVD contents to iTunes video very quickly with great video quality. It’s an ideal app for you to copy Blu-ray/DVD to iTunes 11 library and any Apple devices.

How to rip Blu-ray/DVD contents to iTunes 11 library with multi-track?

Step1: Load Blu-ray/DVD movies.

Launch the best Blu-ray/DVD to iTunes with multi-track converter; import Blu-ray/DVD movies into the program. Loaded Blu-ray/DVD can be previewed in the right preview window.



Step 2: Choose output format

To rip Blu-ray/DVD to iTunes 11 library with multiple tracks, click the drop down box of “Format”, and choose the “Multi-track MP4 (*.mp4)” profile under “Multi-track Video”. This profile is designed to output videos with multiple audio tracks.



You can check the audios you want to keep and uncheck the audios you don’t need. It all depends on your own choices.

If you want to add the Blu-ray/DVD contents to iTunes 11 library for play on iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc, you can also directly select iPhone, iPad, iPod as the output format to get videos with optimized settings for your Apple devices. Read How to rip Blu-ray to iTunes for iPad, iPhone4, iPod and Apple TV? to get the detail information.

If you need, you can also click “Settings” to modify parameters of your output profile to meet your professional needs: bitrate, frame rate, aspect ratio, etc. Just remember the file size and video quality is mainly depends on bitrate than resolution which means higher bitrate results in big file size, lower visible quality loss and vice versa.

Step 3: The last step you need to do is hit the “Convert” button to start the conversion of Blu-ray/DVD content to iTunes 11 library supported format.

When the conversion is over, just find the folder of your output videos and add to your iTunes 11 library. Then you can play organize your Blu-ray/DVD contents on iTunes and put them on your Apple devices.

    Trial Download:

    NO. 2. Magic DVD Ripper – Good

    Price: $35 (Windows or Mac)


    Magic DVD Ripper


    Magic DVD Ripper detects and imports DVD from optical drive automatically. If you have a DVD backup on hard drive, you can select and load the VIDEO_TS folder instead. Magic features adequate common video formats (MP4, AVI, WMV) for average users, but 32 presets are not sufficient for Android users, since there’s only 1 format for Android tablet – the Kindle Fire. As Galaxy Tab owner I would like to put DVD movies onto the 10.1' tablet and I need a costumed format to ensure smooth playback on my device. Magic DVD Ripper failed to keep the original aspect ratio, and gave softer image. Magic DVD Ripper serves as a nice tool for copying and burning DVDs though.

    No. 3 DVDfab DVD Ripper – Good

    Price: $49 for one-year license (Windows or Mac)


    DVDfab DVD Ripper


    DVDfab has a comfortable blue interface, but it is not user-intuitive as Pavtube when it comes to operation. DVDfab DVD Ripper is good for those who would like to have external subtitles and 2 audio languages (MKV only), or those who want to rip a DVD to iPad MP4 and MKV at one time- this app queues up your conversion tasks and it pops up settings/queue box each time a chapter is selected (this makes the operation kind of misleading). There’re some presets for Android smartphones and tablets, and you’re allowed to custom your own format to utilize the screen of your tab. Overall, DVDfab is a nice choice for ripping DVD to MP4/MKV with multi-streams.
    No. 4 WinX DVD Ripper – Fair

    Price: $0 (freeware)


    WinX DVD Ripper


    WinX DVD Ripper seems smarter; you can whether load a DVD or a VIDEO_TS folder at the very start. However, the software failed to find the correct main movie when I did test with Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011) DVD, all it finds are extra movie trailers (e.g. Ice Age 4 as it shows in below sceenshot). Anyway, you should not expect much to a free tool. WinX support quite a lot of formats(MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV, MOV), and luckily I managed to find Samsung Galaxy Tab format which works for my device. Are there any other formats for more Android tablets? Unfortunately the answer is NO. WinX DVD Ripper failed to recognize the main movie during above test, but it’s still a good choice for those who hang on to freeware.

    No. 5 Aiseesoft DVD Ripper – Poor

    Price: $35 (Windows or Mac)



    The Aiseesoft DVD Ripper is a satisfactory application to use when you need to copy movie DVDs to computer, rip DVDs to videos or audios of any format so that you can enjoy them on your portable device like PSP, iPod, iPhone, iPad(iPad2), Zune, Blackberry, Creative Zen, Apple TV, Xbox, etc. The software does a good job working out the presets for popular Android smartphones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung GALAXY Note 2), yet not so good in terms of Android tablets- still lacking of presets to specific Android tabs. This DVD converter comes with creative editing tools, so you can customize output movies by trimming, cropping, watermarking, etc.

    In Conclusion:

    Pavtube DVDAid is proved to be the Best DVD Ripping program. It ranks top on the DVD ripping application list for almost every aspect except for interface design.

    Anyhow, hope this top 5 best DVD Ripper Review can help you fast choose an easy-to-use and yet professional DVD ripping tool. Now get the best DVD Ripper Program for You!

    Top 2. DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper – Good

    Price: $60 



    The good: When it comes to decrypting/hacking Blu-ray discs and DVDs, DVDfab is about as good as it gets. DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper well deserves its high reputation in decryption, and it handles not only AACS, BD+, Region code restriction, but also Cinavia protected Blu-rays. By taking advantage of CUDA accelerating, the conversion time is greatly shorted. If you want to rip a Blu-ray to MKV and keep 2 audio language and external subtitles, DVDfab would be your choice. 

    The bad: It is lacking of DVD ripping feature. It does not support AMD APP encoding. The interface is not very intuitive. And DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper costs more than its alternatives. 

    The bottom line: DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper decrypts and rips Blu-ray title to various video files playable on next generation consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360, HD player like WD TV Live, or mobile devices like iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc. 

    Editors' note: DVDfab has a comprehensive forum where you can communicate with other users and get helpful advices. There’s not support email but you can submit your problem to DVDfab. 

    Top 3. Leawo Blu-ray Ripper – Good

    Price: $44.95 



    The good: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper comes with the popular feature to convert 2D to 3D for users to enjoy the popular 3D effect and exports various HD and popular common video formats (M2TS, AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MOV, MKV, RMVB, etc). Leawo Blu-ray Ripper has stunning trim and crop feature- it trims movie more accurate and crops video more considerate than its competitors. It can load multiple Blu-ray and DVD movies at a time. If you have tons of movies waiting to rip and feel like having a Blu-ray Ripper queue them several movies for running overnight, Leawo is recommended. 

    The bad: Not recognizing Blu-ray ISO or forced subtitle (if there is). GPU encoding is restricted to Nvidia’s CUDA only. There’s no backup option for keeping original movie quality. 

    The bottom line: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is a nice tool for DVD and Blu-ray ripping. There may be some improvements for Leawo to make but it already performs well enough for average users to convert/put Blu-ray and DVD movies to iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Wii, etc. 

    Editors' note: We noticed that audio quality is noticeably degraded when ripping Blu-ray with Leawo Blu-ray Ripper. 

    Top 4. Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper – Fair

If you’re looking for a way putting movies onto a HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, or Motorola smartphone, the Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is worth checking out. 

    The bad: It does not support Blu-ray ISO or BDMV structure. There’s no option for preserving only forced subtitles. Most Blu-ray Discs are not loading to the software. 

    The bottom line: Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper handles DVD ripping as good as any other rippers, but the company really needs to work hard and step forward in Blu-ray Disc cracking. Other than that, Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is impressively fast and helpful. 

    Editors' note: It seems that Aimersoft does not handle Blu-ray AACS and BD+ encryption properly and the software keeps popping up a message that we should contact customer support during our testing- the customer support staff offers but apologize though. 

    Top 5. Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper – Poor

    Price: $24.98 



    The good: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper can convert both standard Blu-ray videos and 3D Blu-ray videos to SD and HD video formats such as MKV, AVI, WMV, TS, etc. And it can preserve 3D effects when your source is 3D Blu-ray movie. NVIDIA CUDA and AMD APP graphic acceleration technology has been introduced to bring faster conversion experience. 

    The bad: The app does not decrypt Blu-ray protections and requires AnyDVD HD to be installed in advance for Blu-ray ripping. DVD ripping is not supported. 

    The bottom line: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper does not rip movies from Blu-ray Disc, but if you have had the Blu-ray cracked and saved onto computer hard drive, this tool would be helpful and useful for you to enjoy movies on iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Xbox, Zune, NDS, Wii, and 3D smartphones. 

    Editors' note: This tool is not recommended unless when you want to convert 3D Blu-ray and keep 3D effect.
