Rip Blu-ray and DVD movies to Kindle Fire HD 8.9 for watching with best video quality

Have you ever thought of copying some of your Blu-ray titles onto the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire to make full use of 1920x1200 8.9" HD display? Like many other tablets, Kindle Fire HD 8.9 does not deliver native support for Blu-ray/DVD movies, so if you have the intension to watch Blu-ray or DVD movies on it, you need to convert the Blu-ray movie into a format compatible with your Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in advance.

Q1: How to convert DVD movies to Kindle Fire HD 8.9?

"I am taking a chance that perhaps someone can give me some feedback I am having with. When I convert my favorites Blu-ray and DVD movies to Kindle Fire HD compatible video format, here is my confusion, which one should I save to? Could you give me some advice?"

A1: From Kindle Fire HD official website we know that Kindle Fire HD video format supported are: MP4, 3GP, VP8(.webm), and my suggestion is H.264 MP4 since this is popular video type that you could play on many other portable devices and your local computer. If you have trouble with detailed operation, check this webpage, it tells you exactly how to convert DVD movies to your Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

Q2: How to put Blu Ray Dvds to Kindle Fire HD?

"I'd like to transfer my Blu Ray Dvds to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. However, while I have had no problems with the original disks, the files play fine on my device, but everything I converted has the same error message: "video cannot be played". What is the problem?"

A2: First of all, check the transferred file location, you need put them to Gallery app directory and your tablet can find them and play well; and remember Android systems compatible Memory cards have a limit of 4GB per file because of the FAT32 file system, including Kindle Fire HD. 720p and 1080p movies today can be up to 10GB, and that's definitely will not transfer to the MircroSd card. So you need re-encode and downsize the file;
or if don't wanna re-encode and lose video quality, use Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper to rip your BD/DVD disks again, but this time, use its Split feature. Don't how-to? 

Don't worry, I find a guide page can help. 

The best way to get over 4GB file size limitation for Android Devices

According my experience, H.264 MP4 format is the best format for Kindle Fire HD 8.9. You'd better get a Top Blu-ray DVD Ripper software. After convert the movies to h.264 mp4, just transfer the generated videos to your Fire HD 8.9. 

Guide: How to Rip Blu-ray and DVD Movies to MP4 for Kindle Fire HD 8.9?

Step 1. Load Blu-ray/DVD movies.

Install and launch the best Blu-ray/DVD to Kindle Fire HD converter.

Note: An external Blu-ray drive is required for ripping Blu-ray/DVD disc.

Load Blu-ray Disc, DVD or ISO image to the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 movie Converter with one click.



Step 2. Select preferred language from drop-down list of "Subtitles" and "Audio" box.

Step 3. Click "Format" bar and select a MP4 format for Kindle Fire HD 8.9 playback. "Android -> Amazon Kindle Fire HD H.264 (*.mp4)" format is recommended for faster conversion and best movie effect.



Step 5. Click "Convert" to start ripping 1080p Blu-ray to Kindle Fire HD 7/8.9 compatible video.

Click the "Open" button to find the converted files when conversion completes and then you can transfer movies to Kindle Fire HD 8.9 easily, and bring your favorite Blu-ray and DVD movies when traveling.

Custom Settings

If you'd like to customize profile settings for better quality or higher resolution, proceed as follows before you start converting Blu-ray to Kindle Fire HD 8.9 video:

Click on "Settings" button. The pop-up Profile Settings window shows you a/v settings you're using.



To take advantage of your screen, set the video size exactly as the display resolution- i.e. 1920 x 1080 for Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

For better quality, set higher bitrate. We find the best balance between 2500kbps to 3000kbps on 8.9-inch screen. To shorten conversion time, set lower quality. Note that when you lower file size, you lower video quality.

Save your preference for future use

One thing good in Pavtube is that you can create new preset for use. For instance, I've decided the best settings work for converting videos to play on the 10.1-inch Kindle Fire HD, and wanna save it for future use, now all I need is save it as a custom preset. This is easy. Just proceed as follows.

1. In the settings window, press "Save As" button.
2. Give the custom preset a name, say "Kindle Fire HD Video 1920 x 1080 (*.mp4)".
3. Click "OK".

The next time you open up the Blu-ray ripper for converting movies to Kindle Fire HD, just press on "Format" bar and find the new preset under "Custom" group.

Download/Record iTunes Videos to Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra keeping subtitles and high quality

Are you troubling how to sync your iTunes video/music to Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra? The post will help you find the best DRM Removal program to legally remove DRM protection from iTunes videos and record them to Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra with high quality and keep subtitles.

Sony has unveiled its latest addition to its Xperia Z series, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra. Packing a large size HD display (Xperia Z1 in 5.0-inch and Xperia Z Ultra in 6.4-inch) that runs at 1080p resolution, the new Xperia Z series best other similarly handsets that all currently hover around 702p, which makes them the new favorite portable devices to provide smooth and high quality video playback. For many movie lovers who own lots of iTunes purchased M4V videos and movies, it is disappointing that iTunes movies cannot be transferred to Xperia Z1 or Xperia Z Ultra due to the DRM protection. In order to enable iTunes videos on Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra, you need remove DRM protection from iTunes movies in advance.

How to enable iTunes video/music DRM-free for Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra? 

Step 1: Install the DRM Removal program – Pavtube ChewTune.

Pavtube ChewTune 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 Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra. Here I suggest you choose “Common Video -> H.264 Video (*.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 Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra.

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 Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra, it’s very eary.



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 Sony Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra recording. So if you wanna get a test before fully purchasing, it’s better to select a small sample video for testing.

Tip 3: 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.
