Store many Blu-ray collections at home and want to watch Blu-ray movies on your Android Tablet & Smartphone? But, of course, we can't play Blu-ray on android directly. Here this guide is for users to easily copy and play Blu-ray movies on Android. 

With the constant release of new systems like Android series, Android Tablets/Phones become more and more popular among people all over the world, such as Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Mega 5.8/6.3,Google Nexus 10/7, Nexus 4, Kindle Fire HD 8.9/7, HTC One, Galaxy S3/S4, etc. are the market hot spots. 

According to a recent survey, the marketing share of Android is now approaching Apple. People who have an Android Tablet or Phone on their hand are in large number. They are all perfect for watching videos on the go. Therefore, there is a great demand for backing up, ripping and watching DVD movies onto Android devices.



However, Android phones/tablets don't have the Blu-ray drive for playing Blu-ray movies (Read Android Support Video Format). That means, if you want to watch Blu-ray movies on your Android tablet or smartphone anytime and anywhere you like, you will need to rip/compress Blu-ray to Android compatible video formats like MP4 so that you can play your favorite DVD movies freely on your Android talet or phone. 

To rip Blu-ray to Android devices, you need to simply get Blu-ray to Android Ripper and accomplish your task in a few mouse clicks! But Which is the Top Blu-ray ripping software 2013-2014? I simply connected to the internet and googled "Blu-ray Ripper Reviews", "Best Blu-ray Ripping Software", "Best Blu ray ripper" for a few top 5 and top 10 lists in which this software was either 1st or 2nd in most every one I come across.

So Pavtube Blu-ray to Android Ripper should be your first choice for ripping newly released Blu-ray movies from physical discs to Android, iOS, Windows 8 tablets and smartphones, stream to various Media players and TVs and backup to hard disk, etc. (Mac version: Blu-ray to Android Ripper for Mac)

1. Successful loading all Blu-rays. Unlike Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper and Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper which I tried but failed on loading Blu-rays, Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper recognizes all kinds of Blu-ray and DVD sources: BDMV folder, physical DVD, Blu-ray ISO, VIDEO_TS folder, DVD ISO and IFO file, protected Blu-ray Disc and unprotected Blu-ray Disc. Moreover, and it successfully detects main movie by default.

2. "Full disc copy" feature. Full disc copy is pretty fast, I tried once and it only took 30 minutes.

Tip: I used another Pavtube program called ByteCopy to backup my Blu-rays without quality loss. Meanwhile, several audio tracks and subtitles are preserved so I can switch language when watching movies.

3. Various output profile presets. 

4. Video Editor available. 

5. Other small but essential functions. Pavtube application takes advantage of the NVIDIA CUDA technology and AMD APP technology, and the conversion speed can be increased up to 6 times faster than ever before.

Easy to use, and both DVDs and blu-rays can be ripped. Ripping is fast. Just seemed the best product I could find, for ripping DVDs and blu-rays. The trial seemed to work so I decided to buy.

Workflow of editing Panasonic HPX-171E P2 MXF footages in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12

Description: With the P2 MXF to Sony Movie Studio converter you can easily find the best video and audio codec for converting Panasonic HPX-171E P2 MXF footages to edit in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.

Question:

“What’s the best video and audio codec for converting P2 MXF footages to edit in Movie Studio Platinum 12? Actually I am new one in this entire story about videos. My camera is 171e-Panasonic. My audio codec is pcm_s16le. I have a material and before I start to make editing in Movie Studio I would like to give the converted file to my friend for a first look on his computer or TV. What should I do?”

Solution:
To edit Panasonic HPX-171E P2 MXF footages in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12, you need to know which video and audio codec/formats this video editing tool supports. On Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 official website, I find it works well with AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, OMA, PCA, PNG, QuickTime®, RealMedia®, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WM. Among them, I prefer MPEG-2 as video codec since they can be supported only by Sony Movie Studio as well as the computer and TV you request.

 

Here is a brief instruction about how to convert Panasonic P2 MXF files to MPEG-2/AC3 for Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.
 
Setp 1. Free download the P2 MXF to MPEG-2 Converter. I used this app to successfully convert many MXF footages shot by my Canon XF100, so I guess it would also work well for your Panasonic P2 camcorder. 
 
Tip 1: If you are using a Mac OS X computer, Mac P2 MXF Converter is available as well.
 
Tip 2: When you import P2 MXF files from computer, don’t forget to copy the complete CONTENT folder from your camcorder to hard disk in advance.

Step 2. Hit the “Add video” button, navigate to the source file location and import your P2 MXF file.

 

 
Step 3. Then follow the path “Common Video > MPEG-2 Video(*.mpg)” and choose MPEG-2 as output format. Of course you would find other MPEG-2 profile under the “Format” list, but I would recommend this one because it allows you to change audio codec.
 

 

Step 4. Enter the “Settings” tab, and you can freely set profile presets in your own way. BTW, all these parameters under Profile Settings, including video codec, display resolution, bitrate, frame rate, etc, can be customized as you like to get better video and audio quality. To get better audio quality, you are suggested to switch Audio Codec from MP2 to AC3.

 

 
Step 5. Return back to the P2 MXF to Sony Movie Studio converter main UI, hit the big “Convert” button and start converting your P2 MXF files for Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12. Once it finishes, open output folder to locate the created MPEG-2 file and transfer it to Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 for video editing.
