Nowadays, more and more people tend to capture the happiest and sweetest moments with Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras. We may shoot lots of smooth and sharp HD (high definition) footages during travelling or family time, and we usually save or import those great movies to our computer rather than locking them in our camera, because:

Note: Most of Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras are HD video recording (The movie definition of W and H series camera is 1280 x 720, while other camera is 1920 x 1080).

Galaxy S III software leak reveals potential S4-class upgrades



Samsung appears to be making good on its promise to port Galaxy S4 features to the Galaxy S III. A test Android 4.2.2 update, discovered by SamMobile, includes the lockscreen effects and widgets, enhanced screen modes, updated settings, and new S Voice control features found in Samsung's new flagship. Samsung previously said it would include updates that were "not dependent on hardware," ruling out gestures like Air View and the smart TV remote app.

The Android update is currently undergoing internal testing and is available as an unofficial pre-release ROM, suggesting that the company could add or remove features before an official rollout — which is reportedly slated for June. Given the unofficial nature of the ROM, we don't recommend that you install it at this time.

Best Android Video Converter-Transfer 1080p/720p Video to Android Tablet & Phone

Google's Android mobile OS is considered one of the best alternatives to Apple's iOS when it comes to tablets computers and smartphones. More and more people are getting fond of Android OS to watch video and movies on their tablets including Asus Infinity TF700, Google Nexus 7, Transformer Prime,  Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Tab 2and smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3, Galaxy S4, HTC One, Google Nexus 4, HTC One Xand more.
            

We're not really surprised, and have seen this trend with our client, colleagues, friends and family members because of its open-source nature and powerful system equipments. Nowadays, it's common to have loads of 1080p/720p HD videos and movies stored on your HDD or home server. These 1080p/720p video materials always come from Blu-ray backups, camera footage, TiVo recordings, downloaded movie torrents, etc. Due to format restrictions, Android-based devices do not have native support for all these videos in different file types. 

Read Supported Video Formats for Android

"Dear all, 
Can you please suggest what is the best (or good) video Converter tool to convert videos/movies in nexus 7 format for loading in Nexus 7 tablet? 
I tried searching a few..all of them look good but before buying, I would appreciate your feedback to make the best buy. Thanks"
 

If you attempt to watch videos in your Android device unsupported file format, you need to do format conversion previously. The following guide demonstrates how to convert 1080p/720p HD Videos and Movies to Android Tablets or Phones on Windows or Mac.

The above mentioned two programs have the same operation procedure, but running on different platforms. Here we run Pavtube Video to Android Converter Windows Version to guide you through how to transcode 1080p/720p Full HD movies to Android devices for playback.

How to put any 1080p/720p video to Android Tablet or Phone?

Step 1: Start up Pavtube 1080p/720p video to Android Converter, then click "Add video" or "Add from folder" tab to load your 1080p/720p source files.


 
Step 2: Click format menu to choose output format for playing any videos on your Android tablet or smartphone.

Most Android devices support below video and audio formats:

Video Codec: H.264
If there're universal codecs for Android devices, they must be H.264, MPEG-4 and H.263. Among them, H.264 is regarded as the most advanced codec and is widely used accepted.

Audio Codec: AAC/MP3
Every smartphone plays AAC and MP3 audio, but I'll suggest you choose AAC for better audio quality.

Video Format: MP4
MP4 is recommended because it is a most widely accepted video format for portable devices. Indeed, MKV and AVI video are OK for most Android tablets and phones, but MP4 can not only be transferred to Android handsets, but also be put onto iPad, iPod Touch, PSP and over majority of portable media players.

Pavtube software comes with optimal format presets for Android devices developed by different brands, such as ASUS, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Google, Amazon and more, so that you can select a target format for your Android device directly in an easy way.
 

 
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start converting 1080p/720p video to MP4 for transferring to Android tablet or phone. When finished, click "Open" button to get the generated video files for playing with your Android tablets or phones.  

Additional Tips

Android tablets only recognize SD cards formatted in FAT 32, this limits a single file size less than 4GB. If you worry about getting a big video file larger than 4GB, you can use split feature in Pavtube software to split a large 1080p/720p file into multiple chunks under 4GB. Learn to split a large video file into several small files under 4GB for Android device.

What you need: Pavtube DVD Creator for Mac, DVD writer, blank disc (DVD-5/DVD-9)

1. Place the DVD that you want to copy into the Mac.

2. Connect a DVD writer to Mac with blank disc in it. 

3. Run the DVD Creator for Mac from Applications. Select "Quick Burn" from drop-down menu of Quick Start button.



4. In the pop-up window, check "From DVD folder".



5. Browse to the source DVD, choose it. 

6. Press "Burn" button. And the DVD maker software should start copying DVD movie to the blank disc. In this way you can make a 1:1 copy of self-created DVD.

Keep in mind that these directions are only for copying DVDs that do not have any form of copy protection encoded on them. To make a duplicate of commercial DVD, you'll first need Pavtube DVDAid for Mac software to crack and archive the whole DVD directory to hard drive.

Part Two: How to make a Copy of a commercial DVD on Mac OS X Lion/Mountain Lion

What you need: Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac, Pavtube DVD Creator for Mac, DVD writer, blank disc (DVD-5/DVD-9)

If you have at hand a great number of DVD movie collections, there's good chance that you wanna backup DVD movies to blank DVD discs so as to still take the copy out even if the original disc is broken or out of use. What frustrated is that copyright protection prevents DVD burning apps from copying the DVD movies. That's where DVD Ripper come in – by cracking CSS+ and region code restriction it turns commercial DVDs into fair-use movies. Follow the guide below to rip a DVD into VIDEO_TS folder without making change of the original files

1. Place the DVD that you want to copy into the Mac.

2. Run Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac, click "DVD ROM" to hack protections and load movies.


3. Click the small folder icon in Output field to specify an output location on your hard drive. Make sure there is enough free space for the DVD VIDEO_TS folder.

4. When the movie is loaded, press "Copy" button to start backing up DVD folder onto your Mac hard drive

Tip: DVDs have a number of copy prevention mechanisms. When you rip the DVD, you strip off those mechanisms but copy the rest of the video unadulterated. This means that the ripped DVD will take up as much space as the files on the DVD itself.

Once the process complete, you can click "Open" to find the free-region VIDEO_TS folder, which contains VOB streams, as well as IFO and BUP files. You can easily import the copied VIDEO_TS folder to Pavtube DVD Creator for Mac and make a duplicate copy.
