Getting Movies off of your DVD and onto Google Nexus 7 through a Mac

The Nexus 7 is Google's first tablet, utilizing a 7-inch screen, a Tegra 3 quad-core processor running on the latest Android Jelly Bean OS. It's good for you to surf the internet and play games, meanwhile it’s great for you to watch movies on the go. If you have some DVD movie collections and want to watch the DVD movies on Google Nexus 7, you may have to convert DVD to Nexus 7 supported H.264 or MPEG4 first since the Android 4.1 Tablet doesn't have a built-in DVD drive. To do this, you can follow a simple tutorial below, which mainly shows you how to get movies off of your DVD and onto Google Nexus 7 thru a Mac OS X.



In the first place, in order to backup DVD to Nexus 7 readable format, we'll need to get some help from 3rd-party software. There are many programs out there that allow you to make copies of your DVDs and let you watch them the way you want to view them. If you're confused about choosing a suitable one and looking for ease of use, I've success using Pavtube's DVDAid for Mac (Alternative Windows Version) to encode DVD to a playable format for Nexus 7.

Frankly, the program can be used as a great DVD to Nexus 7 Converter on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.. 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. Just download it and follow the step-by-step guide to download and put DVD movies on Nexus 7 Tablet via Mac in just a few clicks.

• Convert & Copy DVD movies to Google Nexus 7 on Mac

Step 1. Assuming you've downloaded the Mac DVD Ripper for Nexus 7, the first step is to load your movies from DVD disc to the program. You can also load DVD ISO/IFO and DVD Folders.



Step 2. Choose output format. You can easily find the optimized profile for Nexus 7 under 'Android' > 'Google Nexus 7 H.264 Video(*.mp4)'.



Tip – Click on "Settings" you could easily set bitrate, frame rate, codec, channels, sample rate, etc to adjust parameters that affect video quality and file size for the video you prefer. In my opinion, for watching movies on the Android-based Tablet, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss. Below is best format setting for Google Nexus 7 per my experience, you can take it as reference:



Video
Codec- H.264
Resolution- 1280×720
Bitrate- 15000 ~2000kbps
Framerate- 25fps

Audio
Codec- AAC
Sampling rate- 44.1khz
Bitrate- 128kbps
Channel- stereo

Step 3. Click the big "Convert" button to start ripping DVD to Nexus 7 MP4 videos on Mac.

After the conversion, just transfer the converted video files to your Nexus 7 from Mac. So there you have it. Pretty simple. In this way, you can watch DVD movies on Nexus 7 and enjoy them on the go.

For Windows users, you can check out a guide here to finish your workflow.

Get ByteCopy to load Blu-ray/DVD to FCP X with 5.1 sound on Mac Mavericks

Description: This is a detailed guide to help you extract Blu-ray/DVD movie, convert it to ProRes 422HQ with surround sound in FCPX with a clean edit.

Why I am missing 5.1 surround sound after converting Blu-ray/DVD to ProRes? Why FCP log and transfer does not work with Blu-ray/DVD? Can I obtain all the languages without losing surround sound in my digitized Blu-ray/DVD movies? You may have tried some blu-ray ripping tools and run into problems above. To be fair I have not tried many of them but also have problems like this. Hereby, with a successful trial, I'd like to share my experience here.



Firstly, you need a tool which is capable of rolling off Blu-ray/DVD disc protection, then convert them to multi-track ProRes 422 HQ with surround sound for editing in FCPX. On this step I recommend Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac because it's quite easy to use and work reliably.

How to rip BD/DVD to ProRes 422 HQ with 5.1 sound for FCP X

Step 1. Download and install this Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac, load disc.

Note: you need an external Blu-ray drive to make your Mac recognize Blu-rays firstly. Insert your discs, launch Pavtube and click the top left icon, you will find it detects your disc and shows the name automatically. Just click it to load.



Step 2. Choose format for editing on FCP X.

Click the "Format" icon; you may notice there're two options of ProRes 422 HQ. One is inside the "Final Cut Pro" the other is inside >Multi-track Video". The only difference between these two presets is that the former is common one-track preset while the later could keep all your audio tracks (languages). I'd prefer the Multi-track one.

Okay choose "Multi-track Video > Multi-track Apple ProRes 422(HQ)(*.mov).



Step 3. Customize V&A settings.

Let's move to "Settings" icon (right besides "Format"), you will find two tabs one for Video and the other for Audio. On Video tab, you can change target video quality as there are three levels for you to choose.

In the Audio tab, we can check the audio tracks we need as below:



Just leave unwanted audio tracks unchecked, change audio channels to "5.1 Channels". Click OK to confirm the change.

Step 4. Start conversion.

Back to main interface and hit "Convert" to start ripping Blu-ray/DVD to multi-track ProRes 422 HQ. After it completed, click "Open output folder" to quick locate the converted MOV files.
