Simple Guide - Rip/Convert Blu-ray movies to MP4 Video for Kindle Fire playback on Mac OS X Lion.
The process is straightforward. After inserting the Blu-ray Disc and loading your Blu-ray Disc movies into the Blu-ray to mp4 Converter for Kindle Fire on your Mac, click on the "Format" bar to choose a format for Blu-ray video conversion. Here I recommend you select “Nook Color (*.mp4)" in "Android" category. This profile is specially designed for Nook tablet, but still suitable for Kindle Fire.
After everything's set down, click the big "Convert" to start converting Blu-ray to Kindle Fire friendly videos. After several conversions and tests I worked out the best settings for converting Blu-rays to Kindle Fire, you can take it as reference:
Video
Video Codec- H.264
Video Format- .mp4
Resolution- 1280*720
Video Bitrate – 1500kbps
Frame Rate – 30fps
I choose H.264 .mp4 as the best format for Kindle Fire conversion because it is the recommended video format for local playback on Kindle Fire tablet by Amazon official site. Although Kindle Fire supports video playback up to 1080p, I choose 1280*720 for converting Blu-ray to Kindle Fire- the tablet screen resolution is 1024*600, and I don't plan to watch Kindle Fire videos on HDTV via HDMI output- I have WD TV Live Plus for HD movie playback. For watching videos on Kindle Fire tablet, 1500kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.
