Shrink/put/watch blu-ray movies on iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 for Mac
The new generation of iPod Touch is of no surprise, but again brings us a lot of joy. The iPod Touch 4 has followed the same roadmap as iPhone 4. Everything to do with iOS 4 showed up. You see wallpapers, multitasking, app folders as well as the A4 chip, camera, microphone, the longer battery, and Retina Display due to the changed body. For me, the most favored part is the Retina display which makes everything you see on iPod Touch 4 looks amazing. Games, movies and photos, all these are crisp and sharper. And that’s maybe what they call it “cutting edge”. I did try it with 720p movies, and the new iPod Touch 4th gen performs better than I expected! Vibrant image quality with stunning motions. Now I’m going to transfer all my blu-ray movie collections to the iPod Touch 4th gen. And I’d like to share with you how to shrink blu-ray movies to 720p video on Mac and put the blu-ray movies on iPod Touch 4.
What you’ll need:
Blu-Ray to iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 Converter for Mac
External BD drive that compatible with your Mac
iTunes v10
Step 1. Get ready for the blu-ray to iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 Converter for Mac.
Connect the external BD drive with your Mac/ MacBook, and place the blu-ray disc in the blu-ray disc drive. Download a trial of Blu-Ray to iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 Converter for Mac. Double click to install the program, and then run the blu-ray to iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 Converter for Mac. Note that the trial works with Intel processor only and put a Pavtube Logo on generated videos.
Step 2. Load blu-ray movie to the blu-ray to iPod/iPod Touch/iPod Touch 4 Converter for Mac
When the main interface pops up, click “BD/DVD Folder ” to load Blu-Ray movie from BD drive. The movie is listed chapter by chapter, and you could preview them and uncheck the chapters you do not want to rip. If you would like to rip the whole movie, select all the chapters and check the box “Merge into one”.
Step 3. Set output format for iPod Touch 4th Gen.
Click on the Format bar, and choose an appropriate format in iPod group. The video formats supported by iPod Touch 4th Gen are listed below:
a. H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
b. MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
c. Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
In iPod group you can find MPEG-4 and H.264 encoded iPod Touch video formats up to 640*480. To get 720p HD video quality, you got to do some format setting work. In order to shrink Blu-Ray to iPod Touch 4th Gen 720p video, you may follow HD Video>>H.264 HD Video (*.mp4), and click on “Settings” button to set video and audio parameters as it shows in the following picture:
You may click “Save As” and save this settings as a new format for iPod Touch 4th Gen, and find it in Custom group next time.
Step 4. Start compressing blu-ray movie to iPod Touch 4th Gen 720p video
Click the “Convert” button at bottom right to start ripping blu-ray movie to iPod Touch 4th Gen 720p video. A popup progress window will show you detailed information of the task. After conversion, you can find the ripping files via clicking “Open” button.
Step 5. Sync movies to iPod Touch 4th Gen
To sync videos to iPod Touch 4th Gen, you need to connect your new iPod Touch with Mac and make sure the videos are added to iTunes Library first. To add videos to iTunes Library, just open iTunes 10, select “Movies” in “Library” and follow “File”>> “Add to Library”.
When the iPod Touch 4th Gen is ready for iTunes, you will find “DEVICES” field appears with “My iPod” as a sub item. Select “My iPod”, click the Summary tab and select “Manually manage music and videos” below Options.
Unfold “My iPod”, you’ll see “Music”, “Movies” and “TV shows”, and you need to drag the ripped movies from the “Movies” of iTunes Library to “Movies” below “DEVICES”>> “My iPod”.
After the movies are transferred to iPod Touch 4th Gen, click the Eject button before you disconnect the iPod Touch 4th Gen.You can also use it to watch/share iPod Touch Video/Movie/Music on Apple TV via Airplay.

So you can instantly share iPad 2 movies with everyone in the room. Have you managed to try AirPlay of the new iPad 2nd Gen? Follow this guide to rip Blu-ray and DVD movies to iPad 2 and then send iPad 2 videos to Airplay enabled Apple TV for sharing.
Part 1. Put Blu-ray/DVD movie to iPad 2 Movie library

Step 2. Set iPad 2 optimized video formats for conversion.
Click “Format” and follow “iPad” to select an iPad optimized format from the 3 preset video formats for iPad.
iPad HD Video (*.mp4)- iPad 720p video up to 4000kbps, the best video quality iPad plays

iPad Video MPEG-4(*.mp4)- 640*480 video, smallest file size for ripping Blu-ray movies to iPad friendly format.
Tip: to reduce file size/conversion time, just click “Settings” and set a smaller bitrate (e.g. 2000kbps) before the Blu-ray to iPad 2 video conversion starts.
Step 3. Convert Blu-ray movie to iPad 2 supported video format.
Click “Convert” button to start ripping Blu-ray to iPad 2 videos. The faster your Mac computer is, the shorter it takes to convert 1080p Blu-ray movie to iPad 2 videos.

Step 1. Connect Apple TV with HDTV, and setup the Airplay enabled Apple TV for watching Blu-ray movies on HDTV thru Airplay.
Step 2. To send video an AirPlay device from iPad, just play videos from iPad 2 movie library, and press the “Airplay” button at the end of control bar of iPad 2 as it shows below. If you don’t see the button, iPad isn’t connected to the same Wi-Fi network as an AirPlay device, or the app you’re using doesn’t support AirPlay.
When iPad is streaming with AirPlay, it must remain connected to the Wi-Fi network. If you take iPad out of range, playback stops.

What does AirPlay mean to iPad 2 and Apple TV 2?
What is Apple’s AirPlay?
In case you haven’t been following along, AirPlay is the ability to wirelessly stream audio and video from a device like an iPad 2 to your 2nd generation Apple TV. The Apple’s AirPlay tech lets you stream music photos and video throughout your entire house wirelessly so you can enjoy your entire iTunes library in any room and anytime. It’s essentially and enhancement on the existing AirTunes feature that already let you stream audio from iTunes to an AirPort Express router so that you could pipe your tunes directly into a connected receiver. AirPlay wireless technology will be fully integrated into Apple devices, speaker docks, AV receivers, and stereo systems. AirPlay does more than just stream your music to external speakers. It streams information about your music, too. Song titles, artists, album names, elapsed and remaining time, and album artwork all appear on AirPlay-enabled speakers with graphical displays.
iPad with AirPlay
iPad can be more amazing with AirPlay tech. Apple iOS 4.3 includes upgrade of AirPlay for iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone and Apple TV devices. AirPlay now lets you stream media from an iPad to Apple TV so that you can watch iPad movies on HDTV and speakers wirelessly. All the great stuff on your iPad, video, audio and photos can be streamed to Apple TV 2 without a hitch. Suppose you have great HD videos on your iPad and some friends on your couch, or you’re in the middle of an epic action scene that could use a little more screen, just tap the AirPlay icon on your iPad and see it on your HDTV.
(Tip: Make sure your iPad and Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and the AirPlay icon appears automatically.)
Apple AirPlay Hands on-iPad video and music on HDTV
iOS 4.2 let me stream content from the iPad to the new Apple TV that was connected to a 55-inch TV. After connecting the Apple TV to a wireless network, I tapped the TV icon located in the upper-left portion of the iPad's iPod section, and selected Apple TV. I started Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and was surprised how quickly Apple TV recognized it. A second or two later, and the music was blaring through the TV's speakers. I was impressed with the simplicity of the process. Bringing up the on-screen media controls by double tapping the Home button let me access the aforementioned media controls.
I streamed TV episodes and home movies from the iPad to Apple TV without a hitch. My Blu-ray movie rip Toy Story 3 looked just fine on the big screen. For the techies out there, the file specs are: 1280×720 in .mp4 at 2000kbps with stereo sound (it seems 5.1 sounds are losing after upgrade to iOS 4.3, and I had to convert AC3 5.1 to stereo with Video Converter software to get the sound back). I also streamed photos to Apple TV; naturally those of higher resolution looked sharper and clearer on the large display.
The system is dead-easy. Just make sure that your i-device and your Apple TV are on the same wireless network. Then choose your app: iPod for video or music, the Photos app for, well, photos and the YouTube app for, uh, you get the idea. Once your media is playing or your photo is displayed, simply tap the little rectangle pierced with upwards-pointing triangle icon and choose “Apple TV” from the list that pops up.
As of right now, the only apps that can send video wirelessly via AirPlay to the Apple TV is the Video app on the iPad (iPod app on the iPhone/iPod Touch) and Apple’s own YouTube and Photos apps.
If you have content on your iPad or iPhone that you don’t have on your Mac/PC, then I suppose it’s handy to be able to stream that content to the Apple TV without the need of a middle-man device. And you may also rip Blu-ray movies to iPad for streaming to Apple TV via AirPlay.

Moist headphone tip is often the cause of tripping the water damage sensor (which Apple use to call a submersion sensors but when it was proven they could be tripped by a single drop they changed the name). Lots of people absentmindedly hold the headphones plug in their lips while fumbling with the phone, the case, untangling the cord. If your headphones jack sensor is tripped the one on the bottom in the docking connector usually is not tripped, unless you actually dropped the phone in water. There are additional sensors inside the phone, but you can't see these without voiding your warranty.That apple is requiring additional checks suggests to me they lost a court case somewhere, hushed it up with settlement NDAs, and decided they didn't want to go thru this again. It costs then nearly nothing to replace the phone if they keep the customer coming back to iTunes or to buy the next generation of the phone. vob to mpeg converter From a content management standpoint, I'd see one master copy of each song, movie, or whatever, on the servers in Maiden. Then the service will allow downloading to registered devices that support the media type. Streaming is unrealistic without WiFi or home broadband. I have unlimited AT&T data still, grandfathered in, but I'm in the minority.
